ABSTRACT
Background: Involvement of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor {gamma} (PPAR{gamma}) in the growth response of colon cancer cells has been suggested.

Aims: To investigate the characteristics of PPAR{gamma} induced apoptosis in colon cancer cells.

Methods: The effects of ligands for each of the PPAR subtypes ({alpha}, {delta}, and {gamma}) on DNA synthesis and cell viability were examined in HT-29 colon cancer cells. Modulation of apoptosis related gene expression by PPAR{gamma} ligands was screened with cDNA arrays, and the results were confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis.

Results: PPAR{alpha}, PPAR{delta}, and PPAR{gamma} were all expressed in HT-29 cells. PPAR{gamma} ligands, 15-deoxy-{delta}12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) and troglitazone (TGZ), suppressed DNA synthesis of HT-29 cells whereas ligands for PPAR{alpha} and PPAR{delta} had no significant effects. Both 15d-PGJ2 and TGZ induced HT-29 cell death in a dose dependent manner which was associated with an increase in fragmented DNA and was sensitive to a caspase inhibitor. Among several genes selected by cDNA array screening, quantitative RT-PCR analysis confirmed downregulation of c-myc expression and upregulation of c-jun and gadd153 expression by 15d-PGJ2 and TGZ. PPAR{gamma} induced apoptosis was antagonised by the presence of serum in the culture medium, and interaction between PPAR{gamma} signalling and cell survival signalling through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway was suggested.

Conclusions: As c-myc is an important target gene of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)/ß-catenin and/or APC/{gamma}-catenin pathway, activation of PPAR{gamma} signalling appears to compensate for deregulated c-myc expression caused by mutated APC. The present results suggest the potential usefulness of PPAR{gamma} ligands for chemoprevention and treatment of colon cancers.
