Troglitazone activates TRPV1 and causes deacetylation of PPAR? in 3T3-L1 cells.

ABSTRACT: Published research suggests that activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily 1 (TRPV1) enhances the expression and deacetylation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) to cause browning of white adipose tissue. Here, we show that TRPV1 activation by capsaicin significantly prevents high fat diet-induced obesity in mice. This is associated with an increase in the expression and deacetylation of PPAR? in the epididymal fat of these mice. Consistent with the TRPV1 activation in vivo, overexpression of TRPV1 enhanced the PPAR? and other thermogenic genes in cultured 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. To determine the interaction between TRPV1 and PPAR? signaling, we analyzed the effect of Troglitazone (Trog; a thiazolidinedione derivative and an agonist of PAAR?) treatment on cultured 3T3-L1 cells. Trog enhanced the expression of TRPV1, PPAR? and thermogenic proteins in undifferentiated 3T3-L1 cells but not in differentiated cells. Acute application of Trog stimulated a robust Ca2+ influx into 3T3-L1 cells and TRPV1 inhibition by capsazepine prevented this. More interestingly, Trog or capsaicin treatment caused the deacetylation of PPAR? in 3T3-L1 cells and inhibition of TRPV1 or Sirtuin 1 - prevented this. Our data suggest a novel effect of Trog to induce PPAR? deacetylation by activating TRPV1. This research has a significant implication on the role of TRPV1 and PPAR? signaling in the browning of white adipose tissue.
