Human (HepG2) cells were exposed to PPARγ ligands to induce systems-level effects. Ciglitazone decreases HepG2 cell viability while GW 9662 had no effect. Ciglitazone and GW 9662 increase neutral lipids as a function of concentration. Cholesterol biosynthesis transcripts are affected by ciglitazone and GW 9662. Ciglitazone alters lipid profiles but GW 9662 was similar to vehicle-exposed cells. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor that, upon activation by ligands, heterodimerizes with retinoid X receptor (RXR), binds to PPAR response elements (PPREs), and activates transcription of downstream genes. As PPARγ plays a central role in adipogenesis, fatty acid storage, and glucose metabolism, PPARγ-specific pharmaceuticals (e.g., thiazolidinediones) have been developed to treat Type II diabetes and obesity within human populations. However, to our knowledge, no prior studies have concurrently assessed the effects of PPARγ ligand exposure on genome-wide PPARγ binding as well as effects on the transcriptome and lipidome within human cells at biologically active, non-cytotoxic concentrations. In addition to quantifying concentration-dependent effects of ciglitazone (a reference PPARγ agonist) and GW 9662 (a reference PPARγ antagonist) on human hepatocarcinoma (HepG2) cell viability, PPARγ abundance in situ, and neutral lipids, HepG2 cells were exposed to either vehicle (0.1% DMSO), ciglitazone, or GW 9662 for up to 24 h, and then harvested for 1) chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) to identify PPARγ-bound regions across the entire genome, 2) mRNA-sequencing (mRNA-seq) to identify potential impacts on the transcriptome, and 3) lipidomics to identify potential alterations in lipid profiles. Following exposure to ciglitazone and GW 9662, we found that PPARγ levels were not significantly different after 2–8 h of exposure. While ciglitazone and GW 9662 resulted in a concentration-dependent increase in neutral lipids, the magnitude and localization of PPARγ-bound regions across the genome (as identified by ChIP-seq) did not vary by treatment. However, mRNA-seq and lipidomics revealed that exposure of HepG2 cells to ciglitazone and GW 9662 resulted in significant, treatment-specific effects on the transcriptome and lipidome. Overall, our findings suggest that exposure of human cells to PPARγ ligands at biologically active, non-cytotoxic concentrations results in toxicity that may be driven by a combination of both PPARγ-dependent and PPARγ-independent mechanisms.
