Troglitazone is an orally active agonist of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), with EC50 values of 550nM and 780nM for human and murine receptors, respectively[1]. PPARγ is a widely expressed ligand-regulated transcription factor that controls the expression of genes involved in inflammation, redox balance, neurotrophic factor production, insulin sensitivity, and lipid and glucose metabolism[2]. By activating PPARγ, Troglitazone improves insulin resistance and regulates glucose and lipid metabolism, making it commonly used for the treatment of type II diabetes[3].
In vitro, treatment of mitochondria isolated from rat liver with Troglitazone (10, 50μM) for 5min induced mitochondrial swelling[4]. Treatment of C4-2 cells with Troglitazone (45μM) for 72h induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest and increased the proportion of cells in the subG0 phase and the level of DNA fragmentation[5]. Treatment of human bladder cancer T24 and EJ cells with Troglitazone (25, 50μM) for 24h increased the ratio of light chain 3 (LC3)-II to actin in a time- and concentration-dependent manner[6].
In vivo, oral administration of Troglitazone (200mg/kg/day) for 5 weeks to male Balb/c mice bearing MIA Paca2 xenograft tumors significantly suppressed tumor growth without a significant effect on mouse body weight[7]. A single intraperitoneal injection of Troglitazone (300mg/kg) in female BALB/c mice significantly increased plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels after 6h, and this treatment induced pericentral hepatocyte necrosis within 24h[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
C4-2 cells (human prostate cancer cell lines) |
|
Preparation Method |
Cells were treated with Troglitazone 45μM for 72h, the percentage of cells within the different phases of the cell cycle was determined using flow cytometry, and the level of DNA fragmentation was measured using a Cell Death ELISA. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
45μM; 72h |
|
Applications |
Troglitazone treatment induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest and increased the proportion of subG0 phase cells and DNA fragmentation levels. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
Balb/c male mice bearing MIA Paca2 xenografts |
|
Preparation Method |
Balb/c male mice were subcutaneously inoculated in the back with MIA Paca2 cells (5 × 106 cells) 14 days before the start of Troglitazone administration. Mice were then orally administered 200mg/kg of Troglitazone daily for 5 weeks. Tumor volume was measured bi-dimensionally and volume was calculated by the formula (length × width2) × 0.5, and mouse body weights were monitored throughout the experiment. |
|
Dosage form |
200mg/kg/day; 5 weeks; p.o. |
|
Applications |
Troglitazone exhibited inhibitory effects on tumor growth in the MIA Paca2 xenograft model, the body weights of mice were not affected compared to those of the vehicle administration group. |
