Abstract

Peroxisome proliferators are a diverse group of chemicals, including several hypolipidaemic drugs, that activate a nuclear hormone receptor termed the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR). The peroxisomal enzyme acyl CoA oxidase (ACO) is the most widely used marker of peroxisome proliferator action. We have examined the 5' flanking region of the rat ACO gene for sequences that mediate the transcriptional effect of peroxisome proliferators and have identified an element located 570 bp upstream of the ACO gene that confers responsiveness to the hypolipidaemic peroxisome proliferator Wy-14,643. This peroxisome proliferator response element (PPRE) contains a direct repeat of the sequence motifs TGACCT and TGTCCT and binds PPAR. These data therefore indicate an important role of PPAR in mediating the action of peroxisome proliferators including the induction of ACO.

  • PPARγ heterodimerizes with RXRs.

    “PPAR␥ heterodimerizes with RXRs (Tugwood et al., 1992), and, during ligand activation, the PPAR/RXR heterodimer recruits coactivators and binds to sequence-specific PPAR response elements present in the promoter region of several target genes.”

    From PPARγ/RXRα-Induced and CD36-Mediated Microglial Amyloid-β Phagocytosis Results in Cognitive Improvement in Amyloid Precursor Protein/Presenilin 1 Mice (2012) · cites this paper as Tugwood et al., 1992

    The Introduction and Discussion describe PPAR binding a response element in the rat ACO promoter. The Discussion mentions RXR only in comparing response-element sequences; it does not say that PPARγ heterodimerizes with RXRs. Searches for RXR heterodimerization and PPARγ found no passage addressing that claim. (LLM, conf=0.76)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

    “PPAR␥ heterodimerizes with RXRs (Tugwood et al., 1992), and, during ligand activation, the PPAR/RXR heterodimer recruits coactivators and binds to sequence-specific PPAR response elements present in the promoter region of several target genes.”

    The citation is attached to the statement that PPARγ heterodimerizes with RXRs. The Discussion (page not available in our copy) describes PPAR binding a response element in the ACO promoter and separately mentions an RXR response element, but does not say that PPARγ heterodimerizes with RXR. Searches for heterodimerization and RXR partnership found no supporting passage; the later coactivator statement is not attached to this citation. (LLM, conf=0.75)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
