Although peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonists have been implicated in differentiation and growth inhibition of cancer cells, the potential therapeutic and chemopreventive effects on gastric cancer are poorly defined. We examined the in vitro and in vivo effects of PPARgamma ligands on growth of gastric cancer, and the effect of PPARgamma activation on expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and cancer related genes.
