The reversed feeding disrupts the expression of clock genes in the liver. Recently, a novel role of PPAR-γ as a regulator in correlating circadian rhythm and metabolism was demonstrated. This study examined the influence of PPAR-γ agonist pioglitazone (PG) on the mRNA expression profile of principle clock genes and inflammation-related genes in the mouse liver disrupted by reverse feeding. Methods Mice were randomly assigned to daytime-feeding and nighttime-feeding groups. Mice in daytime-feeding groups received food from 7 AM to 7 PM, and mice in nighttime-feeding groups received food from 7 PM to 7 AM. PG was administered in the dose of 20 mg/kg per os as aqueous suspension 40 μl at 7 AM or 7 PM. Each group consisted of 12 animals. On day 8 of the feeding intervention, mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation at noon (05 hours after light onset (HALO)) and midnight (HALO 17). Liver expressions of Bmal1, Clock, Rev-erb alpha, Cry1, Cry2, Per1, Per2, Cxcl5, Nrf2, and Ppar-γ were determined by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Liver expression of PPAR-γ, pNF-κB, and IL-6 was determined by Western blotting. Glucose, ceruloplasmin, total cholesterol, triglyceride concentrations, and ALT and AST activities were measured in sera by photometric methods. The null hypothesis tested was that PG and the time of its administration have no influence on the clock gene expression impaired by reverse feeding. Results Administration of PG at 7 AM to nighttime-feeding mice did not reveal any influence on the expression of the clock or inflammation-related genes either at midnight or at noon. In the daytime-feeding group, PG intake at 7 PM led to an increase in Per2 and Rev-erb alpha mRNA at noon, an increase in Ppar-γ mRNA at midnight, and a decrease in Nfκb (p65) mRNA at noon. In general, PG administration at 7 PM slightly normalized the impaired expression of clock genes and increased anti-inflammatory potency impaired by reversed feeding. This pattern was supported by biochemical substrate levels—glucose, total cholesterol, ALT, and AST activities. The decrease in NF-κB led to the inhibition of serum ceruloplasmin levels as well as IL-6 in liver tissue. According to our data, PG intake at 7 PM exerts strong normalization of clock gene expression with a further increase in Nrf2 and, especially, Ppar-γ and PPAR-γ expression with inhibition of Nfκb and pNF-κB expression in daytime-feeding mice. These expression changes resulted in decreased hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, ALT, and AST activities. Thus, PG had a potent chronopharmacological effect when administered at 7 PM to daytime-feeding mice.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) gene is located at 3p25 position. PPARγ functions as the master regulator of glucose homeostasis and lipoprotein metabolism, and recent studies have reported that it is involved in various metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease (CAD), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). PPARγ1 and PPARγ2 are necessary for the development of adipose tissue and insulin sensitivity regulation. But PPARγ2 is the isoform that was controlled in response to nutrient intake and obesity. Methodology. In this study, we used computational techniques to show the impact of Pro12Ala polymorphism on PPARγ2. The 3-D structure of PPARγ2 was modeled using I-TASSER server. The modeled structure was validated with the ZLab server, and the mutation was created with SPDB viewer. Stability prediction tools were used. Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) was used to understand the structural and functional behavior of the wild type and mutant. Essential dynamics was also applied. Results and Conclusions. Stability prediction tools were showed that this mutation has a destabilizing effect on the PPARγ2 structure. The RMSD, RMSF, Rg, SASA, and DSSP were in line with H-bond results that showed less flexibility in the mutant structure. Essential dynamics was used to verify MDS results. Pro12Ala polymorphism leads to rigidity of the PPARγ2 protein and might disturb the conformational changes and interactions of PPARγ2 and results in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), CAD, and NAFLD. This study can help scientists to develop a drug therapy against these diseases.","PeriodicalId":20439,"journal":{"name":"PPAR Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49239561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study found that the expression of several PPAR pathway-related genes were linked to the prognosis of COAD patients. Therefore, we developed a scoring system (named PPAR-Riskscore) that