Hypertension-Causing Mutation in Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ Impairs Nuclear Export of Nuclear Factor-κB p65 in Vascular Smooth Muscle.

ABSTRACT: Selective expression of dominant negative (DN) peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) results in hypertension, atherosclerosis, and increased nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) target gene expression. Mesenteric SMC were cultured from mice designed to conditionally express wild-type (WT) or DN-PPARγ in response to Cre recombinase to determine how SMC PPARγ regulates expression of NF-κB target inflammatory genes. SMC-specific overexpression of WT-PPARγ or agonist-induced activation of endogenous PPARγ blunted tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)-induced NF-κB target gene expression and activity of an NF-κB-responsive promoter. TNF-α-induced gene expression responses were enhanced by DN-PPARγ in SMC. Although expression of NF-κB p65 was unchanged, nuclear export of p65 was accelerated by WT-PPARγ and prevented by DN-PPARγ in SMC. Leptomycin B, a nuclear export inhibitor, blocked p65 nuclear export and inhibited the anti-inflammatory action of PPARγ. Consistent with a role in facilitating p65 nuclear export, WT-PPARγ coimmunoprecipitated with p65, and WT-PPARγ was also exported from the nucleus after TNF-α treatment. Conversely, DN-PPARγ does not bind to p65 and was retained in the nucleus after TNF-α treatment. Transgenic mice expressing WT-PPARγ or DN-PPARγ specifically in SMC (S-WT or S-DN) were bred with mice expressing luciferase controlled by an NF-κB-responsive promoter to assess effects on NF-κB activity in whole tissue. TNF-α-induced NF-κB activity was decreased in aorta and carotid artery from S-WT but was increased in vessels from S-DN mice. We conclude that SMC PPARγ blunts expression of proinflammatory genes by inhibition of NF-κB activity through a mechanism promoting nuclear export of p65, which is abolished by DN mutation in PPARγ.

Project description:UnlabelledCystic fibrosis-associated liver disease is a chronic cholangiopathy that negatively affects the quality of life of cystic fibrosis patients. In addition to reducing biliary chloride and bicarbonate secretion, up-regulation of toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor kappa light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB)-dependent immune mechanisms plays a major role in the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis-associated liver disease and may represent a therapeutic target. Nuclear receptors are transcription factors that regulate several intracellular functions. Some nuclear receptors, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ), may counterregulate inflammation in a tissue-specific manner. In this study, we explored the anti-inflammatory effect of PPAR-γ stimulation in vivo in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (Cftr) knockout mice exposed to dextran sodium sulfate and in vitro in primary cholangiocytes isolated from wild-type and from Cftr-knockout mice exposed to lipopolysaccharide. We found that in CFTR-defective biliary epithelium expression of PPAR-γ is increased but that this does not result in increased receptor activity because the availability of bioactive ligands is reduced. Exogenous administration of synthetic agonists of PPAR-γ (pioglitazone and rosiglitazone) up-regulates PPAR-γ-dependent genes, while inhibiting the activation of NF-κB and the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines (lipopolysaccharide-induced CXC chemokine, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, macrophage inflammatory protein-2, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, keratinocyte chemoattractant) in response to lipopolysaccharide. PPAR-γ agonists modulate NF-κB-dependent inflammation by up-regulating nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells inhibitor alpha, a negative regulator of NF-κB. Stimulation of PPAR-γ in vivo (rosiglitazone) significantly attenuates biliary damage and inflammation in Cftr-knockout mice exposed to a dextran sodium sulfate-induced portal endotoxemia.ConclusionThese studies unravel a novel function of PPAR-γ in controlling biliary epithelium inflammation and suggest that impaired activation of PPAR-γ contributes to the chronic inflammatory state of CFTR-defective cholangiocytes.
