peroxisomes are single membrane bound organelles present in a wide variety of eukaryotes from yeast to human, have different functions, two of which are well conserved, i.e. hydrogen peroxide decomposition and fatty acid beta-oxidation. the process of peroxisome biogenesis can be divided into distinct steps including peroxisome membrane assembly, import of matrix proteins and peroxisome prolife...

background: p19 cells are mouse embryonic carcinoma cells which contain pluripotent ability, like stem cells, to differentiate into different cell lines. there are several properties for this cell line that make it a valuable cell model for study of developmental stages. methods: at the first step, pts2-egfp coding sequence which was cloned in pucd2.hygro vector was used for transfection in to ...

in this presentation, we review briefly on biogenesis of peroxisomes with regard to the recent findings on biogenesis. peroxisomes perform a range of various functions as oxidation of very long chain fatty acids, generation and removal of hydrogen peroxide, while peroxisomes have also been implicated in β-oxidation of aromatic and cyclic compounds, synthesis of plasmalogens, isoprenoids, lysine...

discussions in comparison to the control of wy14643, sandoz58-035, c9 and t11-cla, epa increased the pparα mrna levels (p = 0.024, p = 0.041, p = 0.043, and p = 0.004, respectively), even though, la had no significant effect on the pparα mrna expression (p = 0.489). materials and methods this experimental study investigated the effects of c9, t11-conjugated linoleic acid (c9, t11-cla). alpha li...

we searched for novel chinese hamster ovary (cho) cell mutants defective in peroxisome biogenesis by an improved method using peroxisome targeting sequence (pts) of pex3p (amino acid residues 1–40)-fused enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp). from mutagenized tkaeg3(1–40) cells, the wild-type cho-k1 stably expressing rat pex2p and of rat pex3p(1–40)-egfp, numerous cell colonies resistant to...

objective(s): herbal medicines are promising cancer preventive candidates. it has been shown that punica granatum l. could inhibit angiogenesis and tumor invasion. in this study, we investigated whether the anti-angiogenic effect of pomegranate peel extract (ppe) is partly attributable to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (ppars) activation in the human umbilical vein endothelial cell...
