Abstract:

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma(PPARγ)is a member of type Ⅱ nuclear receptor superfamily,as a ligand-dependent transcription factor. In recent years,studies have shown that activated PPARγ is capable of modulating the expression of numerous genes and is involved in many physiological and pathological processes,including anti-obesity,anti-atherosclerosis,anti-diabetes mellitus,anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory skin diseases. These diseases are closely related to inflammation. In this review,the research progress of PPARγ in inflammation and inflammatory-related diseases will be summarized.

Key words: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, Inflammation, Ligand
