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 PubMedIn search for effective multi-targeting drug ligands (MTDLs) to address low-grade inflammatory changes of metabolic disorders, we rationally designed some novel glitazones-like compounds. This was achieved by incorporating prominent pharmacophoric motifs from previously reported COX-2, 15-LOX and PPARgamma ligands. Challenging our design with pre-synthetic docking experiments on PPARgamma showed encouraging results. In vitro tests have identified 4 compounds as simultaneous partial PPARgamma agonist, potent COX-2 antagonist (nanomolar IC50 values) and moderate 15-LOX inhibitor (micromolar IC50 values). We envisioned such outcome as a prototypical balanced modulation of the 3 inflammatory targets. In vitro glucose uptake assay defined six compounds as insulin-sensitive and the other two as insulin-independent glucose uptake enhancers. Also, they were able to induce PPARgamma nuclear translocation in immunohistochemical analysis. Their anti-inflammatory potential has been translated to effective inhibition of monocyte to macrophage differentiation, suppression of LPS-induced inflammatory cytokine production in macrophages, as well as significant in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. Ligand co-crystallized PPARgamma X-ray of one of MTDLs has identified new clues that could serve as structural basis for its partial agonism. Docking of the most active compounds into COX-2 and 15-LOX active sites, pinpointed favorable binding patterns, similar to those of the co-crystallized ligands. Finally, in silico assessment of pharmacokinetics, physicochemical properties, drug-likeness and ligand efficiency indices was performed. Hence, we anticipate that the prominent biological profile of such series will rationalize relevant anti-inflammatory drug development endeavors.
