Applications

The PPARA gene encodes the nuclear receptor protein known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α), which functions as a transcription factor in humans. It was the original member of the PPAR family and was shown to be the nuclear receptor for a broad range of hepatocarcinogens in rodents that cause peroxisomes to proliferate. One of the main transcription factors controlling lipid metabolism in the liver is PPAR-α, which is activated by free fatty acids. Energy deprivation triggers the activation of PPAR-alpha, which is essential for the process of ketogenesis, a crucial adaptive response to extended fasting. By upregulating genes involved in fatty acid transport, fatty acid binding and activation, peroxisomal and other membrane transport, and fatty acid catabolism, PPAR-alpha activation, and peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation. The customized PPARA stable cell line can be used in antibody discovery and development, potential drug candidate screening and signaling pathway researches.

Published Data

Fig.1 PPARα is down-regulated in human HCCs and cell lines.

In human HCC cell lines, PPARα mRNA expression is either down-regulated or silenced, whereas it is freely expressed in samples of normal liver tissue.

Research Highlights

Due to its aggressive nature and lack of effective treatment options, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality. Liver cancer is among the many tumors whose pathophysiology has been linked to microRNAs.
