The global perspective on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in ectopic fat deposition: A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127042. [PMID: 37742894 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
Excessive expansion of adipocytes can have unhealthy consequences as excess free fatty acids enter other tissues and cause ectopic fat deposition by resynthesizing triglycerides. This lipid accumulation in various tissues is harmful and can increase the risk of related metabolic diseases such as type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and insulin resistance. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily that play a key role in energy metabolism as fatty acid metabolism sensors, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is the main subtype responsible for fat cell differentiation and adipogenesis. In this paper, we introduce the main structure and function of PPARγ and its regulatory role in the process of lipogenesis in the liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, and pancreas. This information can serve as a reference for further understanding the regulatory mechanisms and measures of the PPAR family in the process of ectopic fat deposition.

Abstract
PURPOSE The incidence of acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) shows circadian variation typically peaking during morning hours with a decline at night. However, this variation does not occur in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The night's decline of AMI may be partially explained by melatonin-related platelet inhibition. Whether this effect is absent in diabetic patients is unknown. The aim was to study the effect of melatonin on in-vitro platelet aggregation in healthy individuals and patients with type 2 DM. METHODS Platelet aggregation was measured in blood samples from healthy individuals (n = 15) and type 2 DM patients (n = 15) using multiple electrode aggregometry. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), arachidonic acid (ASPI) and thrombin (TRAP) were used as agonists. Aggregability for each subject was tested after adding melatonin in two concentrations. RESULTS In healthy individuals, melatonin inhibited platelet aggregation in both higher (10-5 M) and lower concentrations (10-9 M) induced by ADP, ASPI, and TRAP (p < 0.001, p = 0.002, p = 0.029, respectively). In DM patients, melatonin did not affect platelet aggregation in both concentrations induced by ADP, ASPI, and TRAP. Melatonin decreased platelet aggregation induced by ADP, ASPI, and TRAP significantly more in healthy individuals compared to patients with DM. (p = 0.005, p = 0.045 and p = 0.048, respectively). CONCLUSION Platelet aggregation was inhibited by melatonin in healthy individuals. In-vitro antiplatelet effect of melatonin in type 2 DM patients is significantly attenuated.

Omega-6 DPA and its 12-lipoxygenase-oxidized lipids regulate platelet reactivity in a nongenomic PPARα-dependent manner. Blood Adv 2021; 4:4522-4537.

Abstract
Arterial thrombosis is the underlying cause for a number of cardiovascular-related events. Although dietary supplementation that includes polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has been proposed to elicit cardiovascular protection, a mechanism for antithrombotic protection has not been well established. The current study sought to investigate whether an omega-6 essential fatty acid, docosapentaenoic acid (DPAn-6), and its oxidized lipid metabolites (oxylipins) provide direct cardiovascular protection through inhibition of platelet reactivity. Human and mouse blood and isolated platelets were treated with DPAn-6 and its 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX)-derived oxylipins, 11-hydroxy-docosapentaenoic acid and 14-hydroxy-docosapentaenoic acid, to assess their ability to inhibit platelet activation. Pharmacological and genetic approaches were used to elucidate a role for DPA and its oxylipins in preventing platelet activation. DPAn-6 was found to be significantly increased in platelets following fatty acid supplementation, and it potently inhibited platelet activation through its 12-LOX-derived oxylipins. The inhibitory effects were selectively reversed through inhibition of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-α (PPARα). PPARα binding was confirmed using a PPARα transcription reporter assay, as well as PPARα-/- mice. These approaches confirmed that selectivity of platelet inhibition was due to effects of DPA oxylipins acting through PPARα. Mice administered DPAn-6 or its oxylipins exhibited reduced thrombus formation following vessel injury, which was prevented in PPARα-/- mice. Hence, the current study demonstrates that DPAn-6 and its oxylipins potently and effectively inhibit platelet activation and thrombosis following a vascular injury. Platelet function is regulated, in part, through an oxylipin-induced PPARα-dependent manner, suggesting that targeting PPARα may represent an alternative strategy to treat thrombotic-related diseases.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized in water, using conventional heating and microwave irradiation, new thio-derivatives of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, a naturally occurring pigment known as lawsone or hennotannic acid, thus improving their antiplatelet activity with relevance to their potential future use in thrombus formation treatment. The structure-activity relationship showed that the thiophenyl moiety enhances the antiplatelet activity. Moreover, the position and nature of the substituent at the phenyl ring have a key effect on the observed biological activity. Compound 4 (2-((4-bromophenyl)thio)-3-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione) was the most active derivative, presenting IC50 values for platelet aggregation inhibition of 15.03 ± 1.52 μM for TRAP-6, and 5.58 ± 1.01 μM for collagen. Importantly, no cytotoxicity was observed. Finally, we discussed the structure-activity relationships of these new lawsone thio-derivatives on inhibition of TRAP-6- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation.

