ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of troglitazone, a proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) agonist, on the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and matrix metalloproteainse-9 (MMP-9) and cell proliferation in HeLa cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>MTT assay was used to measure the cell viability at different time points (0, 24, 48 and 72 h) after exposure to troglitazone. RT-PCR and Western blotting were employed to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of ICAM-1, MMP-9 and PPARγ in the cells. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was performed to assess the changes in DNA binding activity of PPARγ.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The viability of HeLa cells were time-dependently inhibited by troglitazone, which also significantly reduced the mRNA and protein expressions of ICAM-1 and MMP-9 and increased PPARγ expression. The effects of troglitazone in inhibiting the cell viability and reducing ICAM-1 and MMP-9 expressions were antagonized by the application of the PPARγ antagonist GW9662. The result of EMSA also showed significantly increased DNA binding activity of PPARγ in the cells exposed to troglitazone.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The PPARγ agonist troglitazone can inhibit the expression of ICAM-1 and MMP-9 in HeLa cells by up-regulating PPARγ.</p>
