摘要
Significance: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have a moderately preserved amino-terminal domain, an extremely preserved DNA-binding domain, an integral hinge region, and a distinct ligand-binding domain that are frequently encountered with the other nuclear receptors. PPAR-β/δ is among the three nuclear receptor superfamily members in the PPAR group. Recent Advances: Emerging studies provide an insight on natural compounds that have gained increasing attention as potential anticancer agents due to their ability to target multiple pathways involved in cancer development and progression. Critical Issues: Modulation of PPAR-β/δ activity has been suggested as a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer management. This review focuses on the ability of bioactive phytocompounds to impact reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox signaling by targeting PPAR-β/δ for cancer therapy. The rise of ROS in cancer cells may play an important part in the initiation and progression of cancer. However, excessive levels of ROS stress can also be toxic to the cells and cancer cells with increased oxidative stress are likely to be more vulnerable to damage by further ROS insults induced by exogenous agents, such as phytocompounds and therapeutic agents. Therefore, redox modulation is a way to selectively kill cancer cells without causing significant toxicity to normal cells. However, use of antioxidants together with cancer drugs may risk the effect of treatment as both act through opposite mechanisms. Future Directions: It is advisable to employ more thorough and detailed methodologies to undertake mechanistic explorations of numerous phytocompounds. Moreover, conducting additional clinical studies is recommended to establish optimal dosages, efficacy, and the impact of different phytochemicals on PPAR-β/δ.
