PPARα/γ-Independent Effects of PPARα/γ Ligands on Cysteinyl Leukotriene Production in Mast Cells
نویسنده
چکیده
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha ligands (Wy-14,643, and fenofibrate) and PPARgamma ligands (troglitazone and ciglitazone) inhibit antigen-induced cysteinyl leukotriene production in immunoglobulin E-treated mast cells. The inhibitory effect of these ligands on cysteinyl leukotriene production is quite strong and is almost equivalent to that of the anti-asthma compound zileuton. To develop new aspects for anti-asthma drugs the pharmacological target of these compounds should be clarified. Experiments with bone-marrow-derived mast cells from PPARalpha knockout mice and pharmacological inhibitors of PPARgamma suggest that the inhibitory effects of these ligands are independent of PPARs alpha and gamma. The mechanisms of the PPAR-independent inhibition by these agents on cysteinyl leukotriene production are discussed in this review.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a family of nuclear hormone receptors that control the expression of genes involved in a variety of physiologic processes, through heterodimerization with retinoid X receptor and complex formation with various cofactors. Drugs or treatment regimens that combine the beneficial effects of PPARα and γ agonism present an attractive therapeutic...

The thiazolidinedione class peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonists are restricted in clinical use as antidiabetic agents because of side effects such as edema, weight gain, and heart failure. The single and selective agonism of PPARγ is the main cause of these side effects. Multitargeted PPARα/γ/δ pan agonist development is the hot topic in the antidiabetic drug resea...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs, α, β/δ, and γ) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors. PPARs regulate the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism. 8( S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (8- S-HETE), leukotriene B4(LTB4), and hypolipidemic fibrates activate PPARα, whereas PPARγ is activated by prostaglandin metabolites. ...
