116 9168928 Chromosomal localization and partial genomic structure of the human peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma (hPPAR gamma) gene.
117 9168928 We determined the chromosomal localization and partial genomic structure of the coding region of the human PPAR gamma gene (hPPAR gamma), a nuclear receptor important for adipocyte differentiation and function.
118 9168928 Sequence analysis and long PCR of human genomic DNA with primers that span putative introns revealed that intron positions and sizes of hPPAR gamma are similar to those previously determined for the mouse PPAR gamma gene[13].
119 9168928 These sequences of the intron/exon junctions of the 6 coding exons shared by hPPAR gamma 1 and hPPAR gamma 2 will facilitate screening for possible mutations.

121 9231657 In addition, thiazolidinediones improve insulin resistance in vivo by activating PPAR gamma.
122 9231657 Using a quantitative and sensitive reverse transcription (RT)-competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, we determined the distribution and relative mRNA expression of the four PPARs (alpha,beta, gamma1, and gamma2) and liver X receptor-alpha (LXR alpha) in the main tissues implicated in lipid metabolism.
123 9231657 PPAR alpha and LXR alpha were mainly expressed in liver, while PPAR gamma1 predominated in adipose tissue and large intestine.
124 9231657 We found that PPAR gamma2 mRNA was a minor isoform, even in adipose tissue, thus causing question of its role in humans.
125 9231657 PPAR beta mRNA was present in all the tissues tested at low levels.
126 9231657 In addition, PPAR gamma mRNA was barely detectable in skeletal muscle, suggesting that improvement of insulin resistance with thiazolidinediones may not result from a direct effect of these agents on PPAR gamma in muscle.

135 9353361 In recombinant GABAA receptors composed of alpha-5 beta-3 gamma-2 subunits, the Kd of [3H]RY 80 (approximately 0.5 nM) was consistent with the value obtained in hippocampus, whereas the Bmax value was not significantly different from that obtained with [3H]flunitrazepam.
136 9353361 The potencies of several benzodiazepine site ligands to inhibit [3H]RY 80 binding to hippocampal membranes were in agreement with the values obtained in recombinant (alpha-5 beta-3 gamma-2) GABAA receptors. [3H]RY 80 was used both in a "GABA shift" assay to correctly predict the in vivo actions of a novel, alpha-5-selective ligand and to characterize a population of GABAA receptors containing alpha-5 subunits in neonatal rat cortex.
137 9353361 In recombinant GABAA receptors composed of alpha-5 beta-3 gamma-2 subunits, the Kd of [3H]RY 80 (approximately 0.5 nM) was consistent with the value obtained in hippocampus, whereas the Bmax value was not significantly different from that obtained with [3H]flunitrazepam.

174 9568706 BRL 49653 blocks the lipolytic actions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha: a potential new insulin-sensitizing mechanism for thiazolidinediones.
175 9568706 Adipocyte production of TNF-alpha is proposed to play a role in the development of insulin resistance, and because BRL 49653 has been shown to antagonize some of the effects of TNF-alpha, we examined the effects of TNF-alpha and BRL 49653 on adipocyte lipolysis.
176 9568706 Prolonged treatment (5 days) with either BRL 49653 or another PPAR-gamma2 agonist, 15-d delta-12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15-d deltaPGJ2), blocked TNF-alpha-induced glycerol release by approximately 100%.

