Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor beta/delta (PPARβ/δ) is a nuclear receptor ubiquitously expressed in cells, whose signaling controls inflammation. There are large discrepancies in understanding the complex role of PPARβ/δ in disease, having both anti- and pro-effects on inflammation. After ligand activation, PPARβ/δ regulates genes by two different mechanisms; induction and transrepression, the effects of which are difficult to differentiate directly. We studied the PPARβ/δ-regulation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced inflammation (indicated by release of nitrite and IL-6) of rat pulmonary artery, using different combinations of agonists (GW0742 or L-165402) and antagonists (GSK3787 or GSK0660). LPS induced release of NO and IL-6 is not significantly reduced by incubation with PPARβ/δ ligands (either agonist or antagonist), however, co-incubation with an agonist and antagonist significantly reduces LPS-induced nitrite production and Nos2 mRNA expression. In contrast, incubation with LPS and PPARβ/δ agonists leads to a significant increase in Pdk-4 and Angptl-4 mRNA expression, which is significantly decreased in the presence of PPARβ/δ antagonists. Docking using computational chemistry methods indicates that PPARβ/δ agonists form polar bonds with His287, His413 and Tyr437, while antagonists are more promiscuous about which amino acids they bind to, although they are very prone to bind Thr252 and Asn307. Dual binding in the PPARβ/δ binding pocket indicates the ligands retain similar binding energies, which suggests that co-incubation with both agonist and antagonist does not prevent the specific binding of each other to the large PPARβ/δ binding pocket. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the possibility of binding two ligands simultaneously into the PPARβ/δ binding pocket has been explored. Agonist binding followed by antagonist simultaneously switches the PPARβ/δ mode of action from induction to transrepression, which is linked with an increase in Nos2 mRNA expression and nitrite production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease in obese individuals with type 2 diabetes is often associated with hyperleptinemia and leptin resistance, while other studies support that leptin has cardioprotective effects. Besides, the role of leptin in regulating cardiac atrophy or hypertrophy remains to be clearly defined. In fact, in rats with normal leptin sensitivity, the molecular underpinnings of the effects of central leptin regulating cardiac structural pathways remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE Hence, we assessed the effects of intracerebroventricular (icv) leptin infusion on cardiac remodeling analyzing FOXO1/3 and mTORC1 pathways, focusing special attention to PPARβ/δ as mediator of central leptin's effects on cardiac metabolism. METHODS Male 3-months-old Wistar rats, infused with icv leptin (0.2 μg/day) for 7 days, were daily co-treated intraperitoneally with the specific PPARβ/δ antagonist GSK0660, at 1 mg/kg per day along leptin treatment. RESULTS Central leptin regulated dynamically, in an opposite manner, the network between FOXOs and mTORC1 and induced an atrophy-related gene program in cardiac tissue. Leptin activated the anti-hypertrophic kinase GSK3β and increased the protein levels of muscle-specific ubiquitin ligases, muscle RING finger 1 (MuRF1) and muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx)/Atrogin-1 involved in limiting cardiac hypertrophy. FOXO1 activity and the expression of their target genes, Sod2 and Lpl, were also increased in the heart upon central leptin infusion. Besides, Beclin-1 and LC3B-II, gene products of the autophagic pathway response, were upregulated, while the content and expression levels of phenotypic markers of cardiac hypertrophy as ANP and β-myosin heavy chain, gene product of Myh7 were significantly decreased. On the other hand, mTORC1 activity and OXPHOS protein levels were decreased suggesting a key role of central leptin preventing cardiac oxidative stress. In fact, the content of carbonylated proteins, TBARS and ROS/RSN were not increased in cardiac tissue in response to central leptin infusion. Finally, the pharmacological inhibition of PPARβ/δ, via in vivo administration of the selective antagonist GSK0660, blunted the induction of FOXO1/3, Atrogin-1, MuRF1 and GSK3β in the heart mediated by icv leptin infusion. