Niacin induces PPARγ expression and transcriptional activation in macrophages via HM74 and HM74a-mediated induction of prostaglandin synthesis pathways

HM74 and HM74a have been identified as receptors for niacin. HM74a mediates the pharmacological anti-lipolytic effects of niacin in adipocytes by reducing intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) and inhibiting release of free fatty acids into the circulation. In macrophages, niacin induces peroxisome prolif...

description HM74 and HM74a have been identified as receptors for niacin. HM74a mediates the pharmacological anti-lipolytic effects of niacin in adipocytes by reducing intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) and inhibiting release of free fatty acids into the circulation. In macrophages, niacin induces peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)-dependent and cAMP-dependent expression of genes mediating reverse cholesterol transport, although via an unidentified receptor. We describe constitutive expression of HM74a mRNA and hypoxia-and IFNγ-inducible expression of HM74 and HM74a in human monocytic cell lines and primary cells in culture. In U937 cells niacin-induced expression of 15-deoxy-Δ<sup12, 14<="" sup="">-prostaglandin J₂ (15d-PGJ₂), the most potent endogeneous ligand of PPARγ. Both niacin and the structurally distinct HM74/HM74a ligand acifran-induced nuclear expression of PPARγ protein and enhanced PPARγ transcriptional activity of phospholipase A₂ (EC 3.1.1.4), cyclo-oxygenase (EC 1.14.99.1) and prostaglandin D₂ synthase (EC 5.3.99.2). Niacin also induced PPARγ transcriptional activity in HM74 and HM74a CHO cell transfectants, although not in vector-only control cells. This was sensitive to pertussis toxin and to inhibition of phoshopipase A₂ and cyclo-oxygenase activity. Additionally, niacin increased intracellular cAMP in U937 via a pertussis toxin and cyclo-oxygenase-sensitive mechanism. These results indicate that HM74 and HM74a can mediate macrophage responses to niacin via activation of the prostaglandin synthesis pathway and induction and activation of PPARγ. This suggests a novel mechanism(s) mediating the clinical effects of pharmacological doses of niacin.</sup12,>
