Abstract—Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a 21-amino acid vasoactive peptide mainly produced by vascular endothelial cells, is involved in the regulation of vascular tone and smooth muscle cell proliferation. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), key players in lipid and glucose metabolism, have been implicated in metabolic disorders that are predisposing to atherosclerosis. Because of the potential role of ET-1 in vascular disorders such as hypertension and atherosclerosis, we investigated the regulation of ET-1 expression by PPAR activators. Western blot and reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction analyses demonstrated that both PPAR{alpha} and PPAR{gamma} are expressed in human coronary artery endothelial cells as well as in endothelial cell lines such as HMEC-1 and ECV304. In bovine aortic endothelial cells and HMEC-1 cells, both PPAR{alpha} and PPAR{gamma} ligands inhibited thrombin-induced ET-1 secretion, whereas basal ET-1 secretion was only slightly suppressed. Reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction experiments showed that this inhibition of ET-1 production occurs at the gene expression level. Using transient transfection assays, we demonstrated that PPARs downregulate thrombin-activated transcription of the human ET-1 promoter. Transactivation studies with c-Jun and c-Fos expression plasmids indicated that PPARs negatively interfere with the activator protein-1 signaling pathway, which mediates thrombin activation of ET-1 gene transcription. Furthermore, electrophoretic mobility shift assays demonstrated that PPAR activators reduce the thrombin-stimulated binding activity of bovine aortic endothelial cell nuclear extracts as well as c-Jun binding to an activator protein-1 consensus site. Taken together, these data indicate that (1) both PPAR{alpha} and PPAR{gamma} are expressed in human vascular endothelial cells and (2) PPAR activators inhibit thrombin-induced ET-1 biosynthesis, indicating a novel role for PPARs in vascular endothelial function.
