Abstract
Nuclear receptors are ligand-dependent transcription factors that act as signal transducers by binding to and regulating the transcription of target DNA (genomic action). In recent years, nuclear receptors have also been found to exhibit a direct action on target proteins without affecting their transcription (non-genomic action). Independent complexes are expected to distinguish these two nuclear receptor actions. In this paper, I report the non-genomic action of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonists and propose a strategy for treatment of renal fibrotic diseases by PPARγ agonists with an emphasis on non-genomic actions.
