Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor delta (PPAR-δ) is a nuclear receptor transcription factor that regulates gene expression during development and disease states such as cancer. However, the precise role of PPAR-δ during tumorigenesis is not well understood. Recent data suggest that PPAR-δ may have context specific oncogenic and tumor suppressive roles depending on the tissue, cell-type, or diet-induced physiology in question. For example in the intestine, pro-obesity diets, like a high fat diet (HFD), are associated with increased colorectal cancer incidence. Interestingly, many of the effects of a HFD in the stem and progenitor cell compartment are driven by a robust PPAR-δ program and contribute to the early steps of intestinal tumorigenesis. Importantly, the PPAR-δ pathway or its downstream mediators may serve as therapeutic intervention points or biomarkers in colon cancer that particularly arise in obese patients. Although potent PPAR-δ agonists and antagonists exist, their clinical utility may be enhanced by uncovering how PPAR-δ mediates tumorigenesis in diverse tissues and cell-types as well as in response to diet.
