A prostaglandin J2 metabolite binds peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ and promotes adipocyte differentiation

Abstract: Prostaglandins (PGs) of the J2 series form in vivo and exert effects on a variety of biological processes. While most of PGs mediate their effects through G protein-coupled receptors, the mechanism of action for the J2 series of PGs remains unclear. Here, we report the PGJ2 and its derivatives are efficacious activators of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors alpha and gamma (PPAR alpha and PPAR gamma, respectively), orphan nuclear receptors implicated in lipid homeostasis and adipocyte differentiation.… Show more

“…23 These receptors are activated by free fatty acids and their oxidation products as well as by some prostaglandins derived from fatty acids that induce the differentiation of preadipocytes into adipocytic cells. [24][25][26][27] AA, which is a precursor for prostaglandins of the -2-family, has specifically been implicated in adipocyte differentiation. 23 With ageing there is a decrease in osteoprogenitor cells with an accompanying increase in adipocytes in bone marrow.…”

“…These include modified fatty acids, members of the prostanoid family, in particular 15-deoxy-D 12,14 -prostaglandin J 2 (15d-PGJ 2 ) and linoleic acid derivatives [12,13], and insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinedione compounds such as BRL-49653 (rosiglitazone), pioglitazone, and troglitazone [14][15][16].…”

“…7 Natural polyunsaturated fatty acids can activate PPAR-γ , and 15-deoxy-᭝ 12,14 -prostaglandin J 2 (15d-PGJ 2 ), a metabolite of PGD 2 , is the most specific natural agonist for PPAR-γ . 8,9 Adhesion of white blood cells to vascular endothelial cells is an important event in the early stage of immunological and inflammatory responses; 10,11 and proinflammatory cytokines are known to stimulate the endothelium to express adhesion molecules such as vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin. 12 CX3CL1/fractalkine is a chemokine with the N-terminal chemokine domain containing a unique CX3C motif.…”
