Activation of the lipid-regulated nuclear receptor, Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPAR ) modifies the immunophenotype of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs). However it has not been analyzed in a systematic manner how lipid metabolism and immune regulation are connected at the transcriptional level via this receptor. Here we present the genome-wide expression analyses of PPAR -instructed human DCs. Receptor activation was achieved by exogenous, synthetic as well as endogenous, natural means. Over 1000 transcripts are regulated during DC development by activation of PPAR , half of the changes are positive effects. These changes appear to enhance and modulate the robust gene expression alterations associated with monocyte to DC transition. Strikingly, only genes related to lipid metabolism are over-represented among early-induced genes. As a net consequence lipid accumulation appears to be diminished in these cells. In contrast, genes related to immune response are regulated after 24 hours implying the existence of indirect mechanisms of modulation. Receptor-dependence was established by using DCs of patients harboring a dominant negative mutation of PPAR . Our data show that PPAR acts as a mostly positive transcriptional regulator in human developing DCs acting primarily through controlling genes involved in lipid metabolism and via this, indirectly modifying the immune phenotype.
