General description

15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) is a prostaglandin J2 (PGJ2) metabolite and a naturally occurring derivative of prostaglandin D2. It is produced during inflammatory processes.

Application

15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 has been used:
  • to study its effect on lipid accumulation, viability/mitochondrial activity, and amount of vasculature in vascularized adipose tissue model
  • as a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARγ) agonist to activate intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP)-PPARγ pathway
  • as a supplement in culture medium for induced neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) differentiation

Biochem/physiol Actions

15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) regulates inflammatory response in vivo. 15d-PGJ2 also elicits PPARγ-independent inhibition of nuclear factor (NF)-κB dependent transcription. It acts as an anti-angiogenic factor and triggers endothelial cell apoptosis.
Selective agonist to PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors). Inhibits the proliferation of cancer cell lines that express PPARγ and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).

Serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) antidepressants such as fluoxetine (Prozac), promote hippocampal neurogenesis. They also increase the levels of the bcl-2 protein, whose overexpression in transgenic mice enhances adult hippocampal neurogenesis. However, the mechanisms underlying SRI-mediated neurogenesis are unclear. Recently, we

Accumulating evidence suggests that loss of the renal tubular epithelial phenotype plays an important role in the pathogenesis of renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Systemic activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) has been shown to be protective against renal fibrosis, although
