Disease[PPARG_HUMAN] Note=Defects in PPARG can lead to type 2 insulin-resistant diabetes and hyptertension. PPARG mutations may be associated with colon cancer. Defects in PPARG may be associated with susceptibility to obesity (OBESITY) [MIM:601665]. It is a condition characterized by an increase of body weight beyond the limitation of skeletal and physical requirements, as the result of excessive accumulation of body fat.[1] Defects in PPARG are the cause of familial partial lipodystrophy type 3 (FPLD3) [MIM:604367]. Familial partial lipodystrophies (FPLD) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by marked loss of subcutaneous (sc) fat from the extremities. Affected individuals show an increased preponderance of insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia.[2] [3] Genetic variations in PPARG can be associated with susceptibility to glioma type 1 (GLM1) [MIM:137800]. Gliomas are central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells and comprise astrocytomas, glioblastoma multiforme, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas. Note=Polymorphic PPARG alleles have been found to be significantly over-represented among a cohort of American patients with sporadic glioblastoma multiforme suggesting a possible contribution to disease susceptibility. Function[PPARG_HUMAN] Receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Once activated by a ligand, the receptor binds to a promoter element in the gene for acyl-CoA oxidase and activates its transcription. It therefore controls the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Key regulator of adipocyte differentiation and glucose homeostasis. Acts as a critical regulator of gut homeostasis by suppressing NF-kappa-B-mediated proinflammatory responses.[4] [5] [6] [PRGC1_HUMAN] Transcriptional coactivator for steroid receptors and nuclear receptors. Greatly increases the transcriptional activity of PPARG and thyroid hormone receptor on the uncoupling protein promoter. Can regulate key mitochondrial genes that contribute to the program of adaptive thermogenesis. Plays an essential role in metabolic reprogramming in response to dietary availability through coordination of the expression of a wide array of genes involved in glucose and fatty acid metabolism.[7] [8] [9] Publication Abstract from PubMedPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma; NR1C3) is known as a key regulator of adipocytogenesis and the molecular target of thiazolidinediones (TZDs), also known as antidiabetic agents. Despite the clinical benefits of TZDs, their use is often associated with adverse effects including peripheral edema, congestive heart failure, and weight gain. Here we report the identification and characterization of a non-thiazolidinedione PPARgamma partial agonist, Cerco-A, which is a derivative of the natural product, (-)-cercosporamide. Cerco-A was found to be a binder of the PPARgamma ligand-binding domain in a ligand competitive binding assay and showed a unique cofactor recruitment profile compared to rosiglitazone. A crystal structure analysis revealed that Cerco-A binds to PPARgamma without direct hydrogen bonding to helix12. In PPARgamma transcriptional activation assay and an adipocyte differentiation assay, Cerco-A was a potent partial agonist of PPARgamma. After a 14-day oral administration, once per day of Cerco-A in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, an apparent decrease of plasma glucose and triglyceride was observed, as with pioglitazone. To evaluate drug safety, Cerco-A was administered for 13 days orally in non-diabetic Zucker fatty (ZF) rats. Each of the hemodilution parameters (hematocrit, red blood cells number, and hemoglobin), which are considered as undesirable effects of TZDs, was improved significantly compared to pioglitazone. While Cerco-A showed body weight gain, as with pioglitazone, Cerco-A had significantly lower effects on heart and white adipose tissues weight gain. The results suggest that Cerco-A offers beneficial effects on glycemic control with attenuated undesirable side effects.
