In colon cancer cells, activation of PPARγ by troglitazone treatment inhibits growth and metastasis through differentiation-promoting effects, such as the marked increase in p21 Waf-1, developmentally regulated GTP-binding protein 1 (DRG-1), and E-cadherin in human colon cancer cells [63]. The gene discussed is DRG1; the disease is malignant colon neoplasm.
