title: Involvement of ZIP/p62 in the regulation of PPARalpha transcriptional activity by p38-MAPK.
abstract: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) belongs to the nuclear receptor family and plays a central role in the regulation of lipid metabolism, glucose homeostasis and inflammatory processes. In addition to its ligand-induced activation, PPARalpha is regulated by phosphorylation via ERK-MAPK, PKA and PKC. In this study we examined the effect of p38-MAPK on PPARalpha transcriptional activity. In COS-7 cells, anisomycin, a p38 activator, induced a dose-dependent phosphorylation of PPARalpha and a 50% inhibition of its transcriptional activity. In H4IIE hepatoma cells, anisomycin-induced p38 phosphorylation decreased both endogenous and PPARalpha ligand-enhanced L-CPTI and ACO gene expression. Interestingly, PPARalpha/p38 interaction required the molecular adapter ZIP/p62. Reducing ZIP/p62 expression by siRNA, partially reversed the inhibitory effect of anisomycin on L-CPTI gene expression. In conclusion, we showed that p38 activation induced PPARalpha phosphorylation and inhibition of its transcriptional activity through a trimeric interaction between p38-MAPK, ZIP/p62 and PPARalpha.
