摘要:
The present invention is based on the finding that activation of PPARγ plays a key role in inducing growth arrest and differentiation of certain actively proliferating cells. We show that administration of PPARγ agonists, such as thiazolidinedione ligands (TZDs), is effective both in vitro and in vivo at inhibiting the proliferation of such cells.

摘要:
A method for inhibiting proliferation of a PPAR &ggr;-responsive hyperproliferative cell which comprises the step of contacting the cell with (I) an inhibitory amount of a PPAR&ggr; agonist and (II) a MAP kinase inhibitor is disclosed. A method for treating or prophylactically preventing in an animal subject a disorder characterized by unwanted proliferation of PPAR&ggr;-responsive hyperproliferative cells which comprises administering to the subject (I) an inhibitory amount of a PPAR&ggr; agonist and (II) a MAP kinase inhibitor is also disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a PPAR&ggr; agonist and a MAP kinase inhibitor are disclosed for use in the methods.
