Abstract In previous investigations, we reported that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor / (PPAR / ) activation by GW501516 inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis in the undifferentiated C666-1 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells by modulating caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway. In the present study, the
mechanism by which GW501516 induces apoptosis was explored from the perspective of microRNA (miRNA)
expression. Among the assayed miRNAs that were involved in regulating the expression of antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, miR-206 was increased significantly and specifically by GW501516 in C666-1 cells at both the in
vitro level and at the in vivo xenograft samples. The induction… More >
