PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma) acts as a key molecule of adipocyte differentiation, and transactivates multiple target genes involved in lipid metabolic pathways. Identification of PPARγ target genes will facilitate to predict the extent to which the drugs can affect and also to understand the molecular basis of lipid metabolism. Here, we have identified five target genes regulated directly by PPARγ during adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells using integrated analyses of ChIP-on-chip and expression microarray. We have confirmed the direct PPARγ regulation of five genes by luciferase reporter assay in NIH-3T3 cells. Of these five genes Hp, Tmem143 and 1100001G20Rik are novel PPARγ targets. We have also detected PPREs (PPAR response elements) sequences in the promoter region of the five genes computationally. Unexpectedly, most of the PPREs detected proved to be atypical, suggesting the existence of more atypical PPREs than previously thought in the promoter region of PPARγ regulated genes. 相似文献

The expression of PPAR-associated genes is modulated through postnatal development of PPAR subtypes in the small intestine 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
In this study, we found that the mRNA level of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha, but not of PPARdelta, was elevated in the jejunum during the postnatal development of the rat. Moreover, we found that the expressions of PPAR-dependent genes, such as acyl-CoA oxidase, L-FABP, and I-FABP, were also increased during the postnatal development of the small intestine. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay revealed that both the PPARalpha-9-cis-retinoic acid receptor alpha (RXRalpha) heterodimer and the PPARdelta-RXRalpha heterodimer bound to the peroxisome proliferator response element (PPRE) of acyl-CoA oxidase and L-FABP genes. The binding of the PPARalpha-RXRalpha heterodimer to the PPREs of the various genes was enhanced by the addition of PPARalpha, with a concomitant reduction of the binding of PPARdelta-RXRalpha to the PPREs. Furthermore, the binding activity of PPARalpha-RXRalpha, but not PPARdelta-RXRalpha, to the PPREs was enhanced by the addition of a PPAR ligand, WY14,643. The GAL4-PPAR-chimera reporter assay showed that WY14,643 transactivated the reporter gene through action of PPARalpha, but not through PPARdelta, in Caco-2 cells. Furthermore, oral administration of a PPAR ligand, clofibrate, during 3 consecutive days of the weanling period caused a parallel increase in the mRNA levels of these PPAR-dependent genes. These results suggest that acyl-CoA oxidase, L-FABP and the other PPAR-dependent genes in the small intestine may be coordinately modulated during postnatal development by the disproportional expression of PPARalpha over PPARdelta. 相似文献

Aims
Panduratin A isolated from Boesenbergia pandurata (Roxb.) has been reported to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergic activities. However, the effect of panduratin A on atopic dermatitis (AD) has not been studied. In the present study, we investigated the efficacy of panduratin A, an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) α/δ, using oxazolone-induced AD-like model in hairless mice.Main methods
To determine PPARα/δ activation of panduratin A, HaCaT, Hs68, and COS-7 cells were treated with panduratin A, then PPARα/δ and PPAR response element (PPRE) activities were assessed with a reporter gene assay. For the in vivo study, oral administration of panduratin A was performed for 4 weeks, with oxazolone treatment every other day. The efficacy of panduratin A on parameters of oxazolone-induced AD was assessed physiologically, morphologically, and immunologically.Key findings
Panduratin A increased PPARα/δ and PPRE activation both in vitro and in vivo. Panduratin A attenuated dermatitis-associated barrier damage as demonstrated by transepidermal water loss, erythema, and filaggrin expression. Furthermore, infiltration of inflammatory cells and epidermal thickness in the skin were decreased. Panduratin A decreased serum immunoglobulin (Ig) E and interleukin-4 levels but increased IgG2a and interferon-γ levels. In addition, panduratin A decreased inflammation-associated molecules in the skin. Panduratin A also decreased Th2-associated molecules and increased Th1/regulatory T cell (Treg)-associated molecules in the spleen.Significance
Panduratin A showed a beneficial effect on AD by modulating Th1/Th2/Treg-associated immune response and is a potential candidate for treating AD. 相似文献9.

Background
We previously showed that blood serum induced cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) monooxygenase expression in vitro.Objective
Our purpose was (i) to identify the molecular mechanism involved and (ii) to characterize the inducer compound(s) in serum involved at least in part.Methods
Serum was fractionated on hydrophobic columns. PPARα involvement was demonstrated by gene reporter assays, DNA mutagenesis and EMSA. Gene expression was evaluated by qRT-PCR. Serum samples were analyzed using HS-SPME-GC-MS.Results
The inductive effect of serum did not depend on the AhR pathway and was enhanced by cotransfection of PPARα cDNA. Mutations in the PPAR response elements of the CYP1A1 gene promoter suppressed this effect. One of the PPRE sites appeared highly specific for human PPARα, an unreported PPRE property. A link was found between CYP1A1 inducibility and serum hydrophobic compounds. Characterization of sera showed that hexanal, a metabolite produced by peroxidation of linoleic acid, was involved in CYP1A1 induction by serum, possibly along with other serum entities.Conclusion
We demonstrate that serum induces CYP1A1 via the PPARα pathway and that hexanal is one of the serum inducers. The two PPRE sites within the CYP1A1 promoter are functional and one of them is specific for PPARα. 相似文献13.
