The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor {alpha} is a ligand-activated transcription factor that plays an important role in the regulation of lipid homeostasis. PPAR{alpha} mediates the effects of fibrates, which are potent hypolipidemic drugs, on gene expression. To better understand the biological effects of fibrates and PPAR{alpha}, we searched for genes regulated by PPAR{alpha} using oligonucleotide microarray and subtractive hybridization. By comparing liver RNA from wild-type and PPAR{alpha} null mice, it was found that PPAR{alpha} decreases the mRNA expression of enzymes involved in the metabolism of amino acids. Further analysis by Northern blot revealed that PPAR{alpha} influences the expression of several genes involved in trans- and deamination of amino acids, and urea synthesis. Direct activation of PPAR{alpha} using the synthetic PPAR{alpha} ligand WY14643 decreased mRNA levels of these genes, suggesting that PPAR{alpha} is directly implicated in the regulation of their expression. Consistent with these data, plasma urea concentrations are modulated by PPAR{alpha} in vivo. It is concluded that in addition to oxidation of fatty acids, PPAR{alpha} also regulates metabolism of amino acids in liver, indicating that PPAR{alpha} is a key controller of intermediary metabolism during fasting.—Kersten, S., Mandard, S., Escher, P., Gonzalez, F. J., Tafuri, S., Desvergne, B., Wahli, W. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor {alpha} regulates amino acid metabolism.
