Basic information

Biomarker: PPARγ(-)

Histology type: endometrioid endometrial carcinoma

Cohort characteristics

Country: China

Region: Fuzhou

Followed up time :

Total number Group I Group I number Group II Group II number Group III Group III number Group IV Group IV number
116 EC patient 77 healthy 39

Sample information

Conclusion: A dynamic imbalance between PPARγ and ERRα leads to endometrial carcinogenesis and predicts the EC prognosis.

Sample type : tissue

Sample method: immunohistochemistry/qRT-PCR

Expression pattern : PPARγ(-)/ERRα (+)ratio≤1.86 

Expression elevation: A semiquantitative grading system incorporating staining intensity (score, 0–3) and tumor area with positive staining (0, 0%; 1, 1%-25%; 2, 26%–50%; 3, 51%-75%; and 4, 76%-100% of tumor cells) was applied. The staining index (SI) was calculated as the product of staining intensity and area and ranged from 0 to 12, as described in several publications. Immunohistochemical activity was stratified by the SI (-, 1-2; +, 3-4; ++, 5-8; and +++, 9-12). Immunological activities were classified as positive (+, ++, +++) and negative (-).

Funtion Uniprot: Nuclear receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Once activated by a ligand, the nuclear receptor binds to DNA specific PPAR response elements (PPRE) and modulates the transcription of its target genes, such as acyl-CoA oxidase. It therefore controls the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Key regulator of adipocyte differentiation and glucose homeostasis. ARF6 acts as a key regulator of the tissue-specific adipocyte P2 (aP2) enhancer. Acts as a critical regulator of gut homeostasis by suppressing NF-kappa-B-mediated pro-inflammatory responses. Plays a role in the regulation of cardiovascular circadian rhythms by regulating the transcription of ARNTL/BMAL1 in the blood vessels (By similarity).(Microbial infection) Upon treatment with M.tuberculosis or its lipoprotein LpqH, phosphorylation of MAPK p38 and IL-6 production are modulated, probably via this protein.
