Abstract
15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), a natural PPARγ agonist, has been investigated for over a decade. Studies have revealed that it has proapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenic, and anti-metastatic abilities, as well as a significant anticancer effect. However, the mechanisms underlying the actions of 15d-PGJ2 on various tumors are only partially known. In this review, we discuss the recent progress in elucidating these mechanisms. Understanding the various functions and mechanisms of 15d-PGJ2 are crucial for the development of new therapies for controlling tumor growth and providing the basis for further research.Entities:
