PPARγ Ligand Inhibits Osteopontin Gene Expression Through Interference With Binding of Nuclear Factors to A/T-Rich Sequence in THP-1 Cells
22 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily that acts as a key player in adipocyte differentiation, glucose metabolism, and macrophage differentiation. Osteopontin (OPN), a component of extracellular matrix, is elevated during neointimal formation in the vessel wall and is synthesized by macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques. In the present study,...
