Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ ligands for the treatment of breast cancer

Fenner, Martin H, Elstner, Elena·2005·Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs

Abstract

Pioglitazone and rosiglitazone are thiazolidinediones used for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. They modulate glucose and fat metabolism, mainly by binding to the nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma. PPAR-gamma signalling is involved in a number of other disease conditions including cancer. In breast cancer cells, PPAR-gamma ligands inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. PPAR-gamma ligands also inhibit tumour angiogenesis and invasion. The only published clinical trial using a PPAR-gamma ligand in patients with metastatic breast cancer failed to show any clinical benefits. The mechanism of action of the thiazolidinediones in breast cancer cells is not fully understood but involves interactions with other nuclear hormone receptors, transcriptional co-activators and repressors as well as PPAR-gamma-independent effects. A better understanding of these mechanisms will be needed before PPAR-gamma ligands may be useful in the treatment of breast cancer patients.

  • A disparity in the inflammatory cytokine system occurs in obese individuals with heart failure: pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1β, ANP, and TNF-α increase, while anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β do not correspondingly increase.

    “It appears that a disparity in the inflammatory cytokine system occurs in obese individuals with heart failure since, while pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α increase, there is not a corresponding increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10 and TGF-β (122, 366).”

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.
