Mice in which peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor beta (PPAR beta) is selectively ablated in skeletal muscle myocytes were generated to elucidate the role played by PPAR beta signaling in these myocytes. These somatic mutant mice exhibited a muscle fiber-type switching toward lower oxidative capacity that preceded the development of obesity and diabetes, thus demonstrating that PPAR beta is instrumental in myocytes to the maintenance of oxidative fibers and that f iber-type switching is likely to be the cause and not the consequence of these metabolic disorders. We also show that PPAR beta stimulates in myocytes the expression of PGC1 alpha, a coactivator of various transcription factors, known to play an important role in slow muscle fiber formation. Moreover, as the PGC1 alpha promoter contains a PPAR response element, the effect of PPAR beta on the formation and/or maintenance of slow muscle fibers can be ascribed, at least in part, to a stimulation of PGC1 alpha expression at the transcriptional level.