can predict patients' outcomes. PPAR-Riskscore was constructed by univariate Cox regression based on the expression of 4 genes (NR1D1, ILK, TNFRSF1A, and REN) in tumor tissues. Compared to typical TNM grading systems, PPAR-Riskscore has better predictive accuracy and sensitivity. The reliability of the system was tested on six external validation datasets. Furthermore, PPAR-Riskscore was able to evaluate the immune cell infiltration and chemotherapy sensitivity of each tumor sample. We also combined PPAR-Riskscore and clinical features to create a nomogram with greater clinical utility. The nomogram can help clinicians make precise treatment decisions regarding the possible long-term survival of patients after surgery.","PeriodicalId":20439,"journal":{"name":"PPAR Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45193358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The etiology of IBD is multifactorial, including genetic predisposition, dysregulated immune response, microbial dysbiosis, and environmental factors. However, many of the existing therapies are associated with marked side effects. Therefore, the development of new drugs for IBD treatment is an important area of investigation. Here, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of α-bisabolol, a naturally occurring monocyclic sesquiterpene alcohol present in many aromatic plants, in colonic inflammation. To address this, we used molecular docking and dynamic studies to understand how α-bisabolol interacts with PPAR-γ, which is highly expressed in the colonic epithelium: in vivo (mice) and in vitro (RAW264.7 macrophages and HT-29 colonic adenocarcinoma cells) models. The molecular docking and dynamic analysis revealed that α-bisabolol interacts with PPAR-γ, a nuclear receptor protein that is highly expressed in the colon epithelium. Treatment with α-bisabolol in DSS-administered mice significantly reduced Disease Activity Index (DAI), myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and colonic length and protected the microarchitecture of the colon. α-Bisabolol treatment also reduced the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL1β, TNF-α, and IL-17A) at the protein and mRNA levels. The expression of COX-2 and iNOS inflammatory mediators were reduced along with tissue nitrite levels. Furthermore, α-bisabolol decreased the phosphorylation of activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling and nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) proteins and enhanced colon epithelial PPAR-γ transcription factor expression. However, the PPAR-α and β/δ expression was not altered, indicating α-bisabolol is a specific stimulator of PPAR-γ. α-Bisabolol also increased the PPAR-γ transcription factor expression but not PPAR-α and β/δ in pretreated in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. α-Bisabolol significantly decreased the expression of proinflammatory chemokines (CXCL-1 and IL-8) mRNA in HT-29 cells treated with TNF-α and HT-29 PPAR-γ promoter activity.

We demonstrated a protective role of OEA on liver I/R injury by using a mouse model of partial warm ischemia-reperfusion and hypoxia-reoxygenation model of hepatocytes. These effects were caused by ameliorating liver damage, decreasing the level of serum ALT and AST, and reducing the apoptosis of hepatocytes.

In this study, we first tested the association between rs1801133 genotypes and Hcy level in H-type hypertension using clinical profiles collected from 203 patients before and after the treatment using enalapril maleate and folic acid tablets (EMFAT). Then, we constructed a literature-based pathway analysis to explore the role of the rs1801133-PPARG signaling pathway in H-type hypertension and its treatment. Although presented similar blood pressure, the patients with TT genotype of rs1801133 were much younger (p value <0.05) and significantly higher in Hcy levels (x2 = 6.11 and p < 0.005) than that in the CC and CT genotype groups. Pathway analysis showed that T-allele of rs1801133 could inhibit the expression of PPARG through the downregulation of folate levels and upregulation of Hcy levels, which increased the risk of hypertension and hyperhomocysteinemia. Treatment using EMFAT led to similarly decreased Hcy levels for all patients with different genotypes (x2 = 86.00; p < 0.36), which may occur partially through the activation of PPARG. Moreover, even after treatment, the patients with TT genotype still presented significantly higher Hcy levels (x2 = 7.87 and p < 0.001). Our results supported that rs1801133 mutation could play a role in H-type hypertension, which might be partially through the downregulation of PPARG.