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that, in lean rats with normal leptin sensitivity, central leptin regulates nutrient sensing pathways in heart contributing to balance cardiac remodeling through the anti- and pro-hypertrophic programs, and in this process is involved PPARβ/δ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sorghum bicolor (SB) is rich in protective phytoconstituents with health benefits and regarded as a promising source of natural anti-diabetic substance. However, its comprehensive bioactive compound(s) and mechanism(s) against type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have not been exposed. Hence, we implemented network pharmacology to identify its key compounds and mechanism(s) against T2DM. METHODS Compounds in SB were explored through GC-MS and screened by Lipinski's rule. Genes associated with the selected compounds or T2DM were extracted from public databases, and the overlapping genes between SB-compound related genes and T2DM target genes were identified using Venn diagram. Then, the networking between selected compounds and overlapping genes was constructed, visualized, and analyzed by RStudio. Finally, affinity between compounds and genes was evaluated via molecular docking. RESULTS GC-MS analysis of SB detected a total of 20 compounds which were accepted by the Lipinski's rule. A total number of 16 compounds-related genes and T2DM-related genes (4,763) were identified, and 81 overlapping genes between them were selected. Gene set enrichment analysis exhibited that the mechanisms of SB against T2DM were associated with 12 signaling pathways, and the key mechanism might be to control blood glucose level by activating PPAR signaling pathway. Furthermore, the highest affinities were noted between four main compounds and six genes (FABP3-Propyleneglyco monoleate, FABP4-25-Oxo-27-norcholesterol, NR1H3-Campesterol, PPARA-β-sitosterol, PPARD-β-sitosterol, and PPARG-β-sitosterol). CONCLUSION Our study overall suggests that the four key compounds detected in SB might ameliorate T2DM severity by activating the PPAR signaling pathway.

Abstract
CONTEXT Implantation is a reproductive bottleneck in women, regulated by fluctuations in ovarian steroid hormone concentrations. However, other nuclear receptor ligands are modifiers of endometrial differentiation leading to successful pregnancy. In the present study we analyzed the effects of peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARβ/δ) activation on established cellular biomarkers of human endometrial differentiation (decidualization). OBJECTIVE The objective of this work is to test the effects of PPARβ/δ ligation on human endometrial cell differentiation. DESIGN Isolated primary human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) were treated with synthetic (GW0742) or natural (all trans-retinoic acid, RA) ligands of PPARβ/δ, and also with receptor antagonists (GSK0660, PT-S58, and ST247) in the absence or presence of decidualizing hormones (10 nM estradiol, 100 nM progesterone, and 0.5 mM dibutyryl cAMP [3',5'-cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate]). In some cases interleukin (IL)-1β was used as an inflammatory stimulus. Time course and dose-response relationships were evaluated to determine effects on panels of well characterized in vitro biomarkers of decidualization. RESULTS PPARβ/δ, along with estrogen receptor α (ERα) and PR-A and PR-B, were expressed in human endometrial tissue and isolated ESCs. GW0742 treatment enhanced hormone-mediated ESC decidualization in vitro as manifested by upregulation of prolactin, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1, IL-11, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion and also increased expression of ERα, PR-A and PR-B, and connexin 43 (Cx43). RA treatment also increased VEGF, ERα, PR-A, and PR-B and an active, nonphosphorylated isoform of Cx43. IL-1β and PPARβ/δ antagonists inhibited biomarkers of endometrial differentiation. CONCLUSION Ligands that activate PPARβ/δ augment the in vitro expression of biomarkers of ESC decidualization. By contrast, PPARβ/δ antagonists impaired decidualization markers. Drugs activating these receptors may have therapeutic benefits for embryonic implantation.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors with three isoforms (PPARα, PPARβ/δ, PPARγ) and can regulate pain, anxiety, and cognition. However, their role in conditioned fear and pain-fear interactions has not yet been investigated. Here, we investigated the effects of systemically administered PPAR antagonists on formalin-evoked nociceptive behaviour, fear-conditioned analgesia (FCA), and conditioned fear in the presence of nociceptive tone in rats. Twenty-three and a half hours following fear conditioning to context, male Sprague-Dawley rats received an intraplantar injection of formalin and intraperitoneal administration of vehicle, PPARα (GW6471), PPARβ/δ (GSK0660) or PPARγ (GW9662) antagonists, and 30 min later were re-exposed to the conditioning arena for 15 min. The PPAR antagonists did not alter nociceptive behaviour or fear-conditioned analgesia. The PPARα and PPARβ/δ antagonists prolonged context-induced freezing in the presence of nociceptive tone without affecting its initial expression. The PPARγ antagonist potentiated freezing over the entire trial. In conclusion, pharmacological blockade of PPARα and PPARβ/δ in the presence of formalin-evoked nociceptive tone, impaired short-term, within-trial fear-extinction in rats without affecting pain response, while blockade of PPARγ potentiated conditioned fear responding. These results suggest that endogenous signalling through these three PPAR isoforms may reduce the expression of conditioned fear in the presence of nociceptive tone.

