Protein Important for Mitochondrial Biogenesis Cooperates With HO-1 To Increase Stress Resistance In Endothelial Cells

ConclusionWe have identified an important relationship between PPARdelta, PGC1alpha, and haem oxygenase-1, demonstrating that haem oxygenase-1 induction plays an important role in cytoprotective actions of PPARdelta ligands in vascular endothelium. In light of the protective effects of haem oxygenase-1 against atherogenesis, we suggest that PPARdelta represents a potentially important therapeutic target in the vasculature.
