Negative
regulation of gene expression by PPARs. Different mechanisms of transrepression through
interference of activated PPARs with activation of transcription factors have
been described. (1) Activated PPAR-RXR
complexes may sequester essential coactivators shared with other transcription
factors. (2) Physical association of PPARs with specific transcription
factors results in reduced binding to
their cognate response elements. (3) PPAR agonists can also influence transcriptional
activation by upregulating the expression of transcriptional repressors such as
IκB. (4) PPAR-mediated interference on the activation of
members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade influences
transcription factor activation.
