Common genetic variants in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARG) and type 2 diabetes risk among Women's Health Initiative postmenopausal women.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARG) plays a pivotal role in adipogenesis and glucose homeostasis.

Objective

We investigated whether PPARG gene variants were associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk in the multiethnic Women's Health Initiative (WHI).

Research design and methods

We assessed PPARG single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a case-control study nested in the prospective WHI observational study (WHI-OS) (1543 T2D cases and 2170 matched controls). After identifying 24 tagSNPs, we used multivariable logistic regression models and haplotype-based analyses to estimate these tagSNP-T2D associations. Single-SNP analyses were also conducted in another study of 5642 African American and Hispanic American women in the WHI SNP Health Association Resource (WHI-SHARe).

Results

We found a borderline significant association between the Pro12Ala (rs1801282) variant and T2D risk in WHI-OS [odds ratio (OR) 0.51, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.31-0.83, P = .01, combined group, additive model; P = .04, Hispanic American] and WHI-SHARe (OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.08-0.77, P = .02, Hispanic American) participants. In promoter region, rs6809631, rs9817428, rs10510411, rs12629293, and rs12636454 were also associated with T2D risk (range ORs 0.68-0.78, 95% CIs 0.52-0.91 to 0.60-1.00, P ≤ .05) in WHI-OS, in which rs9817428 was replicated in then WHI-SHARe Hispanic American group (P = .04).

Conclusions

The association between PPARG Pro12Ala SNP and increased T2D susceptibility was confirmed, with Pro12 as risk allele. Additional significant loci included 5 PPARG promoter variants.

Project description:Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) is abundantly expressed in atherosclerotic lesions and is implicated in atherogenesis. The existence of three splice variants, PPAR-gamma 1, PPAR-gamma 2, and PPAR-gamma 3 has been established. Using monocyte-derived macrophages from cynomolgus monkeys, we demonstrate here the identification of two new PPAR-gamma exons, exon C and exon D, which splice together with already established exons A1, A2, and B in the 5(') terminal region to generate four novel PPAR-gamma subtypes, PPAR-gamma 4, -gamma 5, -gamma 6, and -gamma 7. PPAR-gamma 4 and gamma 5 were detected only in macrophages whereas gamma 6 and gamma 7 were expressed both in macrophages and adipose tissues. None of these novel isoforms were detected in muscle, kidney, and spleen from monkeys. We found sequences identical to exons C and D in the human genome database. These and all PPAR-gamma exons known to date are encoded by a single gene, located from region 10498 K to 10384 K on human chromosome 3. We cloned and expressed PPAR-gamma 1, PPAR-gamma 4, and PPAR-gamma 5 proteins in yeast using the expression vector pPICZB. As expected, all recombinant proteins showed a molecular weight of approximately 50 kDa. We also investigated the effect of a high-fat diet on the level of macrophage PPAR-gamma expression in monkeys. RT-PCR showed a significant increase in total PPAR-gamma and ABCA1 mRNA levels in macrophages of fat-fed monkeys (n=7) compared to those maintained on a normal diet (n=2). However, none of the novel isoforms seemed to be induced by fat-feeding. We used tetracycline-responsive expression vectors to obtain moderate expression of PPAR-gamma 4 and -gamma 5 in CHO cells. In these cells, expression of PPAR-gamma 5 but not -gamma 4 repressed the expression of ABCA1. Neither isoform modulated the expression of lipoprotein lipase. Our results suggest that individual PPAR-gamma isoforms may be responsible for unique tissue-specific biological effects and that PPAR-gamma 4 and -gamma 5 may modulate macrophage function and atherogenesis.
