Activated PPAR Targets Surface and Intracellular Signals That Inhibit the Proliferation of Lung Carcinoma Cells

Table 1

PPARγ-dependent signals in mediating the effects of PPARγ ligands.

(1) PPARγ ligands inhibit cancer cell growth and induce apoptosis via:

PG receptors (e.g., EP2 and EP4)
Tumor suppressors (e.g., PTEN, p21)
Inflammatory factors (e.g., NF-κB, MCP-1, COX-2)
Angiogenic factors (e.g., VEGF)
Survival factors (e.g., PI3-K/Akt, mTOR)
Other kinase signals (e.g., ERK, p38 MAPK)
Growth factor receptors (e.g., EGF-R, PDGF-R)
Extracellular matrices (e.g., fibronectin,MMP-9)
Integrin receptors (e.g., α5β1)
Others (e.g., cytokines (e.g., IL-13, IL-21, TGF-β1) and chemokines (e.g., MIP-1β))
