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).