Abstract
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease, and its pathogenesis and mechanism are intricate. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the role of PPAR δ in LPS associated NAFLD and to investigate the signal transduction pathways underlying PPAR δ treatment in vitro. Material and Methods: L02 cells were exposed to palmitic acid (PA) and/or LPS in the absence or presence of PPAR δ inhibition and/or activation. Results: LPS treatment markedly increased lipid deposition, FFA contents, IL-6 and TNF-α levels, and cell apoptosis in PA treatment (NAFLD model). PPAR δ inhibition protects L02 cells against LPS-induced lipidosis and injury. Conversely, the result of PPAR δ activation showed the reverse trend. LPS+PA treatment group significantly decreases the relative expression level of IRS-1, PI3K, AKT, phosphorylation of AKT, TLR-4, MyD88, phosphorylation of IKKα, NF-κB, Bcl-2 and increases the relative expression level of Bax, cleaved caspase 3 and cleaved caspase 8, compared with the cells treated with NAFLD model. PPAR δ inhibition upregulated the related proteins' expression level in insulin resistance and inflammation pathway and downregulated apoptotic relevant proteins. Instead, PPAR δ agonist showed the reverse trend. Conclusion: Our data show that PPAR δ inhibition reduces steatosis, inflammation and apoptosis in LPS-related NAFLD damage, in vitro. PPAR δ may be a potential therapeutic implication for NAFLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) is a hallmark of endothelial dysfunction. A deficiency of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4 ) causes endothelial NOS to produce ROS rather than NO. PPARδ is an emerging target for pharmacological intervention of endothelial dysfunction. Thus, the present study examined the role of PPARδ in the regulation of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), a key enzyme in the BH4 salvage pathway. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Gene expression was measured by using qRT-PCR and western blotting. Biopterins and ROS were determined by using HPLC. NO was measured with fluorescent dye and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Vasorelaxation was measured by Multi Myograph System. KEY RESULTS The PPARδ agonist GW501516 increased DHFR and BH4 levels in endothelial cells (ECs). The effect was blocked by PPARδ antagonist GSK0660. Chromatin immunoprecipitation identified PPAR-responsive elements within the 5'-flanking region of the human DHFR gene. The promoter activity was examined with luciferase assays using deletion reporters. Importantly, DHFR expression was suppressed by palmitic acid (PA, a saturated fatty acid) but increased by docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, a polyunsaturated fatty acid). GSK0660 prevented DHA-induced increased DHFR expression. Conversely, the suppressive effect of PA was mitigated by GW501516. In mouse aortae, GW501516 ameliorated the PA-impaired EDR. However, this vasoprotective effect was attenuated by DHFR siRNA or methotrexate. In EC-specific Ppard knockout mice, GW501516 failed to improve vasorelaxation. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS PPARδ prevented endothelial dysfunction by increasing DHFR and activating the BH4 salvage pathway. These results provide a novel mechanism for the protective roles of PPARδ against vascular diseases.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) δ plays a pivotal role in metabolic homeostasis through its effect on insulin signaling. Although diverse genomic actions of PPARδ are postulated, the specific molecular mechanisms whereby PPARδ controls insulin signaling have not been fully elucidated. We demonstrate here that short-term activation of PPARδ results in the formation of a stable complex with nuclear T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase 45 (TCPTP45) isoform. This interaction of PPARδ with TCPTP45 blocked translocation of TCPTP45 into the cytoplasm, thereby preventing its interaction with the insulin receptor, which inhibits insulin signaling. Interaction of PPARδ with TCPTP45 blunted interleukin 6-induced insulin resistance, leading to retention of TCPTP45 in the nucleus, thereby facilitating deactivation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)-suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) signal. Finally, GW501516-activated PPARδ improved insulin signaling and glucose intolerance in mice fed a high-fat diet through its interaction with TCPTP45. This novel interaction of PPARδ constitutes the most upstream component identified of the mechanism downregulating insulin signaling.

