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).

Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma (PPARgamma) induces diverse effects on cancer cells. The thiazolidinediones (TZDs), such as troglitazone and ciglitazone, are PPARgamma agonists exhibiting antitumor activities; however, the underlying mechanism remains inconclusive.
