Structural highlights
DiseasePPARG_HUMAN Note=Defects in PPARG can lead to type 2 insulin-resistant diabetes and hyptertension. PPARG mutations may be associated with colon cancer. Defects in PPARG may be associated with susceptibility to obesity (OBESITY) [MIM:601665. It is a condition characterized by an increase of body weight beyond the limitation of skeletal and physical requirements, as the result of excessive accumulation of body fat.[1] Defects in PPARG are the cause of familial partial lipodystrophy type 3 (FPLD3) [MIM:604367. Familial partial lipodystrophies (FPLD) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by marked loss of subcutaneous (sc) fat from the extremities. Affected individuals show an increased preponderance of insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia.[2] [3] Genetic variations in PPARG can be associated with susceptibility to glioma type 1 (GLM1) [MIM:137800. Gliomas are central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells and comprise astrocytomas, glioblastoma multiforme, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas. Note=Polymorphic PPARG alleles have been found to be significantly over-represented among a cohort of American patients with sporadic glioblastoma multiforme suggesting a possible contribution to disease susceptibility. FunctionPPARG_HUMAN Receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Once activated by a ligand, the receptor binds to a promoter element in the gene for acyl-CoA oxidase and activates its transcription. It therefore controls the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Key regulator of adipocyte differentiation and glucose homeostasis. Acts as a critical regulator of gut homeostasis by suppressing NF-kappa-B-mediated proinflammatory responses.[4] [5] [6] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a constellation of cardiovascular and metabolic symptoms involving insulin resistance, steatohepatitis, obesity, hypertension, and heart disease, and patients suffering from MetS often require polypharmaceutical treatment. PPARgamma agonists are highly effective oral antidiabetics with great potential in MetS, which promote adipocyte browning and insulin sensitization. However, the application of PPARgamma agonists in clinics is restricted by potential cardiovascular adverse events. We have previously demonstrated that the racemic dual sEH/PPARgamma modulator RB394 (3) simultaneously improves all risk factors of MetS in vivo. In this study, we identify and characterize the eutomer of 3. We provide structural rationale for molecular recognition of the eutomer. Furthermore, we could show that the dual sEH/PPARgamma modulator is able to promote adipocyte browning and simultaneously exhibits cardioprotective activity which underlines its exciting potential in treatment of MetS.