Abstract
The role of central leptin in regulating the heart from lipid accumulation in lean leptin-sensitive animals has not been fully elucidated. Herein, we investigated the effects of central leptin infusion on the expression of genes involved in cardiac metabolism and its role in the control of myocardial triacylglyceride (TAG) accumulation in adult Wistar rats. Intracerebroventricular (icv) leptin infusion (0.2 µg/day) for 7 days markedly decreased TAG levels in cardiac tissue. Remarkably, the cardiac anti-steatotic effects of central leptin were associated with the selective upregulation of gene and protein expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARβ/δ, encoded by Pparb/d) and their target genes, adipose triglyceride lipase (encoded by Pnpla2, herefater referred to as Atgl), hormone sensitive lipase (encoded by Lipe, herefater referred to as Hsl), pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (Pdk4) and acyl CoA oxidase 1 (Acox1), involved in myocardial intracellular lipolysis and mitochondrial/peroxisomal fatty acid utilization. Besides, central leptin decreased the expression of stearoyl-CoA deaturase 1 (Scd1) and diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (Dgat1) involved in TAG synthesis and increased the CPT-1 independent palmitate oxidation, as an index of peroxisomal β-oxidation. Finally, the pharmacological inhibition of PPARβ/δ decreased the effects on gene expression and cardiac TAG content induced by leptin. These results indicate that leptin, acting at central level, regulates selectively the cardiac expression of PPARβ/δ, contributing in this way to regulate the cardiac TAG accumulation in rats, independently of its effects on body weight.

Abstract
Caffeine has been shown to stimulate multiple major regulators of cell energetics including AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). Additionally, caffeine induces peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) and mitochondrial biogenesis. While caffeine enhances oxidative metabolism, experimental concentrations often exceed physiologically attainable concentrations through diet. This work measured the effects of low-level caffeine on cellular metabolism and gene expression in myotubes, as well as the dependence of caffeine's effects on the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor beta/delta (PPARβ/δ). C2C12 myotubes were treated with various doses of caffeine for up to 24 h. Gene and protein expression were measured via qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Cellular metabolism was determined via oxygen consumption and extracellular acidification rate. Caffeine significantly induced regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative metabolism. Mitochondrial staining was suppressed in PPARβ/δ-inhibited cells which was rescued by concurrent caffeine treatment. Caffeine-treated cells also displayed elevated peak oxidative metabolism which was partially abolished following PPARβ/δ inhibition. Similar to past observations, glucose uptake and GLUT4 content were elevated in caffeine-treated cells, however, glycolytic metabolism was unaltered following caffeine treatment. Physiological levels of caffeine appear to enhance cell metabolism through mechanisms partially dependent on PPARβ/δ.

