This study was designed to investigate the effects of various chemically distinct activators of PPAR-{gamma} and PPAR-{alpha} in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction. Using Northern blot analysis and RT-PCR in samples of rat heart, we document the expression of the mRNA for PPAR-{gamma} (isoform 1 but not isoform 2) as well as PPAR-ß and PPAR-{alpha} in freshly isolated cardiac myocytes and cardiac fibroblasts and in the left and right ventricles of the heart. Using a rat model of regional myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (in vivo), we have discovered that various chemically distinct ligands of PPAR-{gamma} (including the TZDs rosiglitazone, ciglitazone, and pioglitazone, as well as the cyclopentanone prostaglandins 15D-PGJ2 and PGA1) cause a substantial reduction of myocardial infarct size in the rat. We demonstrate that two distinct ligands of PPAR-{alpha} (including clofibrate and WY 14643) also cause a substantial reduction of myocardial infarct size in the rat. The most pronounced reduction in infarct size was observed with the endogenous PPAR-{gamma} ligand, 15-deoxy{Delta}12,14-prostagalndin J2 (15D-PGJ2). The mechanisms of the cardioprotective effects of 15D-PGJ2 may include 1) activation of PPAR-{alpha}, 2) activation of PPAR-{gamma}, 3) expression of HO-1, and 4) inhibition of the activation of NF-{kappa}B in the ischemic-reperfused heart. Inhibition by 15D-PGJ2 of the activation of NF-{kappa}B in turn results in a reduction of the 1) expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and the nitration of proteins by peroxynitrite, 2) formation of the chemokine MCP-1, and 3) expression of the adhesion molecule ICAM-1. We speculate that ligands of PPAR-{gamma} and PPAR-{alpha} may be useful in the therapy of conditions associated with ischemia-reperfusion of the heart and other organs. Our findings also imply that TZDs and fibrates may help protect the heart against ischemia-reperfusion injury. This beneficial effect of 15D-PGJ2 was associated with a reduction in the expression of the 1) adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and P-selectin, 2) chemokine macrophage chemotactic protein 1, and 3) inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase. 15D-PGJ2 reduced the nitration of proteins (immunohistological analysis of nitrotyrosine formation) caused by ischemia-reperfusion, likely due to the generation of peroxynitrite. Not all of the effects of 15D-PGJ2, however, are due to the activation of PPAR-{gamma}. For instance, exposure of rat cardiac myocytes to 15D-PGJ2, but not to rosiglitazone, results in an up-regulation of the expression of the mRNA for heme-oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Taken together, these results provide convincing evidence that several, chemically distinct ligands of PPAR-{gamma} reduce the tissue necrosis associated with acute myocardial infarction.—Wayman, N. S., Hattori, Y., McDonald, M. C., Mota-Filipe, H., Cuzzocrea, S., Pisano, B., Chatterjee, P. K., Thiemermann, C. Ligands of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR-{gamma} and PPAR-{alpha}) reduce myocardial infarct size.
