Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor {alpha} Deficiency Abolishes the Response of Lipogenic Gene Expression to Re-feeding

The mRNA expression of lipogenic genes Scd-1 and Fas is regulated partly by the insulin-sensitive transcription factor SREBP-1c and liver X receptor {alpha} (LXR{alpha}). Compared with normal mice, the increase in the mRNA expression of hepatic Scd-1, Fas, and Srebp-1c was severely attenuated in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor {alpha} (PPAR{alpha})-deficient mice during the transition from the starved to the re-fed states. The concentration of the membrane-bound form of SREBP-1c was also lower in the livers of the PPAR{alpha}-deficient mice during re-feeding but there was little difference in the concentration of the active, nuclear form, or in the abundance of Insig-2a mRNA. The response of plasma insulin to starvation and re-feeding was normal in the PPAR{alpha}-deficient mice. Rat hepatocytes transfected with an adenovirus encoding a dominant negative form of PPAR{alpha} were resistant to the stimulatory effects of insulin on Fas and Scd-1 mRNA expression in vitro. When LXR{alpha} was activated in vivo by inclusion of a non-steroidal ligand in the diet, the expression of the mRNA for hepatic Srebp-1c, Fas, and Scd-1 was increased severalfold in mice of both genotypes and resistance associated with PPAR{alpha} deficiency was abolished during re-feeding. However, although re-feeding the LXR{alpha} ligand induced the immature form of SREBP-1c equally in the livers of both genotypes, the concentration of the nuclear form remained relatively low in the livers of the PPAR{alpha}-deficient mice. We conclude that intact PPAR{alpha} is required to mediate the response of Scd-1 and Fas gene expression to insulin and that this is normally achieved directly by activation of LXR{alpha}.
