The inhibition of the breast cancer by PPAR γ agonist pioglitazone through JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

The inhibition of the breast cancer by PPARγ agonist pioglitazone through JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Neoplasma. 2020 May 06;: Authors: Jiao XX, Lin SY, Lian SX, Qiu YR, Li ZH, Chen ZH, Lu WQ, Zhang Y, Deng L, Jiang Y, Hu GH Abstract Breast cancer, especially triple negative breast cancer, is one of the deadliest cancers in women. To date, there is a lack of good therapeutics regime for it. PPARγ has been reported to be a tumor suppressor and could be activated by many agonists involved in cancer inhibition. Therefore, the expression of PPARγ in breast cancer was analyzed by online software UALCAN whose data were from the TCGA database. The results revealed that the PPARγ expression was reduced in breast cancer tissues. Furthermore, the methylation in the PPARγ promoter was also assayed and the results indicated that the methylation level in the PPARγ promoter in breast cancer tissue was higher than that in normal tissue. In order to verify the methylation in promoter involved in the regulation of gene PPARγ expression, the 5'-Aza and fluorescence assays were performed and the results proved that methylation in promoter participated in gene PPARγ expression regulation. Pioglitazone, a PPARγ agonist, still was not investigated in breast cancer. Therefore, the effects of pioglitazone on breast cancer cells were tested by cell viability, scratch and transwell assays and results indicated that the pioglitazone has the inhibition effect ...
