Article Title: ERRα inhibitor acts as a potential agonist of PPARγ to induce cell apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation in endometrial cancer
doi: 10.18632/aging.104049
Figure Lengend Snippet: PPARγ and ERRα compete to control cell proliferation and promote apoptosis in EC cells. ( A ) The effect of OV-PPARγ, OV-ERRα, GW9662 or XCT790 on proliferation. The OD values of HCE-1A and HEC-1B cells were detected at 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h after transfection with lentivirus or treatment with ERRα and PPARγ antagonists. ( B , C ) The effect of GW9662 or XCT790 on the cell cycle. HEC-1A and HEC-1B cells were treated with DMSO, GW9662 (5 μM) or XCT790 (10 μM) for 72 h. ( D , E ) The effect of OV-PPARγ or GW9662 on apoptosis.( F , G ) The effect of OV-ERRα or XCT790 on apoptosis. OV-PPARγ: overexpression of PPARγ; OV-ERRα: overexpression of ERRα. EC, endometrial cancer. *, P<0.05; #, P>0.05.
Article Snippet: Full-length cDNA plasmids for PPARγ (PPARG, NM_015869) and ERRα (ESRRA, NM_004451) were purchased from Genechem (Shanghai, People's Republic of China) and cloned into a lentivirus-based vector carrying the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene (GV358, Genechem, Shanghai, China) with the following component sequence: Ubi-MCS-3FLAG-SV40-EGFP-IRES-puromycin.
