The Key to Unlocking the Chemotherapeutic Potential of PPARγ Ligands: Having the Right Combination by Graham Skelhorne-Gross, Christopher J. B. Nicol

“…In spite of this, several groups reported exciting results with therapeutic regimens that combine PPARγ ligands with other compounds: chemotherapeutic agents, retinoid x receptor (RXR)α agonists, statins, or cell-to-cell signaling molecules in preclinical cancer models and human trials. Here we have compiled an extensive review, consolidating the existing literature, which overwhelmingly supports a beneficial effect of treating with PPARγ ligands in combination with existing chemotherapies versus their monotherapy in cancer. …”

Treatment of gouty lumbar spinal stenosis: a case report and bioinformatics analysis by Xiao Zhang, Wenbo Gu, Di Luo, Xi Zhu, Xusheng Li, Haifeng Yuan

“…In addition, in order to further investigate the deep mechanism of LSS associated with gout, we obtained the intersecting genes of the two diseases based on a machine learning approach by obtaining the dataset GSE113212 related to LSS from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the genes related to gout from the human gene database. We found that TGFB1, PPARG, and SAMRCC1 may be important biomarkers for treating of both diseases. …”
