| Abstract | Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor (PPAR) β/δ–null mice exhibit exacerbated hepatotoxicity in response to administration of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). To determine whether ligand activation of the receptor protects against chemical toxicity in the liver, wild-type and PPARβ/δ-null mice were administered CCl4 with or without coadministration of the highly specific PPARβ/δ ligand GW0742. Biomarkers of liver toxicity, including serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and hepatic tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α mRNA, were significantly higher in CCl4-treated PPARβ/δ-null mice compared to wild-type mice. Hepatic expression of TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis receptor (TWEAKr) and S100 calcium–binding protein A6 (S100A6/calcyclin), genes involved in nuclear factor kappa B signaling, was higher in the CCl4-treated PPARβ/δ-null mice compared to wild-type mice. GW0742 treatment resulted in reduced serum ALT concentration and lower expression of CCl4-induced TNF-α, S100A6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1), and TWEAKr in wild-type mice, and these effects were not observed in PPARβ/δ-null mice. Expression of TNF-α was higher in PPARβ/δ-null primary hepatocytes in response to interleukin-1β treatment compared to wild-type hepatocytes, but GW0742 did not significantly modulate TNF-α expression in hepatocytes from either genotype. While PPARβ/δ-null hepatic stellate exhibited higher rates of proliferation compared to wild-type cells, GW0742 did not affect α-smooth muscle actin expression in these cells. Combined, these findings demonstrate that ligand activation of PPARβ/δ protects against chemically induced hepatotoxicity by downregulating expression of proinflammatory genes. Hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells do not appear to directly mediate the inhibitory effects of ligand activation of PPARβ/δ in liver, suggesting the involvement of paracrine and autocrine events mediated by hepatic cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
