Loss of peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-&ggr; (PPAR&ggr;) function causes hypertension, whereas its activation lowers blood pressure. Evidence suggests that these effects may be attributable to PPAR&ggr; activity in the vasculature. However, the specific transcriptional targets of PPAR&ggr; in vessels remain largely unidentified. In this study, we examined the role of smooth muscle PPAR&ggr; during salt-sensitive hypertension and investigated its transcriptional targets and functional effect. Transgenic mice expressing dominant-negative PPAR&ggr; (S-P467L) in smooth muscle cells were more prone to deoxycorticosterone acetate–salt–induced hypertension and mesenteric arterial dysfunction compared with nontransgenic controls. Despite similar morphometry at baseline, vascular remodeling in conduit and small arteries was enhanced in S-P467L after deoxycorticosterone acetate–salt treatment. Gene expression profiling in aorta and mesenteric arteries revealed significantly decreased expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-4 (TIMP-4) in S-P467L. Expression of TIMP-4 was increased by deoxycorticosterone acetate–salt treatment, but this increase was ablated in S-P467L. Interference with PPAR&ggr; activity either by treatment with a PPAR&ggr; inhibitor, GW9662, or by expressing P467L PPAR&ggr; markedly suppressed TIMP-4 in primary smooth muscle cells. PPAR&ggr; binds to a PPAR response element (PPRE) in chromatin close to the TIMP-4 gene in smooth muscle cells, suggesting that TIMP-4 is a novel target of PPAR&ggr;. The interference with PPAR&ggr; and decrease in TIMP-4 were accompanied by an increase in total matrix metalloproteinase activity. PPAR&ggr;-mediated loss of TIMP-4 increased, whereas overexpression of TIMP-4 decreased smooth muscle cell migration in a scratch assay. Our findings highlight a protective mechanism induced by PPAR&ggr; in deoxycorticosterone acetate–salt treatment, establishing a novel mechanistic link between PPAR&ggr; and TIMP-4.
