The effect and mechanism of PPARγ ligands in bladder cancer.

Type of Ligands Cell Type Type of Effect Mechanism Year Ref.
Rosiglitazone,
Pioglitazone
5637, UMUC3 cell growth inhibition,
cell cycle arrest,
apoptosis induction
inhibition the phosphorylation of Akt (Thr308 and Ser473) and its down-stream molecules including S6, PRAS40 and GSK-3α 2019 14
4-nitrophenol T24, HUC promote cellular proliferation, migration and invasion,
inhibit adhesion and apoptosis
Bax and E‐cadherin were decreased, N‐cadherin, vimentin, snail, and slug were increased. the expression levels of cancer‐promoting genes HIF‐1, IL‐1β, VEGFα and K‐Ras were enhanced, but p53, PTEN and BRCA were decreased 2019 113
Pioglitazone NUTE, J82 cell growth inhibition,
apoptosis induction
downregulate the protein levels of p53 and cyclin D1 2018 123
15d-PGJ2 T24, 5637 cell growth inhibition,
apoptosis induction,
sphere formation inhibiton
downregulate the expression of the stemness-related genes, Oct4 and Nanog. facilitate the generation of ROS 2014 78
Troglitazone T24 induces autophagy,
apoptosis,
necroptosis
increase the ratio of LC3-II and the phosphorylation of AMPKα. attenuate the phosphorylation of both mTOR and S6K1 2014 116
DIM-Cs UM-UC1, UM-UC3, UM-UC5, UM-UC6, UM-UC13, RT4、253JP, 253J-BV, KU7 inhibit cell growth and render the resistant cells sensitive to EGFR inhibition proximal promoters of PPARγ posses CEBP regulatory elements 2013 46
Beta-eleostearic acid (β-ESA) T24 apoptosis induction ROS-mediated pathway 2012 108
Ciglitazone RT4, T24 cell cycle arrest,
apoptosis induction
overexpression of p53, p21waf1/CIP1 and p27Kip1. decrease of cyclin B1. increase membrane-bound TRAIL 2011 114
Rosiglitazone, Troglitazone RT4, T24 cell cycle arrest,
apoptosis induction
upregulation of soluble and/or membrane-bound TRAIL. increased cell surface death receptor 5 expression. downregulation of c-FLIP and survivin 2010 115
Telmisartan T24, Caki-1 cell growth inhibition,
apoptosis induction
induce DNA fragmentation 2010 109
Troglitazone,
15d-PGJ2
T24 apoptosis induction vascular endothelial cell growth factor, mutated p53 2009 110
1,1-bis(3-indolyl)-1-(p-substitutedphenyl) methanes (DIM-Cs) KU7, 253J-BV cell growth Inhibition induced caveolin-1 and p21 expression 2006 111
