Ectopic expression of porcine peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta regulates adipogenesis in mouse myoblasts.
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) plays a critical role in regulating adipogenesis. The expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARdelta) precedes that of PPARgamma during adipocyte differentiation in rodents. The current experiment was designed to study the function of porcine PPARdelta and the interaction of PPARdelta and PPARgamma in adipocyte differentiation. Inhibition of myogenesis was observed in mouse myoblasts expressing porcine PPARdelta, similar to myoblasts expressing PPARgamma. Treatment of myoblasts expressing PPARdelta with ligands for both PPARdelta and PPARgamma enhanced lipogenesis and adipogenesis to a greater extent than treatment with a PPARgamma ligand alone, suggesting that both genes were involved in regulating lipogenesis and adipogenesis. The ability to transdifferentiate myoblasts into adipocytes was decreased in myoblasts coexpressing PPARdelta with either wild type or mutated PPARgamma (Ser 112 was mutated to Ala; the mutated PPARgamma is more active than the wild type) compared with myoblasts expressing PPARgamma alone. Adipocyte differentiation in myoblasts coexpressing PPARdelta and mutated PPARgamma was greater than in myoblasts coexpressing PPARdelta and wild type PPARgamma, confirming that Ser 112 is important for the function of PPARgamma. Taken together, our results demonstrate that overexpression of PPARdelta inhibits myotube formation and also enhances adipocyte differentiation. However, the complexity and interaction of PPARdelta and PPARgamma in adipogenesis are not clearly understood.
