Abstract:
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), with the α, β/δ and γ isoforms, are nuclear receptors that control the expression of genes involved in glucose and lipids\' metabolism and into inflammatory processes and play a central role in metabolic syndrome. PPARs are a particular class of nuclear receptors because of their larger and more flexible ligand-binding domain with a particular Y shape. As nuclear receptors, PPARs are sensitive to exposure to xenobiotic compounds, called endocrine disruptions, even at low concentrations that could alter their homeostasis. Among these, food contact materials (FCMs), like phthalates, are synthetic compounds able to migrate from packaging to food and represent a significant source of exposure because of the increased use of plastic in the packaging in the last years. Through multiple docking and consensus scoring, we can analyse the ligand-binding domain\'s chemical and physical features, understand the mechanism of activation and predict the interaction with possible endocrine disruptions with an evaluation of their effects.
摘要:
过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体(PPARs),α,β/δ和γ同工型,是核受体,控制参与葡萄糖和脂质代谢和炎症过程的基因的表达,并在代谢综合征中起核心作用。PPAR是一类特定的核受体,因为它们具有特定的Y形状的更大和更灵活的配体结合结构域。作为核受体,PPAR对暴露于异种生物化合物敏感,称为内分泌干扰,即使在低浓度下也能改变它们的稳态。其中,食品接触材料(FCM),像邻苯二甲酸酯,是能够从包装迁移到食品的合成化合物,并且由于过去几年在包装中使用塑料而成为暴露的重要来源。通过多重对接和共识评分,我们可以分析配体结合域的化学和物理特征,了解激活机制,并通过评估其影响来预测与可能的内分泌干扰的相互作用。