178 9806549 The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) is a transcription factor that has a pivotal role in adipocyte differentiation and expression of adipocyte-specific genes.
179 9806549 Insulin stimulates the ligand-independent activation of PPARgamma1 and gamma2 (ref. 5), however, obesity and nutritional factors only influence the expression of PPARgamma2 in human adipocytes.
180 10102684 Insulin acutely regulates the expression of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma in human adipocytes.
181 10102684 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma is one of the key actors of adipocyte differentiation.
182 10102684 This study demonstrates 1) that PPAR-gamma mRNA expression is not altered in subcutaneous adipose tissue (n = 44) or in skeletal muscle (n = 19) of subjects spanning a wide range of BMIs (20-53 kg/m2) and 2) that insulin acutely increases PPAR-gamma mRNA expression in human adipocytes both in vivo and in vitro.
183 10102684 Insulin significantly increased PPAR-gamma mRNA levels in lean subjects (88 +/- 17%, n = 6), in type 2 diabetic patients (100 +/- 19%, n = 6), and in nondiabetic obese patients (91 +/- 20%, n = 6).
184 10102684 Both PPAR-gamma1 and PPAR-gamma2 mRNA variants were increased (P < 0.05) after insulin infusion.
185 10102684 In isolated human adipocytes, insulin induced the two PPAR-gamma mRNAs in a dose-dependent manner, with half-maximal stimulation at a concentration of approximately 1-5 nmol/l.
186 10102684 However, PPAR-gamma2 mRNA was rapidly (2 h) and transiently increased, whereas a slow and more progressive induction of PPAR-gamma1 was observed during the 6 h of incubation.
187 10102684 These data demonstrate that PPAR-gamma belongs to the list of the insulin-regulated genes and that obesity and type 2 diabetes are not associated with alteration in the expression of this nuclear receptor in adipose tissue.

196 10334300 Altered energy balance causes selective changes in melanocortin-4(MC4-R), but not melanocortin-3 (MC3-R), receptors in specific hypothalamic regions: further evidence that activation of MC4-R is a physiological inhibitor of feeding.
197 10334300 We have examined the effects of underfeeding and obesity on the density of hypothalamic melanocortin MC3 and MC4 receptors (MC3-R and MC4-R, respectively), which may mediate the hypophagic effects of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) in the rat.
198 10334300 MC3-R and MC4-R were measured by quantitative autoradiography in brain sections using 125I-labeled Nle4-D-Phe7-alpha-MSH (125I-NDP-MSH) and discriminated by masking MC3-R with excess unlabelled gamma2-MSH.
199 10334300 We suggest that increased density of MC4-R with food restriction and in obese Zucker rats reflects receptor upregulation secondary to decreased release of alpha-MSH, consistent with increased hunger in these models.
200 10334300 Conversely, downregulation of MC4-R in diet-induced obesity may indicate increased alpha-MSH secretion in an attempt to limit overeating.
201 10334300 This alpha-MSH/MC4-R system may be inhibited by leptin and/or insulin.

208 10405788 Hypertension and insulin resistance: role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma.
209 10405788 Recently, a new class of antidiabetic agents, thiazolidinediones (TZD) has been developed and has been shown to improve insulin resistance by binding and activating a nuclear receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma. 3. cDNA of rat PPAR gamma 1 and gamma 2 were cloned and gene regulation of PPAR gamma in rat mature adipocytes was examined.
210 10405788 Hydrogen peroxide, an oxygen radical, which is recognized to be the common intracellular signal for multiple risk factors, potently down-regulated PPAR gamma mRNA expression in rat mature adipocytes. 4.
211 10405788 Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, which is considered to play a role in obesity-induced non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and to augment oxidative stress, also suppressed PPAR gamma expression. 5.
212 10405788 Thiazolidinediones dose-dependently recovered TNF-alpha-induced down-regulation of PPAR gamma mRNA expression. 6.
213 10405788 The modulation of PPAR gamma expression by TZD can be one mechanism for the improvement of insulin resistance by TZD. 7.

