Abstract

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a family of fatty acid-activated transcription factors which control lipid homeostasis and cellular differentiation. PPARalpha (NR1C1) controls lipid oxidation and clearance in hepatocytes and PPARgamma (NR1C3) promotes preadipocyte differentiation and lipogenesis. Drugs that activate PPARalpha are effective in lowering plasma levels of lipids and have been used in the management of hyperlipidemia. PPARgamma agonists increase insulin sensitivity and are used in the management of type 2 diabetes. In contrast, there are no marketed drugs that selectively target PPARdelta (NR1C2) and the physiological roles of PPARdelta are unclear. In this report we demonstrate that the expression of PPARdelta is increased during the differentiation of human macrophages in vitro. In addition, a highly selective agonist of PPARdelta (compound F) promotes lipid accumulation in primary human macrophages and in macrophages derived from the human monocytic cell line, THP-1. Compound F increases the expression of genes involved in lipid uptake and storage such as the class A and B scavenger receptors (SRA, CD36) and adipophilin. PPARdelta activation also represses key genes involved in lipid metabolism and efflux, i.e. cholesterol 27-hydroxylase and apolipoprotein E. We have generated THP-1 sublines that overexpress PPARdelta and have confirmed that PPARdelta is a powerful promoter of macrophage lipid accumulation. These data suggest that PPARdelta may play a role in the pathology of diseases associated with lipid-filled macrophages, such as atherosclerosis, arthritis, and neurodegeneration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
