Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) exerts diverse effects on neoplastic cells. Recent work has shown that PPAR
is up-regulated after loss of adenomatous polyposis coli tumor suppressor gene function and that transcriptional activation of the PPAR
nuclear receptor can lead to inhibition of carcinoma growth. In this study, we elucidate the regulation and functional importance of PPAR
and
after K-Ras-transformation of intestinal epithelial cells. In conditionally K-Ras-transformed rat intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-iK-Ras), the level and activity of PPAR
were markedly increased. PPAR
up-regulation occurred due to increased mitogen-activated protein kinase activity and receptor activation required the endogenous production of prostacyclin via the cyclooxygenase-2 pathway. We also demonstrate that activation of the PPAR
nuclear receptor has antineoplastic effects in Ras-transformed cells. Activation of PPAR
resulted in a delay in transit through the G1 phase of the cell cycle that was associated with inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase/Akt activity and a reduction of cyclin D1 expression. Therefore, these two PPAR nuclear receptors, which are structurally related, have distinct roles during neoplastic transformation. PPAR
appears to modulate differentiation and signal growth inhibition, whereas PPAR
is up-regulated by oncogenic Ras and activated by cyclooxygenase-2-derived prostaglandins.
