Abstract It has been previously shown that PPAR gamma ligands induce apoptotic cell death in a variety of cancer cells. Publication types Research Support, N. A variety of factors have been found to modulate angiogenesis [ 10 ].
Net tumor-induced angiogenesis is believed to be due to an imbalance in the expression of angiogenic factors relative to angiostatic factors [ 11 ].
Among the factors that can regulate angiogenesis is a unique family of 8- to kDa molecules known as CXC chemokines. These molecules are initially characterized as a family of neutrophil chemotactic factors during inflammation. However, their angiogenic activity is distinct from their ability to induce inflammation. The CXC chemokine family consists of a number of structurally related peptides that either promote or inhibit angiogenesis. Edwin Ades and Mr. Francisco J. Media were changed in all cell lines every 48 to 72 hours.
After 8 weeks, animals were sacrificed and tumors were dissected from the mice, fixed in formalin, and embedded in paraffin for thin sectioning. Quantitation of vessel density was performed using the method described previously [ 26,27 ]. After optimal color development, sections were immersed in water and cover-slipped. Tissue sections were scanned at low magnification x40 to identify vascular hot spots. Areas of greatest vessel density were then examined under higher magnification x and counted.
Any distinct area of positive staining for factor VIII-related antigen was counted as a single vessel.
Two investigators, blinded to the identity of the specimen, independently scored sections from each tumor. Subsequently, plates were incubated with the peroxidase substrate DAKO Corporation at room temperature to the desired extinction. The reaction was terminated with 0. Chemotaxis membrane filters 5. The filters were then transferred to a 0. Filters were dried under a laminar flow hood, and stored at room temperature for up to 1 month.
Endothelial cell chemotaxis assays were performed in well blind well chemotaxis chambers Neuro Probe, Gaithersburg, MD. Membranes were placed over the wells, the gasket applied, and the chambers sealed.
Chambers were reincubated for 2 hours. Membranes were then scraped to remove any unmigrated endothelial cells from the lower chamber, fixed in methanol, and stained with a modified Wright-Giemsa stain, and cells that had migrated through the membrane were counted in 5 HPF x Each sample was assessed in triplicate.
Experiments were performed at least three times. Cell proliferation was measured using Promega's Madison, WI aqueous one-solution cell proliferation assay according to the manufacturer's protocol. It is based on the cellular conversion of a tetrazolium salt into a soluble formazon product as a measure of proliferation. After 48 hours of incubation with agonists, the aqueous one-solution reagent was added and incubated for 2 to 3 hours.
The intensity of the color was measured at nm using a well plate reader. A horseradish peroxidase HRP -conjugated secondary antibody provides a sensitive colorimetric readout that is quantified by a spectrophotometer at nm with a reference wavelength of nm.
For most of the analyses, unpaired t test was employed to determine P values, unless otherwise specified. Immunohistochemical analysis of primary tumors with factor VIII antibody, an endothelial cell marker, showed decreases in blood vessel density in Tro-treated and Pio-treated tumors at 8 weeks, compared to the placebo-treated control Figure 1 A.
Tumor cells are one of the major sources for angiogenic modulators during tumor progression, and CXC chemokines expressed by tumor cells are believed to be attributed to tumor-associated angiogenesis. The secreted levels of each chemokine were assessed by the respective chemokine-specific ELISA in the conditioned media collected from A cells.
The conditioned media were collected from A cells after 24 hours of various treatments as indicated, in serum-free media. Chemokine expression was quantified in A conditioned media by using chemokine-specific ELISA as described in Materials and Methods section after 24 hours of various treatments in the absence of serum. One of the key endothelial cell functions that contribute to the progression of angiogenesis is endothelial cell migration.

MMP-1 is produced by a variety of cell types, including endothelium. It is implicated in several pathological processes such as tumor invasion and restenosis [ ].
In addition, Kim et al. In addition, Kwak et al. However, other studies conflict with those reports. Recently, Yang et al. Even though the extensive studies to clarify the role of PPARs in colorectal cancer using several PPAR agonists and gene knockout experiments were performed, there are still many controversies about them.
PPAR ligands induce many physiological changes, including increased oxidation of fatty acids, which contributes to decreasing serum lipids and reducing body weight; and inhibition of inflammatory signaling. There are good reasons to suggest that PPAR agonists should be potential candidates for treating and preventing colorectal cancer, because obesity and chronic inflammation are major risk factors for colorectal cancer.
To completely understand the role of PPARs in colorectal cancer, it is necessary to dissect the complex regulation of PPAR expression and to examine interactions of each PPAR with other nuclear receptors and signalling molecules involved in cell proliferation and cell death in the near future.
