The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various human diseases including fatty liver. Although nuclear translocation of PPAR gamma plays an important role in PPAR gamma signaling, details of the translocation mechanisms have not been elucidated. Here we demonstrate that PPAR gamma 2 translocates to the nucleus and activates signal transduction through H2O2-dependent formation of a PPAR gamma 2 and transportin (Tnpo)1 complex via redox-sensitive disulfide bonds between cysteine (Cys)176 and Cys180 of the former and Cys512 of the latter. Using hepatocyte cultures and mouse models, we show that cytosolic H2O2/Tnpo1-dependent nuclear translocation enhances the amount of DNA-bound PPAR gamma and downstream signaling, leading to triglyceride accumulation in hepatocytes and liver. These findings expand our understanding of the mechanism underlying the nuclear translocation of PPAR gamma, and suggest that the PPAR gamma and Tnpo1 complex and surrounding redox environment are potential therapeutic targets in the treatment of PPAR gamma-related diseases.
