Abstract: | To investigate the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) alpha and beta in the differentiation of colon cancer cells, we differentiated HT-29 cells using sodium butyrate (NaB) and culturing post-confluence and assessed differentiation using the marker intestinal alkaline phosphatase. While PPARalpha levels only changed with culturing post confluence, PPARbeta levels increased independent of the method of differentiation. To explore further the differences induced by NaB, we assessed changes in both PPAR isoforms in MCF-7 breast cancer cells cultured in the presence of NaB over 48h. Again a very different expression pattern was observed with PPARalpha increasing after 4h and remaining elevated, while PPARbeta increased transiently. Our studies suggest that the expression of PPARs is dependent upon both the method of differentiation and on time. Moreover, these studies show that changes in PPARalpha levels are not required for the differentiation of colon cancer cell lines, whereas changes in PPARbeta are more closely associated with differentiation. |
