Mounting evidence suggests that the risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) is dramatically increased for patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. For instance, patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) or Ulcerative Colitis (UC) have a 12–20% increased risk for developing CRC. Preventive strategies utilizing nontoxic natural compounds that modulate immune responses could be successful in the suppression of inflammation-driven colorectal cancer in high-risk groups. The increase of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ(PPAR-γ) expression and its transcriptional activity has been identified as a target for anti-inflammatory efforts, and the suppression of inflammation-driven colon cancer. PPARγdown-modulates inflammation and elicits antiproliferative and proapoptotic actions in epithelial cells. All of which may decrease the risk for inflammation-induced CRC. This review will focus on the use of orally active, naturally occurring chemopreventive approaches against inflammation-induced CRC that target PPARγand therefore down-modulate inflammation.

The transcriptional activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), and of nuclear hormone receptors in general, is subject to modulation by cofactors. However, most currently known co-activating proteins interact in a ligand-dependent manner with the C-terminal ligand-regulated activation function (AF)-2 domain of nuclear receptors. Since PPARα exhibits a strong constitutive transactivating function contained within an N-terminal AF-1 region, it can be speculated that a different set of cofactors might interact with this region of PPARs. An affinity purification approach was used to identify the peroxisomal enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (bifunctional enzyme, BFE) as a protein which strongly and specifically interacted with the N-terminal 92 amino acids of PPARα. ProteinŐprotein interaction assays with the cloned BFE confirmed this interaction, which could be mapped to amino acids 307Ő514 of the BFE and the N-terminal 70 amino acids of PPARα. Moreover, transient transfection experiments in hepatoma cells revealed a 2.2-fold increase in the basal and ligand-stimulated transcriptional activity of PPARα in the presence of BFE. This stimulatory effect is preferentially observed for the PPARα isoform and it is significantly stronger (4.8-fold) in non-hepatic cells, which presumably express lower levels of endogenous BFE. Hence, the BFE represents the first known cofactor capable of activating the AF-1 domain of PPAR without requiring additional regions of this receptor. These data are compatible with a model whereby the PPAR-regulated BFE is able to modulate its own expression through an enhancement of the activity of PPARα, representing a novel peroxisomalŐnuclear feed-forward regulatory loop.

The related coactivators SRC-2 and SRC-3 interact with peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) to coordinate transcriptional circuits to promote adipogenesis. To identify potential coactivator redundancy during human adipogenesis at single cell resolution, we used high content analysis to quantify links between PPARγ, SRC-2, SRC-3, and lipogenesis. Because we detected robust increases and significant cell–cell heterogeneity in PPARγ and lipogenesis, without changes in SRC-2 or SRC-3, we hypothesized that permissive coregulator levels comprise a necessary adipogenic equilibrium. We probed this equilibrium by down-regulating SRC-2 and SRC-3 while simultaneously quantifying PPARγ. Individual or joint knockdown equally inhibits lipid accumulation by preventing lipogenic gene engagement, without affecting PPARγ protein levels. Supporting dominant, pro-adipogenic roles for SRC-2 and SRC-3, SRC-1 knockdown does not affect adipogenesis. SRC-2 and SRC-3 knockdown increases the proportion of cells in a PPARγhi/lipidlo state while increasing phospho-PPARγ–S114, an inhibitor of PPARγ transcriptional activity and adipogenesis. Together, we demonstrate that SRC-2 and SRC-3 concomitantly promote human adipocyte differentiation by attenuating phospho-PPARγ–S114 and modulating PPARγ cellular heterogeneity.
