Background: Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐gamma (PPAR‐γ) activators have anti‐cancer effects. Our objective was to determine the effect of PPAR‐γ ligands 15‐deoxy‐D12,14‐Prostaglandin J2 (15‐PGJ2) and ciglitazone on proliferation, apoptosis, and NF‐κB in human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines. Methods: NA and CA9‐22 cells were treated in vitro with 15‐PGJ2 and ciglitazone. Proliferation was measured by MTT colorimetric assay and cell cycle analysis performed via flow cytometry, apoptosis by caspase‐3 colorimetric assay and poly‐(ADP‐ribose) polymerase cleavage on Western blot, and NF‐κB activation by luciferase assays. Results: MTT assays demonstrated dose‐dependent decreases after 15‐PGJ2 treatment in both cell lines, and S‐phase cell cycle arrest was also demonstrated. NF‐κB luciferase reporter gene activity decreased seven‐ and eightfold in NA and CA9‐22 cells, respectively. Caspase‐3 activity increased two‐ and eightfold in NA and CA9‐22 cells, respectively. Conclusions: Our results suggest these agents, in addition to activating PPAR‐γ, can downregulate NF‐κB and potentiate apoptosis in oral cancer cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
