Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) is a class of ligand-activated nuclear transcription factors, which is a member of type II nuclear receptor superfamily. Previous studies demonstrate that PPARγ is expressed in a variety of tumor tissues and is closely associated with the proliferation and prognosis of digestive system tumors by its roles in mediation of cell differentiation, induction of cell apoptosis, and inhibition of cell proliferation.
期刊介绍:
PPAR Research is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that publishes original research and review articles on advances in basic research focusing on mechanisms involved in the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), as well as their role in the regulation of cellular differentiation, development, energy homeostasis and metabolic function. The journal also welcomes preclinical and clinical trials of drugs that can modulate PPAR activity, with a view to treating chronic diseases and disorders such as dyslipidemia, diabetes, adipocyte differentiation, inflammation, cancer, lung diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and obesity.