Abstract
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a powerful nuclear transcription factor that coordinates an antioxidant cytoprotector system complex stimulated by the increase in inoxidative stress (OS). In the present manuscript, we conduct a review on the evidence that shows the effect different modalities of physical exercise exert on the antioxidant metabolic response directed by Nrf2. During physical exercise, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increased; therefore, if the endogenous and exogenous antioxidant defenses are unable to control the elevation of ROS, the resulting OS triggers the activation of the transcriptional factor Nrf2 to induce the antioxidant response. On a molecular basis related to physical exercise, hormesis maintenance (exercise preconditioning) and adaptative changes in training are supported by a growing body of evidence, which is important for detailing the health benefits that involve greater resistance to environmental aggressions, better tolerance to constant changes, and increasing the regenerative capacity of the cells in such a way that it may be used as a tool to support the prevention or treatment of diseases. This may have clinical implications for future investigations regarding physical exercise in terms of understanding adaptations in high-performance athletes but also as a therapeutic model in several diseases.

Abstract
PPARγ is an isoform of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) belonging to a super family of nuclear receptors and is a primary target of the effective drug to treat the type II diabetes. The experiments found that Lyso-phosphatidylcholines (LPC) could bind to PPARγ, but the binding modes remain unknown. We used the Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulations to study the binding of four LPC ligands (LPC16:0, LPC18:0, LPC18:1-1 and LPC18:1-2) to PPARγ. The two-step MD simulations were employed to determine the final binding modes. The 20 ns MD simulations for four final LPC-PPARγ complexes were performed to analyze their structures, the binding key residues, and agonism activities. The results reveal that three LPC ligands (LPC16:0, LPC18:0 and LPC18:1-1) bind to Arm II and III regions of the Ligand Binding Domain (LBD) pocket, whereas they do not interact with Tyr473 of Helix 12 (H12). In contrast, LPC18:1-2 can form the hydrogen bonds with Tyr473 and bind into Arm I and II regions. Comparing with the paradigm systems of the full agonist (Rosiglitazone-PPARγ) and the partial agonist (MRL24-PPARγ), our results indicate that LPC16:0, LPC18:0 and LPC18:1-1 could be the potential partial agonists and LPC18:1-2 could be a full agonist. The in-depth analysis of the residue fluctuations and structure alignment confirm the present prediction of the LPC agonism activities.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Hypertension is one of the silent killers in the world with high mortality and morbidity. The exposure of humans and animals to fluoride and/or fluoride containing compounds is almost inevitable. This study investigated the modulatory effects of quercetin on sodium fluoride (NaF)-induced hypertension and cardiovascular complications. Forty male rats were randomly separated into four groups (n =10). Group A animals served as the control, rats in Group B were exposed to 300 ppm of NaF, Groups C and D animals were exposed to 300 ppm of NaF along with quercetin orally at 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg orally by gavage, while NaF was administered in drinking water, respectively, for a week. Administration of NaF caused severe hypertension as indicated with significant increases in the systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure, together with prolonged ventricular depolarization (QRS) and the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle (QT) intervals when compared with controls. NaF significantly decreased the activities of antioxidant enzymes, caused increase in markers of oxidative stress and renal damage when compared with controls. Immunohistochemical staining revealed lower expressions of Hsp70, ERK, and PPARγ in the heart, kidney, and aorta of rats-administered NaF relative to the controls. Together, quercetin co-treatment with NaF restored blood pressure, normalized QRS interval, and improved antioxidant defense system. © 2018 BioFactors, 44(5):465-479, 2018.

Abstract
Two-pore domain (K2P) channels are twofold symmetric K+ channels which control cell excitability by enabling the leak of potassium ions from cells in response to physicochemical stimuli. Crystallization of K2P channels revealed the presence of several structural features, which include an external cap. In the available crystallographic structures, the cap is present as non-domain-swapped (NDS) and domain-swapped (DS) chain conformations, where DS chain conformation exchanges two opposing outer helices 180° around the channel. In this work, energy differences between the residues located at the highest point of the cap in NDS and DS conformations were evaluated for TRAAK, a K2P channel that was crystallized in both conformations. Results indicated a preference for DS conformation, but this result is not extensible to TASK K2P channels. In the available crystallographic structures of K2P channels, the cap is present as non-domain-swapped (NDS) and domain-swapped (DS) chain conformations.![]()