216 10520409 Drugs from the thiazolidinedione class act by enhancing the sensitivity to insulin of adipose tissue; they are high-affinity ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (PPAR gamma 2 being the predominant form expressed in adipocytes) Hepatotoxicity and weight gain are sides effects of thiazolidinedione.
217 10668912 The role of TNF-alpha in human adipose tissue: prevention of weight gain at the expense of insulin resistance?
218 10668912 This antiadipogenic property is accompanied by suppression of developmental and metabolic markers of fat cell differentiation, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma2, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) and GLUT4.
219 10702770 Impact of the Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor gamma2 Pro12Ala polymorphism on adiposity, lipids and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
220 10777704 The Pro12Ala polymorphism in PPAR gamma2 may confer resistance to type 2 diabetes.
221 10777704 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) has been implicated in adipocyte differentiation.
222 10777704 Recently it was reported that heterozygous deficiency of PPARgamma led to the protection from high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance in an animal model.
223 10777704 Since this amino acid substitution may cause a reduction in the transcriptional activity of PPARgamma, this polymorphism may be associated with decreased insulin resistance and decreased risk of type 2 diabetes.

231 10868951 Using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis, the mRNA expression of fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36, PPAR-gamma2, leptin, uncoupling protein (UCP)-2 and UCP-3, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha was investigated in gluteal subcutaneous fat biopsies before and after 5 h infusions of saline or Intralipid (Pharmacia and Upjohn, Milan, Italy) plus heparin, which does not modify insulinemia.
232 10868951 Marked increases in FAT/CD36 (724+/-18%; P < 0.05), PPAR-gamma2 (200+/-8%; P < 0.05), leptin (110+/-13%; P < 0.05), UCP-2 (120+/-7%; P < 0.05), UCP-3 (80+/-5%; P < 0.05), and TNF-alpha mRNA (130+/-12%; P < 0.05) were observed in comparison with pretreatment levels, whereas there was no change after saline infusion.

246 10873398 The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 Pro12Ala mutation is associated with early onset extreme obesity and reduced fasting glucose.
247 10873398 We screened the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma 2 (PPAR gamma 2) for sequence variants in 165 unrelated obese (BMI >/= 30 kg/m(2)) Caucasian women, and 49 normal weight Caucasian female controls (BMI < 27 kg/m(2)).

250 10875261 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) inhibits fat cell differentiation and may also mediate insulin resistance in adipocytes.
251 10875261 We therefore studied the effect of receptor-specific TNF muteins on adipose differentiation and insulin-stimulated glucose transport of in vitro differentiated human adipocytes in primary culture.
252 10875261 Adipocyte precursor cells exposed to the 60-kDa TNF receptor (p60-TNFR)-specific TNF(R32W-S86T) showed a marked decrease in the percentage of differentiating cells in response to adipogenic factors as well as a reduction in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 (PPARgamma2) messenger RNA (mRNA) and glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity, but increased endogenous TNF mRNA expression.
253 10875261 We conclude that p60-TNFR mediates the antiadipogenic effect as well as the down-regulation of GLUT4 by TNF, thereby leading to long-term inhibition of insulin-stimulated glucose transport.

292 11334412 Pioglitazone ameliorates tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced insulin resistance by a mechanism independent of adipogenic activity of peroxisome proliferator--activated receptor-gamma.
293 11334412 Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is one of the candidate mediators of insulin resistance associated with obesity, a major risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes.
294 11334412 The insulin resistance induced by TNF-alpha is antagonized by thiazolidinediones (TZDs), a new class of insulin-sensitizing drugs.
295 11334412 The aim of the current study was to dissect the mechanism whereby pioglitazone, one of the TZDs, ameliorates TNF-alpha-induced insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
296 11334412 Pioglitazone restored insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose (DOG) uptake, which was reduced by TNF-alpha, with concomitant restorations in tyrosine phosphorylation and protein levels of insulin receptor (IR) and insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, as well as association of the p85 regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase with IRS-1 and PI 3-kinase activity.
297 11334412 Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of either wild-type human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma2 or a mutant carrying a replacement at the consensus mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation site (hPPAR-gamma2-S112A) promoted adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts and restored TNF-alpha-induced decrease of triglyceride in adipocytes as effectively as pioglitazone.
298 11334412 Overexpression of the PPAR-gamma proteins in TNF-alpha-treated adipocytes restored protein levels of IR/IRS-1, but did not improve insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of IR/IRS-1 or insulin-stimulated 2-DOG uptake.
299 11334412 These results indicate that the ability of pioglitazone to restore insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of IR/IRS-1, which is necessary for amelioration of TNF-alpha-induced insulin resistance, may be independent of the adipogenic activity of PPAR-gamma that regulates protein levels of IR/IRS-1.

