Unique interactome network signatures for PPAR{gamma} modulation by functional selective ligands [Research]

The nuclear receptor PPARg regulates adipogenesis and plays a central role in lipid and glucose homeostasis, and is the molecular target of the glitazones (TZDs), therapeutics used to treat insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes (T2D).  While the TZDs, which are PPARg agonists, demonstrated robust clinical efficacy in T2D, their use has been hampered by an array of untoward side effects.  Paradoxically, partial agonists (e.g., MRL24), antagonists (e.g., SR1664), and inverse agonists (e.g., SR10171 and SR2595), possess similar insulin-sensitizing efficacy as the TZDs in obese diabetic mice. Given the unique pharmacology of these modulators, we sought to identify the components of the PPARg transcriptional complex that is regulated by these ligands. To achieve this, we employed subcellular fractionation of adipocytes combined with either trapping of the receptor complex on biotinylated DNA oligonucleotide, or classical immunoprecipitation. Tandem mass spectrometry analysis revealed unique, partially overlapping, compound- and subcellular compartment-specific complexes. Components of these interactomes are putative co-regulators of PPARg.  Interestingly, complexes isolated in the cytosol contain sets of proteins involve in cellular assembly and extracellular matrix. Furthermore, the interactome observed for cytosolic non-DNA bound receptor was distinct from that observed from nuclear chromatin associated PPARg, suggesting cellular compartment-specific roles for this receptor.
