Inhibition of tumor migration and invasion by fenofibrate via suppressing epithelial-mesenchymal transition in breast cancers
In this study, we examined five lipid-lowering drugs: swertiamarin, gemfibrozil, clofibrate, bezafibrate, and fenofibrate in triple-negative breast cancer, which is the most migration-prone subtype. Using human and murine triple-negative breast cancer cell lines (Hs 578 t and 4 T1), we found that fenofibrate displays the highest potential in inhibiting the colony formation, wound healing, and transwell migration. We further discovered that fenofibrate reduces the activity of pro-metastatic enzymes, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-9 and MMP-2. In addition, epithelial markers including E-cadherin and Zonula occludens-1 are i...

Fenofibrate alleviates NAFLD by enhancing the PPAR α/PGC-1α signaling pathway coupling mitochondrial function
CONCLUSION: Fenofibrate up-regulated PPARα/PGC-1α signaling pathway, promoted mitochondrial β-oxidation, reduced oxidative stress damage and lipid accumulation of liver. PGC-1α overexpression enhanced mitochondrial biosynthesis and ATP production, and reduced HepG2 intracellular accumulation of lipids and oxidative stress.PMID:38173037 | DOI:10.1186/s40360-023-00730-6 (Source: BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology)

Role of PPAR α in inflammatory response of C2C12 myotubes
Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2023 Dec 20;694:149413. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2023.149413. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent studies have shown a role of inflammation in muscle atrophy and sarcopenia. However, no anti-inflammatory pharmacotherapy has been established for the treatment of sarcopenia. Here, we investigate the potential role of PPARα and its ligands on inflammatory response and PGC-1α gene expression in LPS-treated C2C12 myotubes. Knockdown of PPARα, whose expression was upregulated upon differentiation, augmented IL-6 or TNFα gene expression. Conversely, PPARα overexpression or its activation by ligands su...

Developing an in vitro lipolysis model for real-time analysis of drug concentrations during digestion of lipid-based formulations
This study explores the use of alternative lipases with the aim of selecting digestion conditions that permit in-line UV detection for the determination of real-time drug concentrations. A range of immobilised and pre-dissolved lipases were assessed for digestion of lipid-based formulations and compared to digestion with the classical source of lipase, porcine pancreatin. Palatase® 20000 L, a purified liquid lipase, displayed comparable digestion kinetics to porcine pancreatin and drug concentration determined during digestion of a fenofibrate lipid-based formulation were similar between methods. In-line UV analysis using...