Abstract
The role of the nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARβ/δ) in carcinogenesis is controversial because conflicting studies indicate that it both inhibits and promotes tumorigenesis. In this review, we focus on recent studies on PPARβ/δ including the significance of increased or decreased PPARβ/δ expression in cancers; a range of opposing mechanisms describing how PPARβ/δ agonists, antagonists, and inverse agonists regulate tumorigenesis and/or whether there may be cell context-specific mechanisms; and whether activating or inhibiting PPARβ/δ is feasible for cancer chemoprevention and/or therapy. Research questions that need to be addressed are highlighted to establish whether PPARβ/δ can be effectively targeted for cancer chemoprevention.

Abstract
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARδ) has been implicated in the modulation of vascular homeostasis. However, its roles in the apoptotic cell death of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that PPARδ modulates oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-induced apoptosis of VSMCs through the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling pathways. Activation of PPARδ by GW501516, which is a specific ligand, significantly inhibited oxLDL-induced cell death and generation of reactive oxygen species in VSMCs. These inhibitory effects were significantly reversed in the presence of small interfering (si)RNA against PPARδ, or by blockade of the TGF-β or FAK signaling pathways. Furthermore, PPARδ-mediated recovery of FAK phosphorylation suppressed by oxLDL was reversed by SB431542, a specific ALK5 receptor inhibitor, indicating that a TGF-β/FAK signaling axis is involved in the action of PPARδ. Among the protein kinases activated by oxLDL, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase was suppressed by ligand-activated PPARδ. In addition, oxLDL-induced expression and translocation of pro-apoptotic or anti-apoptotic factors were markedly affected in the presence of GW501516. Those effects were reversed by PPARδ siRNA, or inhibitors of TGF-β or FAK, which also suggests that PPARδ exerts its anti-apoptotic effect via a TGF-β/FAK signaling axis. Taken together, these findings indicate that PPARδ plays an important role in the pathophysiology of disease associated with apoptosis of VSMC, such as atherosclerosis and restanosis.

Abstract
Although non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common human cancer and its incidence continues to rise worldwide, the mechanisms underlying its development remain incompletely understood. Here, we unveil a cascade of events involving peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) β/δ and the oncogene Src, which promotes the development of ultraviolet (UV)-induced skin cancer in mice. UV-induced PPARβ/δ activity, which directly stimulated Src expression, increased Src kinase activity and enhanced the EGFR/Erk1/2 signalling pathway, resulting in increased epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker expression. Consistent with these observations, PPARβ/δ-null mice developed fewer and smaller skin tumours, and a PPARβ/δ antagonist prevented UV-dependent Src stimulation. Furthermore, the expression of PPARβ/δ positively correlated with the expression of SRC and EMT markers in human skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and critically, linear models applied to several human epithelial cancers revealed an interaction between PPARβ/δ and SRC and TGFβ1 transcriptional levels. Taken together, these observations motivate the future evaluation of PPARβ/δ modulators to attenuate the development of several epithelial cancers.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is due to an imbalance between decreased bone formation by osteoblasts and increased resorption by osteoclasts. Deciphering factors controlling bone formation is therefore of utmost importance for the understanding and the treatment of osteoporosis. Our previous in vivo results showed that bone formation is reduced in the absence of the serotonin receptor 5-HT2B, causing impaired osteoblast proliferation, recruitment, and matrix mineralization. In this study, we investigated the signaling pathways responsible for the osteoblast defect in 5-HT2BR(-/-) mice. Notably, we investigated the phospholipase A2 pathway and synthesis of eicosanoids in 5-HT2BR(-/-) compared to wild type (WT) osteoblasts. Compared to control osteoblasts, the lack of 5-HT2B receptors was only associated