334 11862322 In conclusion, the Arg972 (IRS-1) background produced a marked difference in insulin sensitivity between X/Ala and Pro/Pro (PPARgamma) which was not present in the whole population or against the Gly972 (IRS-1) background.

564 12829631 Quantification of the expression of PPAR-gamma(1) and PPAR-gamma(2) in samples of VAT and SAT was performed by real-time RT-PCR.
565 12829631 In both SAT and VAT, the level of expression of PPAR-gamma(2) were >20-fold that of PPAR-gamma(1) (P < 0.001 for both).
566 12829631 However, only PPAR-gamma(1) was differentially expressed, its levels in SAT being 216 +/- 34% those in VAT (P < 0.001).

586 12869692 Insulin-induced gene 1 (insig-1) mRNA rose progressively with a high-fat diet and declined on a restricted diet.
587 12869692 Because insig-1 binds sterol regulatory element-binding protein cleavage-activating protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, thereby blocking proteolytic processing required for sterol regulatory element-binding protein activation, we tested its influence on lipogenesis.
588 12869692 In differentiating 3T3-L1 cells, insig-1 and -2 rose in parallel with aP2 mRNA during differentiation.
589 12869692 Transfection of mouse or human insig-1 into 3T3-L1 preadipocytes completely prevented oil red O staining and blocked upregulation of aP2, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2, and carbohydrate response element-binding protein, while reducing down-regulation of preadipocyte factor 1.
590 12882915 Our results demonstrate that direct, in vivo administration of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (1,000 units), interleukin-1beta (1,000 units), and interferon-gamma (2,000 units) into the rat pancreas through a bile duct cannula leads to the formation of lipid-derived free radicals in this tissue.
591 12882915 Inhibition of the enzyme inducible cyclooxygenase (COX-2) and the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) significantly diminished the free radicals' signal intensity, implicating these factors in the formation of free radicals.

625 14500573 This compound improves insulin sensitivity through the activation of the nuclear receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma).
626 14500573 In addition to sensitizing cells to insulin, the PPAR-gamma2 isoform appears to be critical for the regulation of osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation from common mesenchymal bone marrow progenitors.
627 14500573 We have demonstrated previously that PPAR-gamma2 activated with rosiglitazone acts as a dominant inhibitor of osteoblastogenesis in murine bone marrow in vitro.
628 14500573 Changes in bone morphology and structure were accompanied by changes in the expression of osteoblast- and adipocyte-specific marker genes; the expression of the osteoblast-specific genes Runx2/Cbfa1, Dlx5, and alpha1(I)collagen were decreased, whereas the expression of the adipocyte-specific fatty acid binding protein aP2, was increased.
629 14500573 This compound improves insulin sensitivity through the activation of the nuclear receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma).
630 14500573 In addition to sensitizing cells to insulin, the PPAR-gamma2 isoform appears to be critical for the regulation of osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation from common mesenchymal bone marrow progenitors.
631 14500573 We have demonstrated previously that PPAR-gamma2 activated with rosiglitazone acts as a dominant inhibitor of osteoblastogenesis in murine bone marrow in vitro.

