Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors that are related to retinoid, steroid and thyroid hormone receptors. The PPAR subfamily comprises of three members, PPAR-alpha, PPAR-beta and PPAR-gamma. PPAR-gamma has recently been implicated as a regulator of cellular proliferation and inflammatory responses. There is good evidence that ligands of PPAR-gamma, including certain thiazolinediones, reduce tissue injury associated with ischemia and reperfusion. The potential utility of PPAR-gamma ligands in ischemia and reperfusion will be discussed in this review.
过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体(PPARs)是核激素受体超家族中配体激活转录因子的成员,与视黄酸、类固醇和甲状腺激素受体相关。PPAR亚家族由三个成员组成,即PPAR-α、PPAR-β和PPAR-γ。最近有研究表明PPAR-γ是细胞增殖和炎症反应的调节因子。有充分证据表明,PPAR-γ的配体,包括某些噻唑烷二酮类药物,可减轻与缺血再灌注相关的组织损伤。本文将讨论PPAR-γ配体在缺血再灌注中的潜在应用。