with a 10-fold over-production of prostacyclin (PGI2). Also, a specific prostacyclin synthase inhibitor (U51605) rescued totally osteoblast aggregation and matrix mineralization in the 5-HT2BR(-/-) osteoblasts without having any effect on WT osteoblasts. Prostacyclin is the endogenous ligand of the nuclear peroxisome proliferator activated receptor ß/δ (PPAR-ß/δ), and its inhibition in 5-HT2BR(-/-) cells rescued totally the alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin mRNA levels, cell-cell adhesion, and matrix mineralization. We conclude that the absence of 5-HT2B receptors leads to the overproduction of prostacyclin, inducing reduced osteoblast differentiation due to PPAR-ß/δ -dependent target regulation and defective cell-cell adhesion and matrix mineralization. This study thus reveals a previously unrecognized cell autonomous osteoblast defect in the absence of 5-HT2BR and highlights a new pathway linking 5-HT2B receptors and nuclear PPAR- ß/δ via prostacyclin.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARδ) is ubiquitously expressed in the vasculature, including cerebral circulation. The role of PPARδ in metabolism of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH₄) has not been studied in the cerebral microvasculature. In the present study, the effects of PPARδ agonist GW501516 on uncoupling of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) were determined in cerebral microvessels of BH₄-deficient hph-1 mice. Wild-type (B6CBA) and hph-1 mice were orally gavaged with a selective PPARδ activator, GW501516 (2 mg/kg/day) for 14 days, and thereafter, cerebral microvessels were isolated and studied. Treatment of hph-1 mice with GW501516 significantly reduced oxidation of BH₄ and increased the ratio of BH₄ to 7,8-BH₂ (P<0.05, n=6-9). Attenuation of L-NAME-inhibitable superoxide anion levels by GW501516 demonstrated that activation of PPARδ might prevent uncoupling of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS, P<0.05, n=6-9). Western blotting studies demonstrated that GW501516 selectively increased the endothelial expressions of CuZn superoxide dismutase (P<0.05, n=6-9) and catalase (P<0.05, n=6-8). PPARδ activation increased the total nitrite and nitrate (NO₂+NO₃) content in cerebral microvessels (P<0.05, n=6). Obtained results suggest that in vivo activation of PPARδ prevents eNOS uncoupling, restores bioavailability of NO and may help preserve endothelial function in the BH₄-deficient cerebral circulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies show that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) increase the insulin secretory capacity of pancreatic β-cells. We aimed at identifying PUFA-derived mediators and their cellular targets that are involved in the amplification of insulin release from β-cells preexposed to high glucose levels. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The content of fatty acids in phospholipids of INS-1E β-cells was determined by lipidomics analysis. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to identify peroxidation products in β-cell cultures. Static and dynamic glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) assays were performed on isolated rat islets and/or INS-1E cells. The function of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ (PPAR-δ) in regulating insulin secretion was investigated using pharmacological agents and gene expression manipulations. RESULTS High glucose activated cPLA(2) and, subsequently, the hydrolysis of arachidonic and linoleic acid (AA and LA, respectively) from phospholipids in INS-1E cells. Glucose also increased the level of reactive oxygen species, which promoted the peroxidation of these PUFAs to generate 4-hydroxy-2E-nonenal (4-HNE). The latter mimicked the GSIS-amplifying effect of high glucose preexposure and of the PPAR-δ agonist GW501516 in INS-1E cells and isolated rat islets. These effects were blocked with GSK0660, a selective PPAR-δ antagonist, and the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine or by silencing PPAR-δ expression. High glucose, 4-HNE, and GW501516 also induced luciferase expression in a PPAR-δ-mediated transactivation assay. Cytotoxic effects of 4-HNE were observed only above the physiologically effective concentration range. CONCLUSIONS Elevated glucose levels augment the release of AA and LA from phospholipids and their peroxidation to 4-HNE in β-cells. This molecule is an endogenous ligand for PPAR-δ, which amplifies insulin secretion in β-cells.