633 14532170 Acute or chronic activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) increases insulin sensitivity.
634 14532170 Conversely, reduced expression and/or function of AMPK might play a role in insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.
635 14532170 Thus protein expression of the seven subunit isoforms of AMPK and activities and/or phosphorylation of AMPK and acetyl-CoA carboxylase-beta (ACCbeta) was measured in skeletal muscle from obese type 2 diabetic and well-matched control subjects during euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamps.
636 14532170 Protein expression of all AMPK subunit isoforms (alpha1, alpha2, beta1, beta2, gamma1, gamma2, and gamma3) in muscle of obese type 2 diabetic subjects was similar to that of control subjects.
637 14532170 In addition, alpha1- and alpha2-associated activities of AMPK, phosphorylation of alpha-AMPK subunits at Thr172, and phosphorylation of ACCbeta at Ser221 showed no difference between the two groups and were not regulated by physiological concentrations of insulin.
638 14532170 These data suggest that impaired insulin action on glycogen synthesis and lipid oxidation in skeletal muscle of obese type 2 diabetic subjects is unlikely to involve changes in AMPK expression and activity.
639 14625208 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a subgroup of the superfamily of nuclear receptors, with three distinct main types: alpha, beta and gamma (subdivided into gamma(1) and gamma(2)).
640 14625208 Whether other PPAR types can be found in human islets, how islet PPARgamma mRNA expression is regulated by the metabolic milieu, their role in insulin secretion, and the effects of a PPARgamma agonist are not known.
641 14625208 PPARbeta and, to a greater extent, total PPARgamma and PPARgamma(2) mRNAs were expressed in human islets, whereas PPARalpha mRNA was not detected.
642 14625208 Compared with human adipose tissue, PPARgamma mRNA was expressed at lower levels in the islets, and PPARbeta at similar levels.
643 14625208 The PPARgamma agonists rosiglitazone and 15-deoxy-Delta-(12,14)prostaglandin J(2) prevented the cytostatic effect of FFA as well as the FFA-induced changes of PPAR and insulin mRNA expression.
644 14625208 In conclusion, this study shows that PPARgamma mRNA is expressed in human pancreatic islets, with predominance of PPARgamma(2); exposure to FFA downregulates PPARgamma(2) and insulin mRNA expression and inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin secretion; exposure to PPARgamma agonists can prevent these effects.
645 14633865 The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2 (PPARgamma2) Pro12Ala polymorphism has been associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes and a lower albumin excretion rate (AER) in patients with established diabetes.
646 14669172 Pro12Ala polymorphism of the PPAR-gamma2 gene is related to increased levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) autoantibodies in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
647 14722619 However, their importance was underlined by findings that mutations in conserved residues within them cause a variety of human hereditary diseases, including (with the gene mutated in parentheses): Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (gamma 2 subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase); retinitis pigmentosa (IMP dehydrogenase-1); congenital myotonia, idiopathic generalized epilepsy, hypercalciuric nephrolithiasis, and classic Bartter syndrome (CLC chloride channel family members); and homocystinuria (cystathionine beta-synthase).
648 14722619 We now show that tandem pairs of CBS domains from AMP-activated protein kinase, IMP dehydrogenase-2, the chloride channel CLC2, and cystathionine beta-synthase bind AMP, ATP, or S-adenosyl methionine,while mutations that cause hereditary diseases impair this binding.

652 14988278 Analysis of the type 2 diabetes-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes IRS1, KCNJ11, and PPARG2 in type 1 diabetes.
653 14988278 We have genotyped three single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with type 2 diabetes in a large type 1 diabetic family collection of European descent: Gly972Arg in the insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) gene, Glu23Lys in the potassium inwardly-rectifying channel gene (KCNJ11), and Pro12Ala in the peroxisome proliferative-activated receptor gamma2 gene (PPARG2).
654 15142366 Leptin was not deficient, and sequencing of the proband's DNA showed no mutations in the perixisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma, PPAR-gamma(2), PPAR-alpha or melanocortin 4 receptor genes.
655 15161789 Changes in insulin sensitivity in response to troglitazone do not differ between subjects with and without the common, functional Pro12Ala peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 gene variant: results from the Troglitazone in Prevention of Diabetes (TRIPOD) study.
656 15181035 Seventy-two PCOS patients and 42 healthy controls were genotyped for 15 variants in the genes encoding for paraoxonase (three variants), plasma cell differentiation antigen glycoprotein, human sorbin and SH3 domain containing 1, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (two variants), adiponectin (two variants), IGF1, IGF2, IGF1 receptor, and IGF2 receptor.
657 15181035 Compared with controls, PCOS patients were more frequently homozygous for the -108T variant in paraoxonase (36.6% vs. 9.5%; P = 0.002) and homozygous for G alleles of the ApaI variant in IGF2 (62.9% vs. 38.1%; P = 0.018).
658 15181035 Paraoxonase is a serum antioxidant enzyme and, because -108T alleles result in decreased paraoxonase expression, this increase in oxidative stress might result in insulin resistance.
659 15181035 In conclusion, the paraoxonase -108 C-->T variant and the ApaI polymorphism in the IGF2 gene are associated with PCOS and might contribute to increased oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and hyperandrogenism in this prevalent disorder.

