BILE ACIDS INDUCE THE EXPRESSION OF THE HUMAN PEROXISOME PROLIFERATOR-ACTIVATED RECEPTOR{alpha} (PPAR{alpha}) GENE VIA ACTIVATION OF THE FARNESOID X RECEPTOR

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor {alpha} (PPAR{alpha}) is a nuclear receptor that controls lipid and glucose metabolism and exerts anti-inflammatory activities. PPAR{alpha} is also reported to influence bile acid formation and bile composition. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a bile acid-activated nuclear receptor that mediates the effects of bile acids on gene expression and plays a major role in bile acid and possibly also in lipid metabolism. Thus, both PPAR{alpha} and FXR appear to act on common metabolic pathways. To determine the existence of a molecular cross-talk between these two nuclear receptors the regulation of PPAR{alpha} expression by bile acids was investigated. Incubation of human hepatoma HepG2 cells with the natural FXR ligand chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) as well as with the non-steroidal FXR agonist GW4064 resulted in a significant induction of PPAR{alpha} mRNA levels. In addition, hPPAR{alpha} gene expression was up-regulated by taurocholic acid (TCA) in human primary hepatocytes. Cotransfection of FXR/RXR in the presence of CDCA led to up to a 3-fold induction of human PPAR{alpha} promoter activity in HepG2 cells. Mutation analysis identified a FXR response element in the human PPAR{alpha} promoter ({alpha}FXRE) that mediates bile acid regulation of this promoter. FXR bound the {alpha}FXRE site as demonstrated by gel shift analysis and CDCA specifically increased the activity of a heterologous promoter driven by 4 copies of the {alpha}FXRE. In contrast, neither the murine PPAR{alpha} promoter, in which the {alpha}FXRE is not conserved, nor a mouse {alpha}FXRE-driven heterologous reporter, were responsive to CDCA treatment. Moreover, PPAR{alpha} expression was not regulated in TCA-fed mice. Finally, induction of hPPAR{alpha} mRNA levels by CDCA resulted in an enhanced induction of the expression of the PPAR{alpha} target gene CPT-I by PPAR{alpha} ligands. In concert, these results demonstrate that bile acids stimulate PPAR{alpha} expression in a species-specific manner via a FXRE located within the human PPAR{alpha} promoter. These results provide molecular evidence for a cross-talk between the FXR and PPAR{alpha} pathways in humans.