Abstract
The present study is designed to investigate the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors delta (PPARdelta) in the action of digoxin in diabetic rats showing cardiac hypertrophy. We used Wistar rats to induce diabetes by injection of streptozotocin (STZ-rat) and examined the effect of digoxin on PPARdelta expression in these hyperglycemic rats (STZ-rat) at 10 weeks later. We measured the changes of body weight, water intake, and food intake in three groups of age-matched rats; the vehicle treated normal control (Wistar rats), the vehicle treated STZ-rats, and the digoxin-treated STZ-rats. Cardiac output, heart rate, and blood pressure in addition to plasma insulin or glucose level were also determined. The mRNA and protein levels of PPARdelta were measured using Northern and Western blotting, respectively. Cardiac output, heart rate, and blood pressure were markedly reduced while food intake, water intake, and blood glucose were raised in STZ-rats showing lower body weight and plasma insulin as compared with the vehicle-treated controls. After a 20-day of digoxin treatment, cardiac output was raised in STZ-rats but the diabetic parameters were not modified. The PPARdelta expressions, both mRNA and protein, were markedly elevated in the hearts of STZ-rats by digoxin treatment. The related signals with PPARdelta, such as carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B (CPT1B), acetyl-coenzyme A, carboxylase alpha (ACC1), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and troponin I, were also raised. The increase of cardiac output by digoxin was reversed by the combined treatment with PPARdelta antagonist GSK0660. Thus, we suggest a new finding that PPARdelta is involved in digoxin induced cardiac inrotropic action.

Abstract
C2C12 cells exposed to hyperthermia (41 degrees C) experienced an increase in both protein synthesis and degradation. The addition of IL15 under hyperthermic conditions resulted in an important increase in protein synthesis with no changes in protein degradation, except when cells overexpressed PPARdelta. The PPARdelta agonist GW501516 exerted similar effects on protein synthesis to IL15. Expression of a mutant dominant negative form of PPARdelta prevented the effect of the cytokine on protein synthesis, suggesting that this transcription factor is involved in the anabolic action of IL15. The present study also suggests that the effects of IL15 on lipid oxidation could be mediated by PPARdelta.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid is a potential paracrine agent released by the uterine endometrial epithelium to induce PTGS2 [PG (prostaglandin)-endoperoxide synthase 2] in the stroma. In the present study, bovine endometrial stromal cells were used to determine whether PTGS2 is induced by arachidonic acid in stromal cells, and to investigate the potential role of PPARs (peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors) in this effect. Arachidonic acid increased PTGS2 levels up to 7.5-fold within 6 h. The cells expressed PPARalpha and PPARdelta (also known as PPARbeta) (but not PPARgamma). PTGS2 protein level was increased by PPAR agonists, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, synthetic PPAR ligands, PGA1 and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) with a time course resembling that of arachidonic acid. Use of agonists and antagonists indicated PPARalpha (but not PPARdelta or PPARgamma) was responsible for PTGS2 induction. PTGS2 induction by arachidonic acid did not require PG synthesis. PTGS2 levels were increased by the PKC (protein kinase C) activators 4beta-PMA and PGF(2alpha), and the effects of arachidonic acid, NSAIDs, synthetic PPAR ligands and 4beta-PMA were blocked by PKC inhibitors. This is consistent with PPAR phosphorylation by PKC. Induction of PTGS2 protein by 4beta-PMA in the absence of a PPAR ligand was decreased by the NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappaB) inhibitors MG132 and parthenolide, suggesting that PKC acted through NF-kappaB in addition to PPAR phosphorylation. Use of NF-kappaB inhibitors allowed the action of arachidonic acid as a PPAR agonist to be dissociated from an effect through PKC. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that arachidonic acid acts via PPARalpha to increase PTGS2 levels in bovine endometrial stromal cells.

Abstract
The underlying causes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are unclear, and treatment options for patients with advanced disease are limited. There is evidence that the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is associated with decreased risk of developing EOC. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2, which catalyze prostaglandin biosynthesis. We previously showed that mouse and human EOCs have increased levels of COX-1, but not COX-2, and a COX-1-selective inhibitor, SC-560, attenuates prostaglandin production and tumor growth. However, the downstream targets of COX-1 signaling in EOC are not yet known. To address this question, we evaluated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARdelta) expression and function in EOC. We found that EOC cells express high levels of PPARdelta, and neutralizing PPARdelta function reduces tumor growth in vivo. More interestingly, aspirin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that preferentially inhibits COX-1, compromises PPARdelta function and cell growth by inhibiting extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2, members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family. Our study, for the first time, shows that whereas PPARdelta can be a target of COX-1, extracellular signal-regulated kinase is a potential target of PPARdelta. The ability of aspirin to inhibit EOC growth in vivo is an exciting finding because of its low cost, lack of cardiovascular side effects, and availability.