662 15225820 After culture with 20 ng/ml GM-CSF + 20 ng/ml IL-4 (8 days) followed by 1000 ng/ml LPS + 100 U/ml IFN-gamma (2 days), with or without 10(-8)M TX527, cells were counted and analyzed by FACS for MHC II, CD86, CD40 and CD54 expression within the CD11c(+) DC population.
663 15225820 On CD11c(+) DCs, MHC II, CD86 and CD54 were significantly down-regulated and CD40 was twofold upregulated.

673 15502399 Here, we demonstrated that cyclic stretch inhibited adipocyte differentiation of mouse 3T3-L1 cells, which was attributable to a reduced expression of adipogenic transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma(2) via the activation of an extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) pathway.
674 15528275 Insulin-induced gene-1 (Insig-1) and its homolog Insig-2 encode closely related proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum that block proteolytic activation of sterol regulatory element binding proteins, membrane-bound transcription factors that activate synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids in animal cells.
675 15528275 Herein, we identified a novel 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] response element in the promoter region of Insig-2 gene, which specifically binds to the heterodimer of retinoid X receptor and vitamin D receptor (VDR) and directs VDR-mediated transcriptional activation in a 1,25-(OH)2D3-dependent manner.
676 15528275 Interestingly, 1,25-(OH)2D3 is known to directly suppress the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2 protein and inhibits adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and murine bone marrow stromal cells.

686 15562023 Uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) regulates insulin secretion and may play an important role in linking obesity to type 2 diabetes (T2D).
687 15562023 We also tested for an effect of the P12A variant of the peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor-gamma 2 (PPAR gamma 2) gene on diabetes risk given by the UCP2 SNP.
688 15562023 After stratifying for the PPAR gamma 2 polymorphism, the increased risk conferred by the UCP2 G/G genotype was still evident among P12/P12 homozygous subjects (n = 801; OR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.04-1.83), but seemed to disappear among the X12/A12 subjects (i.e.

805 15905321 Decreased bone mass, osteoporosis, and increased fracture rates are common skeletal complications in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM; type I diabetes).
806 15905321 IDDM develops from little or no insulin production and is marked by elevated blood glucose levels and weight loss.
807 15905321 However, osteocalcin mRNA (a marker of late-stage osteoblast differentiation) and dynamic parameters of bone formation were decreased in diabetic tibias, whereas osteoblast number and runx2 and alkaline phosphatase mRNA levels did not differ.
808 15905321 This is supported by increased expression of adipocyte markers [peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2, resistin, and adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (alphaP2)] and the appearance of lipid-dense adipocytes in diabetic tibias.

