过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ在炎症相关疾病中作用的研究进展

摘要

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma(PPARγ)is a member of typeⅡ nuclear receptor superfamily,as a ligand-dependent transcription factor. In recent years,studies have shown that activated PPARγ is capable of modulating the expression of numerous genes and is involved in many physiological and pathological processes,including anti-obesity,anti-atherosclerosis,anti-diabetes mellitus,anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory skin diseases. These diseases are closely related to inflammation. In this review,the research progress of PPARγ in inflammation and inflammatory-related diseases will be summarized.%过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(PPARγ)是一种配体依赖性转录因子,属Ⅱ型核受体超家族成员.近年来的研究表明,配体激活的PPARγ能够调控大量基因表达,参与抗肥胖、抗动脉粥样硬化、抗糖尿病、抗肿瘤、抗皮肤炎症性疾病等机体众多的生理和病理过程,而这些疾病与炎症息息相关.因此,文章主要就PPARγ在炎症以及炎症相关疾病中的研究进展作一综述.
