چکیده

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is part of a nuclear receptor superfamily that regulates gene expression involved in cell differentiation, proliferation, immune/inflammation response, and lipid metabolism. PPARγ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), initially identified as a PPARγ-interacting protein, is an important regulator of diverse metabolic pathways, such as oxidative metabolism and energy homeostasis. The role of PGC-1α in diabetes, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disease is particularly well known. PGC-1α is also now known to play important roles in cancer, independent of the role of PPARγ in cancer. Though many researchers have studied the expression and clinical implications of PPARγ and PGC-1α in cancer, there are still many controversies about the role of PPARγ and PGC-1α in cancer. This review examines and summarizes some recent data on the role and action mechanisms of PPARγ and PGC-1α in cancer, respectively, particularly the recent progress in understanding the role of PPARγ in several cancers since our review was published in 2012.

Gly482Ser mutation impairs the effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α on decreasing fat deposition and stimulating phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase expression in hepatocytes.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) is a transcriptional coactivator of nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ that critically regulates glucose and fat metabolism. Although clinical evidence suggests that Gly482Ser polymorphism of PGC-1α is associated with an increased incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a direct role for Gly48...

Morin, a plant derived flavonoid, modulates the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α mediated by AMPK pathway in hepatic stellate cells.

Morin exerts inhibitory effects on hepatic stellate cell (HSC) stimulation which is considered important step for fibrogenesis in liver. These morin-induced inhibitory effects are mediated through enhancement in the expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ). PPARγ plays a critical role in inhibition of HSC stimulation. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ...

Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor-γ Coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) Enhances Engraftment and Angiogenesis of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Diabetic Hindlimb Ischemia

To examine whether the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), a key regulator linking angiogenesis and metabolism, could enhance the engraftment and angiogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in diabetic hindlimb ischemia, we engineered the overexpression of PGC-1α within MSCs using an adenoviral vector encoding green fluorescent protein and PGC-1α, and then te...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α in muscle links metabolism to inflammation

1. In higher eukaryotes, metabolism and immunity are tightly coupled. However, whereas evolutionary, a compromised immune response due to undernourishment has been the predominant problem, the inflammatory response to obesity and other life style-associated diseases gained in relevance in Western societies in the last hundred years. 2. Traditionally, fat tissue has been considered as the major ...

Prognostic value of plasma levels of HIF-1a and PGC-1a in breast cancer

Cellular adaptive mechanisms are crucial for tumorigenesis and a common feature in solid tumor progression. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) facilitates the biological response to hypoxia, advancing angiogenesis and metastatic potential of the tumor. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivators 1α (PGC-1α) enhances mitochondrial biogenesis, favored by migratory/invasive can...