826 16180511 Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) gamma is present in two isoforms generated by alternative splicing, PPAR gamma 1 and PPAR gamma 2.
827 16180511 A Pro12Ala polymorphism in human PPAR gamma 2 moderately reduces its transcriptional activity, and thus PPAR gamma 2 is thought to be a promising candidate gene for several human disorders, including obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

850 16670091 FOXO1 represses peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma1 and -gamma2 gene promoters in primary adipocytes.
851 16670091 FOXO1 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) are crucial transcription factors that regulate glucose metabolism and insulin responsiveness in insulin target tissues.
852 16670091 We have shown that, in primary rat adipocytes, both factors regulate transcription of the insulin-responsive GLUT4 gene and that PPARgamma2 detachment from the GLUT4 promoter upon thiazolidinedione binding up-regulates GLUT4 gene expression, thus increasing insulin sensitivity (Armoni, M., Kritz, N., Harel, C., Bar-Yoseph, F., Chen, H., Quon, M.
853 16670091 FOXO1 coexpression dose-dependently repressed transcription from either the PPARgamma 1 or PPARgamma2 promoter reporter by 65%, whereas insulin (100 nm, 20-24 h) either partially or completely reversed this effect.
854 16670091 We suggest a novel paradigm to increase insulin sensitivity in adipocytes in which FOXO1 repression of PPARgamma, the latter being a repressor of the GLUT4 promoter, consequently leads to GLUT4 derepression/up-regulation, thus enhancing cellular insulin sensitivity.

860 16804087 Furthermore, women carrying the C allele of rs6902123 of PPARD and the Pro12Pro genotype of the PPAR-gamma2 gene (PPARG2) had a 3.9-fold (95% CI 1.79-8.63; P = 0.001)-higher risk for diabetes than women with protective genotypes.

895 17098861 Here, we show that the oncogenic steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3) is a critical regulator of white adipocyte development.
896 17098861 Indeed, in SRC-3(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts, adipocyte differentiation was severely impaired, and reexpression of SRC-3 was able to restore it.
897 17098861 The early stages of adipocyte differentiation are accompanied by an increase in nuclear levels of SRC-3, which accumulates to high levels specifically in the nucleus of differentiated fat cells.
898 17098861 Moreover, SRC-3(-/-) animals showed reduced body weight and adipose tissue mass with a significant decrease of the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2 (PPARgamma2), a master gene required for adipogenesis.

