Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR-delta), or (PPAR-beta), also known as Nuclear hormone receptor 1 (NUC1) is a nuclear receptor that in humans is encoded by the PPARD gene.[5]

This gene encodes a member of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) family. It was first identified in Xenopus in 1993.[6]

Function

PPAR-delta is a nuclear hormone receptor that governs a variety of biological processes and may be involved in the development of several chronic diseases, including diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, and cancer.[7][8]

In muscle PPARD

type I fibers.[9] Both PPAR-delta and AMPK agonists are regarded as exercise mimetics.[10] In adipose tissue PPAR-β/δ increases both oxidation as well as uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation.[9]

PPAR-delta may function as an integrator of

epidermal cell proliferation, and glucose[12] and lipid metabolism.[13]

This protein has been shown to be involved in differentiation, lipid accumulation,[14] directional sensing, polarization, and migration in keratinocytes.[15]

Role in cancer

Studies into the role of PPAR-delta in cancer have produced contradictory results. Although there is some controversy, the majority of studies have suggested that PPAR-delta activation could result in changes that are favorable to cancer progression.[16] PPAR-delta favours tumour angiogenesis.[17]

Tissue distribution

PPAR-delta is highly expressed in many tissues, including

keratinocytes, as well as in heart, spleen, skeletal muscle, lung, brain and thymus.[18]

Knockout studies

postnatally. In addition, fat stores in the gonads of the mutants are smaller. The mutants also display increased epidermal hyperplasia upon induction with TPA.[19]

Ligands

PPAR-delta is activated in the cell by various fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives.

15-hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid family of arachidonic acid metabolites including 15(S)-HETE, 15(R)-HETE, and 15-HpETE.[20] Several high affinity ligands for PPAR-delta have been developed, including GW501516 and GW0742, which play an important role in research. In one study utilizing such a ligand, it has been shown that agonism of PPARδ changes the body's fuel preference from glucose to lipids.[21] Initially, PPAR-delta agonists were considered promising therapies as an exercise mimetic that could treat metabolic syndrome, but later on more evidence was uncovered about their possible pro-cancer effects.[16]

Agonists

Although its drug development was discontinued due to animal studies suggesting an increased risk of cancer, GW501516 has been used as a

performance enhancing drug.[24] It and other PPAR-delta agonists are banned in sports.[25][26]
