The orphan nuclear receptors (ONRs), retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γ-1 (RORγ1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ-2 (PPARγ2), are central mediators controlling adipocyte (AD) differentiation. Through their distinct tissue distribution and specific target gene activation, ONRs control diverse aspects of fatty acid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Adding further complexity, obesity begets resistance to insulin signals and can ultimately result in diabetes. In this study, we investigate whether there are differences in the RORγ1 and PPARγ2 expression in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) from morbid obesity (MO) individuals either insulin resistant (high-IR MO) or insulin sensitivity (low-IR MO). Our results indicate for the first time in human the RORγ1 mRNA and protein expression levels and activation with coactivator, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1-α (PGC-1α) were higher in the VAT from high-IR MO. In contrast, PPARγ2 expression and activation were higher in the VAT from low-IR MO. In this way, we have also found a positive association between RORγ1 mRNA and protein expression with many components of metabolic syndrome, with a strong dependence of insulin and HOMA(IR) index in VAT, but not in SAT. Our data suggest that RORγ1 may be added to the growing list of nuclear receptors in adipose tissue use to modulate the insulin resistance associated to the obesity. Measurement of RORγ1 and PPARγ2 in adipose tissue might be useful for evaluating the outcomes of various clinical interventions for obesity-related diabetes type II. 相似文献

Structure–activity relationships (SAR) of analogues of lead compound 1 were investigated and compound 16 was selected for further study in animal models of pain. Compound 16 was shown to be a potent antihyperalgesic agent in both the rat acute complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) model of inflammatory pain [Iadarola, M. J.; Douglass, J.; Civelli, O.; Naranjo, J. R. rain Res. 1988, 455, 205] and the knee joint model of chronic inflammatory pain [Wilson, A. W.; Medhurst, S. J.; Dixon, C. I.; Bontoft, N. C.; Winyard, L. A.; Brackenborough, K. T.; De Alba, J.; Clarke, C. J.; Gunthorpe, M. J.; Hicks, G. A.; Bountra, C.; McQueen, D. S.; Chessell, I. P. Eur. J. Pain 2006, 10, 537]. 相似文献

Aberrant expression of Liver X receptor α (LXRα) has been frequently reported in various types of cancers excluding gastric cancer (GC). Moreover, the role of LXRα in human GC has not been previously reported. In this study, we investigated the effect of LXRα down-regulation on invasion and EMT of GC. The expression of LXRα in GC cell lines was detected by real-time PCR. The LXRα siRNA was transiently transfected into GC cells using Lipofectamine? 2000 reagent. Subsequently, cell invasive ability was evaluated by Transwell assays. Western blot and real-time PCR were used to determined the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 (MMP-2 and -9), E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, Slug, and Twist in GC cells. In addition, the effect of LXRα down-regulation on the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathway was explored by Western blot. From our results, we found that the expression of LXRα was significantly increased in GC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of LXRα suppressed the invasive ability of GC cells. The levels of MMP-2 and -9 were dramatically decreased by down-regulating LXRα. In addition, we found a decrease of N-cadherin, Twist, and Slug expressions and an increase of E-cadherin expression, but no influence on the expression levels of Vimentin and Snail. We also found that LXRα down-regulation might suppress the phosphorylation of Akt, NF-κB, and IκB. Collectively, our results indicated that down-regulation of LXRα was shown to suppress invasion and EMT of GC cells by decreasing the expressions of related proteins through inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway. 相似文献

Synthesis and structure–activity relationship studies of a series of 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives led to the identification of (1R,2S)-17, N-[(1R,2S)-2-({2-[(4-chlorophenyl)carbonyl]amino-6-methylquinazolin-4-yl}amino)cyclohexyl]guanidine dihydrochloride, as a highly potent ORL1 antagonist with up to 3000-fold selectivity over the μ, δ, and κ opioid receptors. Molecular modeling clarified the structural factors contributing to the high affinity and selectivity of (1R,2S)-17. 相似文献
