Abstract

The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a ligand-regulated nuclear receptor superfamily member. Liganded PPARγ exerts diverse biological effects, promoting adipocyte differentiation, inhibiting tumor cellular proliferation, and regulating monocyte/macrophage and anti-inflammatory activities in vitro. In vivo studies with PPARγ ligands showed enhancement of tumor growth, raising the possibility that reduced immune function and tumor surveillance may outweigh the direct inhibitory effects of PPARγ ligands on cellular proliferation. Recent findings that PPARγ ligands convey PPARγ-independent activities through IκB kinase (IKK) raises important questions about the specific mechanisms through which PPARγ ligands inhibit cellular proliferation. We investigated the mechanisms regulating the antiproliferative effect of PPARγ. Herein PPARγ, liganded by either natural (15d-PGJ2 and PGD2) or synthetic ligands (BRL49653 and troglitazone), selectively inhibited expression of the cyclin D1 gene. The inhibition of S-phase entry and activity of the cyclin D1-dependent serine-threonine kinase (Cdk) by 15d-PGJ2 was not observed in PPARγ-deficient cells. Cyclin D1 overexpression reversed the S-phase inhibition by 15d-PGJ2. Cyclin D1 repression was independent of IKK, as prostaglandins (PGs) which bound PPARγ but lacked the IKK interactive cyclopentone ring carbonyl group repressed cyclin D1. Cyclin D1 repression by PPARγ involved competition for limiting abundance of p300, directed through a c-Fos binding site of the cyclin D1 promoter. 15d-PGJ2 enhanced recruitment of p300 to PPARγ but reduced binding to c-Fos. The identification of distinct pathways through which eicosanoids regulate anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative effects may improve the utility of COX2 inhibitors.
