Since their discovery it has become clear that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors involved in the genetic regulation of the lipid metabolism and energy homoeostasis. Subsequently, accumulating evidence suggests a role of PPARs in genomic pathways including the regulation of cell growth, apoptosis and differentiation. These findings indicate that PPARs and PPAR agonists play an important role in inflammatory responses and tumor promotion. Because of their diverse biologic activities on keratinocytes and other skin cells, PPARs represent a major research target for the understanding and treatment of many skin pathologies, such as hyperproliferative and inflammatory diseases. Overmore recent clinical trials identified PPARs as promising drug targets for the prevention and treatment of various diseases in the field of dermatology. The present review summarizes the current knowledge of PPAR functions in various skin disorders particularly those involving inflammation and epidermal hyperproliferation (i.e., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, scleroderma, skin malignancies).
