Abstract

Disruption of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) gene causes embryonic lethality due to placental dysfunction. To circumvent this, a PPAR gamma conditional gene knockout mouse was produced by using the Cre-loxP system. The targeted allele, containing loxP sites flanking exon 2 of the PPAR gamma gene, was crossed into a transgenic mouse line expressing Cre recombinase under the control of the alpha/beta interferon-inducible (MX) promoter. Induction of the MX promoter by pIpC resulted in nearly complete deletion of the targeted exon, a corresponding loss of full-length PPAR gamma mRNA transcript and protein, and marked reductions in basal and troglitazone-stimulated expression of the genes encoding lipoprotein lipase, CD36, LXR alpha, and ABCG1 in thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal macrophages. Reductions in the basal levels of apolipoprotein E (apoE) mRNA in macrophages and apoE protein in total plasma and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were also observed in pIpC-treated PPAR gamma-MXCre(+) mice. Basal cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-loaded macrophages to HDL was significantly reduced after disruption of the PPAR gamma gene. Troglitazone selectively inhibited ABCA1 expression (while rosiglitazone, ciglitazone, and pioglitazone had little effect) and cholesterol efflux in both PPAR gamma-deficient and control macrophages, indicating that this drug can exert paradoxical effects on cholesterol homeostasis that are independent of PPAR gamma. Together, these data indicate that PPAR gamma plays a critical role in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis by controlling the expression of a network of genes that mediate cholesterol efflux from cells and its transport in plasma.

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.