Abstract
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) family comprises three distinct isotypes: PPARalpha, PPARbeta/delta and PPARgamma. PPARs are nuclear hormone receptors that mediate the effects of fatty acids and their derivatives at the transcriptional level. Until recently, the characterisation of the important role of PPARalpha in fatty acid oxidation and of PPARgamma in lipid storage contrasted with the sparse information concerning PPARbeta/delta. However, evidence is now emerging for a role of PPARbeta/delta in tissue repair and energy homeostasis. Experiments with tissue-specific overexpression of PPARbeta/delta or treatment of mice with selective PPARbeta/delta agonists demonstrated that activation of PPARbeta/delta in vivo increases lipid catabolism in skeletal muscle, heart and adipose tissue and improves the serum lipid profile and insulin sensitivity in several animal models. PPARbeta/delta activation also prevents the development of obesity and improves cholesterol homeostasis in obesity-prone mouse models. These new insights into PPARbeta/delta functions suggest that targeting PPARbeta/delta may be helpful for treating disorders associated with the metabolic syndrome. Although these perspectives are promising, several independent and contradictory reports raise concerns about the safety of PPARbeta/delta ligands with respect to tumourigenic activity in the gut. Thus, it appears that further exploration of PPARbeta/delta functions is necessary to better define its potential as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcription factors that strongly influence molecular events in normal and cancer cells. PPAR-beta/delta (PPAR-b/d) overexpression suppresses the activity of PPAR-gamma (PPAR-g) and PPAR-alpha. This interaction has been questioned, however, by studies with synthetic ligands of PPARs in PPAR-b/d-null cells, and it is not known whether an interaction between PPAR-b/d and PPAR-g exists, especially in relation to the signaling by natural PPAR ligands. Oxidative metabolites of linoleic and arachidonic acids are natural ligands of PPARs. 13-S-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-S-HODE), the main product of 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) metabolism of linoleic acid, downregulates PPAR-b/d. We tested (a) whether PPAR-b/d expression modulates PPAR-g activity in experimental models of the loss and gain of PPAR-b/d function in colon cancer cells and (b) whether 15-LOX-1 formation of 13-S-HODE influences the interaction between PPAR-b/d and PPAR-g. We found that (a) 15-LOX-1 formation of 13-S-HODE promoted PPAR-g activity, (b) PPAR-b/d expression suppressed PPAR-g activity in models of both loss and gain of PPAR-b/d function, (c) 15-LOX-1 activated PPAR-g by downregulating PPAR-b/d, and (d) 15-LOX-1 expression induced apoptosis in colon cancer cells via modulating PPAR-b/d suppression of PPAR-g. These findings elucidate a novel mechanism of the signaling by natural ligands of PPARs, which involves modulating the interaction between PPAR-b/d and PPAR-g.

Abstract
It has been assumed that prostaglandin (PG)I2 signaling contributes to the negative growth control of lung cancer cells; however, the mechanism remains unresolved. PGI2 functions through a cell surface G protein-coupled receptor (prostaglandin I2-binding receptor, IP) and also exerts an effect by interacting with a nuclear hormone receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARdelta). We found that PPARdelta was a key molecule of PGI2 signaling to give negative growth control of lung cancer cells (A549), using carbarprostacyclin, a PGI2 agonist for IP and PPARdelta, and L-165041, a PPARdelta agonist. Furthermore, PPARdelta-induced cell growth control was reinforced by the inhibition of cyclooxygenase. These results suggest that PPARdelta activation under the suppression of PG synthesis is important to regulate lung cancer cell growth.
