Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) represents a ligand-dependent nuclear receptor family that regulates multiple metabolic processes associated with fatty acid beta-oxidation, glucose utilization, and cholesterol transport. These and other receptor-mediated actions pertain to their role in hypolipidemic and antidiabetic therapies and as potential targets for cancer chemopreventive agents. The present study evaluated the chemopreventive activity of two highly potent and selective PPARgamma and PPARdelta agonists in a progestin- and carcinogen-induced mouse mammary tumorigenesis model. Animals treated with the PPARgamma agonist GW7845 exhibited a moderate delay in tumor formation. In contrast, animals treated with the PPARdelta agonist GW501516 showed accelerated tumor formation. Significantly, tumors from GW7845-treated mice were predominantly ductal adenocarcinomas, whereas tumors from GW501516-treated animals were adenosquamous and squamous cell carcinomas. Gene expression analysis of tumors arising from GW7845- and GW501516-treated mice identified expression profiles that were distinct from each other and from untreated control tumors of the same histopathology. Only tumors from mice treated with the PPARgamma agonist expressed estrogen receptor-alpha in luminal transit cells, suggesting increased ductal progenitor cell expansion. Tumors from mice treated with the PPARdelta agonist exhibited increased PPARdelta levels and activated 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1), which co-associated, suggesting a link between the known oncogenic activity of PDK1 in mammary epithelium and PPARdelta activation. These results indicate that PPARdelta and PPARgamma agonists produce diverse, yet profound effects on mammary tumorigenesis that give rise to distinctive histopathologic patterns of tumor differentiation and tumor development.
