摘　　要：AIM： To investigate whether peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor γ （PPAR-γ） is expressed in human gastric carcinoma and whether PPAR-γ, is a potential target for gastric carcinoma therapy. METHODS： PPAR-γ protein in gastric carcinoma was examined by immunohistochemistry. In the gastric carcinoma cell line MGCS03, PPAR-7, survivin, Skp2 and p27 protein and mRNA were examined by Western blotting and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively; proliferation was examined by MTT; apoptosis was examined by chromatin staining with Hoechst 33342 and fluorescence activated cell sorting （FACS）. and cell cycle was examined by FACS; the knockdown of PPAR-γ was done by RNA interference. RESULTS： A high level of expression of PPAR-γ was observed in human gastric carcinoma and in a human gastric carcinoma cell line MGCS03. The PPAR-γ agonist 15-deoxy-△12,14-prostaglandin J2 （15d-PGJ2）inhibited growth, and induced apoptosis and G1/G0 cell cycle arrest in MGC803 cells in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner. The effect of 15d-PGJ2 on MGC803 cells was not reversed by the selective and irreversible antagonist GW9662 for PPAR-γ. Furthermore, survivin and Skp2 expression were decreased, whereas p27 expression was enhanced following 15d-PGJ2 treatment in a dose-dependent manner in MGC803 cells. Interestingly, we also found that small interfering RNA for PPAR-γ inhibited growth and induced apoptosis in MGC803 cells. The inhibition of PPAR-γ function may be a potentially important and novel modality for treatment and prevention of gastric carcinoma. CONCLUSION： A PPAR-γ agonist inhibited growth of human gastric carcinoma MGC803 cells by inducing apoptosis and G1/G0 cell cycle arrest with the involvement of survivin, Skp2 and p27 and not via PPAR-γ.AIM:To investigate whether peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) is expressed in human gastric carcinoma and whether PPAR-γ is a potential target for gastric carcinoma therapy.METHODS: PPAR-γ protein in gastric carcinoma was examined by immunohistochemistry.
