  • Product overview

    PPAR gamma Transcription Factor Assay kit ab133101 is a non-radioactive, sensitive method for detecting specific transcription factor DNA binding activity in nuclear extracts.


    A 96 well enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) replaces the cumbersome radioactive electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). A specific double stranded DNA (dsDNA)sequence containing the peroxisome proliferator response element (PPRE) is immobilized onto the bottom of wells of a 96 well plate. PPARs contained in a nuclear extract bind specifically to the PPRE. PPAR gamma is detected by addition of specific primary antibody directed against PPAR gamma. A secondary antibody conjugated to HRP is added to provide a sensitive colorometric readout at 450 nm. PPAR gamma will not crossreact with PPAR delta or PPAR alpha.

  • Notes

    Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand activated nuclear receptors. Three PPAR subtypes have been identified: alpha, delta and gamma. PPARs can be activated by polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosanoids and various synthtic ligands.

    PPAR gamma is primarily expressed in adipose tissue and to a lesser extent in the colon, immune system and the retina. PPAR gamma was first identified as regulator of adipogenesis, but also plays an important role in cellular differentiation, insulin sensitization , atherosclerosis and cancer.

  • Function

    Receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Once activated by a ligand, the receptor binds to a promoter element in the gene for acyl-CoA oxidase and activates its transcription. It therefore controls the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Key regulator of adipocyte differentiation and glucose homeostasis.
  • Tissue specificity

    Highest expression in adipose tissue. Lower in skeletal muscle, spleen, heart and liver. Also detectable in placenta, lung and ovary.
  • Involvement in disease

    Note=Defects in PPARG can lead to type 2 insulin-resistant diabetes and hyptertension. PPARG mutations may be associated with colon cancer.
    Defects in PPARG may be associated with susceptibility to obesity (OBESITY) [MIM:601665]. It is a condition characterized by an increase of body weight beyond the limitation of skeletal and physical requirements, as the result of excessive accumulation of body fat.
    Defects in PPARG are the cause of familial partial lipodystrophy type 3 (FPLD3) [MIM:604367]. Familial partial lipodystrophies (FPLD) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by marked loss of subcutaneous (sc) fat from the extremities. Affected individuals show an increased preponderance of insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia.
    Genetic variations in PPARG can be associated with susceptibility to glioma type 1 (GLM1) [MIM:137800]. Gliomas are central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells and comprise astrocytomas, glioblastoma multiforme, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas. Note=Polymorphic PPARG alleles have been found to be significantly over-represented among a cohort of American patients with sporadic glioblastoma multiforme suggesting a possible contribution to disease susceptibility.

Kit does not work in porcine nuclear extracts

Below average Excellent 5/5 (Ease of Use)

We ran this procedure twice, with nuclear extracts from two different tissues (adipose tissue and liver) from pigs, and the kit did not detect any PPAR gamma in the samples. The positive control worked well both times, and there was increasing signal with increasing amounts of positive control. Signal was detected with even the lowest amount of positive control used (0.75uL). However, the competitive inhibitor did not seem to reduce signal as much as expected when positive control was used in those wells (when a sample was used in those wells on the second run, no signal was detected). Our nuclear extracts have been used in western blotting of other transcription factors, but not PPAR gamma therefore, we know the extracts themselves are OK, but they may simply all lack PPAR gamma (unlikely). I also did not realize that this kit does not include a standard curve, so the assay would be relatively quantitative at best, if in fact it worked.

ab133101 - PPARy transcription factor assay kit.

This product was used to detect activated PPARy in swine brain that had been subjected to hemorrhagic shock and TBI and treated with normal saline (NS), Hextend (HEX), or Hextend + valproic acid (HEX + VPA). 40mg of brain per sample was homogenized. Nuclear extraction was performed using an Abcam nuclear extraction kit. Protein levels were balanced. The ELISA was performed per the manufacturer's instructions. Samples were incubated overnight at 4 degrees. Colorimetric reaction was brisk and was monitored for progression (per instructions, at 650 nm). Stop solution was added after 30 minutes of agitation at room temperature (control absorbance = 0.5-0.6). The use of competitive dsDNA produced an expected decrease in absorbance (0.3-0.4). All samples were run in duplicates. The average absorbance for each group was as follows:

SHAM 0.55
NS 0.82
HEX 0.76
HEX + VPA 0.73

These findings were not statistically significant and did not support our hypothesis. As such, they will not be published.

Question

Will this kit test Pparg 1 and 2, or only Pparg 1? Is the primary antibody also available separately?

Asked on Mar 19 2013

Answer

The antibody in the assay is capable of detecting both of the isoforms of PPAR gamma, 1 and 2, which are described at the following UniProt entry:

http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P37231

We do not sell the antibody separately, but we do have a similar rabbit polyclonal anti-PPARg antibody that is raised against a C terminus sequence of amino acids that is shared by by both isoforms. The catalogue number is ab19481:
