Abstract

Objective— The role of the nuclear receptor peroxisome-proliferator activated receptor (PPAR)-β/δ in endothelial cells remains unclear. Interestingly, the selective PPARβ/δ ligand GW501516 is in phase II clinical trials for dyslipidemia. Here, using GW501516, we have assessed the involvement of PPARβ/δ in endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Methods and Results— Western blot analysis indicated PPARβ/δ was expressed in primary human umbilical and aortic endothelial cells, and in the endothelial cell line, EAHy926. Treatment with GW501516 increased human endothelial cell proliferation and morphogenesis in cultures in vitro, endothelial cell outgrowth from murine aortic vessels in vitro, and angiogenesis in a murine matrigel plug assay in vivo. GW501516 induced vascular endothelial cell growth factor mRNA and peptide release, as well as adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP), a PPARβ/δ target gene. GW501516-induced proliferation, morphogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and ADRP were absent in endothelial cells transfected with dominant-negative PPARβ/δ. Furthermore, treatment of cells with cyclo-VEGFI, a VEGF receptor1/2 antagonist, abolished GW501516-induced endothelial cell proliferation and tube formation. Conclusions— PPARβ/δ is a novel regulator of endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis through VEGF. The use of GW501516 to treat dyslipidemia may need to be carefully monitored in patients susceptible to angiogenic disorders.

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.