965 19196804 These skeletal alterations were associated with decreased gene expression (by real-time PCR) of Runx2, osterix, osteocalcin, PTHrP, the PTH type 1 receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors, and osteoprotegerin to receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand mRNA ratio, and increased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 mRNA levels.
966 19239414 The tumour suppressor LKB1 is the major regulator of AMPK activity, but additional upstream kinases and protein phosphatases also contribute.
967 19239414 Mutations in the regulatory gamma2 subunit of AMPK lead to an inherited syndrome of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and ventricular pre-excitation, which appears to be due to intracellular glycogen accumulation.
968 19720797 Impact of the PPAR-gamma2 Pro12Ala polymorphism and ACE inhibitor therapy on new-onset microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes: evidence from BENEDICT.
969 19733160 Gender-specific effect of Pro12Ala polymorphism in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma-2 gene on obesity risk and leptin levels in a Tunisian population.
970 19768241 The main interactions among genetic polymorphisms and diet were: for obesity: interleukin-6 (IL-6) with daily intake; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (PPAR-gama2) and fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) with fat intake; beta-adrenergic receptor 2 (ADRB2) and melanocortin receptor 4 (MCR4) with carbohydrate intake; or reduction in body weight: uncoupling proteins (UCPs) with restriction of energy; for leptinemia: leptin receptor (LEPR) with restriction of energy; for diabetes mellitus: PPAR-gama2 with fat intake; for hypertriglyceridemia: fatty acid-binding protein 2 (FABP2) with fat intake.
971 19828126 Our previous data suggested the involvement of matrix metalloproteinase-10 (MMP-10) and cathepsin F (CTSF) in the basement membrane and integrin changes occurring in diabetic corneas.
972 19828126 These markers were now examined in normal human organ-cultured corneas upon recombinant adenovirus (rAV)-driven transduction of MMP-10 and CTSF genes.
973 19828126 One cornea of each pair was transduced with rAV expressing either CTSF or MMP-10 genes. 1-2 x 10(8) plaque forming units of rAV per cornea were added to cultures for 48 h with or without sildenafil citrate.
974 19828126 Corneas transduced with CTSF or MMP-10 genes or their combination had increased epithelial immunostaining of respective proteins compared to fellow control corneas.
975 19828126 Staining for diabetic markers integrin alpha(3)beta(1), nidogen-1, nidogen-2, and laminin gamma2 chain became weaker and irregular upon proteinase transduction.
976 19828126 The data suggest that MMP-10 and CTSF may be responsible for abnormal marker patterns and impaired wound healing in diabetic corneas.
977 19846173 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 (PPARG2) is a nuclear hormone receptor of ligand-dependent transcription factor involved in adipogenesis and a molecular target of the insulin sensitizers thiazolidinediones.
978 20162504 Compared to saline, cats infused with lipids had 50% higher plasma adiponectin and 2-3 times higher alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.
979 20162504 Unexpectedly, lipid-infused cats had increased glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) mRNA in the visceral fat, and increased peroxisome proliferative activated receptor-gamma2 (PPARgamma2) in subcutaneous fat; adiponectin expression was not affected in any tissue.
980 20162504 Increased circulating adiponectin may have contributed to prevent insulin resistance, possibly by increasing GLUT4 and PPARgamma2 transcripts in fat depots.
981 20478996 During early adipogenesis, we find transient enrichment of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (CEBPbeta), p300, mediator subunit 1, and histone H3 acetylation near genes involved in cell proliferation, development, and differentiation, including the gene encoding the master regulator of adipocyte differentiation, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2 (PPARgamma2).
982 20486779 Overexpression of miR-138 in hAD-MSCs could effectively reduce lipid droplets accumulation, inhibit expression of key adipogenic transcription factors cytidine-cytidine-adenosine-adenosine-thymidine (CCAAT) enhancer binding protein alpha and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 as well as several other adipogenic marker genes, such as fatty acid binding protein 4 and lipoprotein lipase.
983 20486779 Further studies showed that the expression of adenovirus early region 1-A-like inhibitor of differentiation 1 (EID-1), a nuclear receptor coregulator, was inversely correlated with that of miR-138 when hAD-MSCs were differentiated into adipocytes.
984 20486779 Knockdown of EID-1 by RNA interference inhibited adipocyte differentiation of hAD-MSCs.
985 20486779 In addition, luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that miR-138 directly targeted the 3' untranslated region of EID-1, implying that the negative role of miR-138 in the adipocyte differentiation of hAD-MSCs is at least partially mediated via repressing EID-1.
986 21528816 PPAR-gamma2 pro12Ala polymorphism is associated with post-challenge abnormalities of glucose homeostasis in children and adolescents with obesity.
987 22511336 Potential anti-diabetic mechanisms were investigated with blood glucose, serum insulin, serum adiponectin, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), glucose tolerance, insulin secretion assay, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and hematoxylin-eosin staining.
988 22511336 Compared with the control group, the FGE group had lower levels of blood glucose after 6 and 9 h fasting, HbA1c, and the area under the curve in an oral glucose tolerance test and higher levels of adiponectin and serum insulin (p < 0.05).
989 22511336 The FGE group had higher levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 and glucose transporter protein 2 mRNAs, a lower level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (p < 0.05), and less lymphocytes in pancreas than the control group had.
990 22773754 We generated a murine model, the POKO mouse, obtained by crossing the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (PPARγ2) knockout (KO) mouse into a genetically obese ob/ob background.
991 22773754 Similar to ob/ob mice, at 4 weeks of age these animals exhibited an increased urinary albumin:creatinine ratio and significantly increased blood pressure, but in contrast showed a significant increase in the renal hypertrophy index and an associated increase in p27(Kip1) expression compared with their obese littermates.
992 22773754 Moreover, at 4 weeks of age POKO mice showed insulin resistance, an alteration of lipid metabolism and glomeruli damage associated with increased transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) expression.
