Besides their well-known anti-diabetic effects, the peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) thiazolidinedione ligands (TZD) have been suggested to also display anti-inflammatory properties. The receptor role in mediating such effects is far from being elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that PPAR gamma is necessary for TZD to interfere with TNF alpha and IFN gamma inflammatory activity in human endothelial cells. Different PPAR gamma ligands similarly inhibit cytokinic stimulation of IFN gamma-inducible-protein-of-10-kDa (IP10) secretion in a dose-dependent manner and prevent the induced phosphorylation/activation of extracellular-signaling-regulated-kinases (ERK1/2). To further confirm the PPAR gamma role in mediating both rapid and long term anti-inflammatory effects of its ligands, we evaluated RGZ inhibitory action in PPAR gamma-silenced and -overexpressing cells. PPAR gamma-silencing results in a reversion of RGZ inhibitory activity on cyto/chemokine secretions and rapid ERK phosphorylation. Conversely, receptor overexpression significantly increases RGZ inhibitory activity. Finally. PPAR gamma-overexpression results in a reduction of ERK1/2 phosphorylation and inflammatory secretions in response to TNF alpha and IFN gamma even in the absence of RGZ, suggesting a restraining effect controlled by endogenous ligands.In conclusion, our data provide the first evidence that PPAR gamma is involved in the anti-inflammatory action of TZD in endothelial cells, not only by modulating cyto/chemokine secretions but also by restraining ERK activation through a novel rapid nongenomic mechanism.
