ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression and significance of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) in human glioma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Immunohistochemical staining for PPAR gamma was performed using biopsy specimens of human glioma of various histological types. Expression of PPAR gamma and GFAP in glioma cell lines SWO-38, U251 and SHG-44 were analyzed using Western blotting and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Immunohistochemical study showed that PPAR gamma was expressed in glioma tissues with positive rate of 37.5%. Western blotting and RT-PCR showed that PPAR gamma was expressed in both glioma cell lines SWO-38 and U251, but not in SHG-44 cells. However, high expression of GFAP was detected in SHG-44 cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>PPAR gamma is associated with carcinogens of glioma. Actived PPAR gamma by agonist may be a novel approach to the treatment of glioma.</p>
