Inflammation is a known precipitator of neuronal death after cerebral ischemia. The mechanisms that promote or curtail the start and spread of inflammation in brain are still being debated. By virtue of their capability to modulate gene expression, several transcription factors induced in the ischemic brain can modulate the post-ischemic inflammation. While the induction of transcription factors such as IRF1, NF-kappa B, ATF-2, STAT3, Egrl and C/EBP beta is thought to promote post-ischemic inflammation, activation of transcription factors such as HIF-1, CREB, c-fos, PPAR alpha, PPAR gamma and p53 is thought to prevent post-ischemic inflammation and neuronal damage. Of these, PPAR gamma which is a ligand-activated transcription factor was recently shown to prevent inflammatory gene expression in several animal models CNS disorders. This review article discusses some of the molecular mechanisms of PPAR gamma induction by its agonists following focal cerebral ischemia. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
