PPARs are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily and
are primarily involved in lipid metabolism. The expression patterns of
all 3 PPAR isotypes in 22 adult rat organs were analyzed by a
quantitative ribonuclease protection assay. The data obtained allowed
comparison of the expression of each isotype to the others and provided
new insight into the less studied PPARß (NR1C2) expression and
function. This isotype shows a ubiquitous expression pattern and is the
most abundant of the three PPARs in all analyzed tissues except adipose
tissue. Its expression is especially high in the digestive tract, in
addition to kidney, heart, diaphragm, and esophagus. After an overnight
fast, PPARß mRNA levels are dramatically down-regulated in liver and
kidney by up to 80% and are rapidly restored to control levels upon
refeeding. This tight nutritional regulation is independent of the
circulating glucocorticoid levels and the presence of PPAR
, whose
activity is markedly up-regulated in the liver and small intestine
during fasting. Finally, PPAR
2 mRNA levels are decreased by 50%
during fasting in both white and brown adipose tissue. In conclusion,
fasting can strongly influence PPAR expression, but in only a few
selected tissues.
