Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha Target Genes
TLDR
An overview of the involvement of PPARα in lipid metabolism and other pathways through a detailed analysis of the different known or putative PPAR α target genes is presented.Abstract:
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of a variety of processes, ranging from inflammation and immunity to nutrient metabolism and energy homeostasis. PPARα serves as a molecular target for hypolipidemic fibrates drugs which bind the receptor with high affinity. Furthermore, PPARα binds and is activated by numerous fatty acids and fatty acid-derived compounds. PPARα governs biological processes by altering the expression of a large number of target genes. Accordingly, the specific role of PPARα is directly related to the biological function of its target genes. Here, we present an overview of the involvement of PPARα in lipid metabolism and other pathways through a detailed analysis of the different known or putative PPARα target genes. The emphasis is on gene regulation by PPARα in liver although many of the results likely apply to other organs and tissues as well.read more

TL;DR: Gemfibrozil therapy resulted in a significant reduction in the risk of major cardiovascular events in patients with coronary disease whose primary lipid abnormality was a low HDL cholesterol level, suggesting that the rate of coronary events is reduced by raising HDL cholesterol levels and lowering levels of triglycerides without lowering LDL cholesterol levels.

TL;DR: This work has shown that direct expression of PPAR mRNAs in the absence of a specific carrier gene results in down-regulation in the activity of other PPARs, and these properties are consistent with those of a “spatially aggregating substance”.
