The <i>PPARG</i> gene encoding the nuclear receptor PPARγ is activated in bladder cancer, either directly by gene amplification or mutation, or indirectly by mutation of the <i>RXRA</i> gene, which encodes the heterodimeric partner of PPARγ. Here, we show that activating alterations of <i>PPARG</i> or <i>RXRA</i> lead to a specific gene expression signature in bladder cancers. Reducing PPARG activity, whether by pharmacologic inhibition or genetic ablation, inhibited proliferation of PPARG-activ ...[more]
