PPAR involvement in cell growth was investigated in vivo and in vitro and was correlated with cell proliferation and apoptotic death. In vivo PPAR. and a were evaluated in colon cancer specimens and adjacent nonneoplastic colonic mucosa. PPAR. increased in most cancer specimens versus mucosa, with a decrease in c-Myc and in PCNA proteins, suggesting that colon cancer growth is due to increased cell survival rather than increased proliferation. The prevalence of survival over proliferation was confirmed by Bcl-2 or Bcl-X-L increase in cancer versus mucosa, and by decreased PPAR alpha. In vitro PPAR. and PPARa were evaluated in human tumor and normal cell lines, treated with natural or synthetic ligands. PPAR. was involved in inhibiting cell proliferation with a decrease in c-Myc protein, whereas PPARa was involved in inducing apoptosis with modulation of Bcl-2 and Bad proteins. This involvement was confirmed using specific antagonists of two PPARs. Moreover, the results obtained on treating cell lines with PPAR ligands confirm observations in colon cancer: there is an inverse correlation between PPARa and Bcl-2 and between PPAR. and c-Myc.
