E-mail: rdanner@cc.nih.gov Both nitric oxide (NO • ) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) protect the endothelium and regulate its function. Here, we tested for crosstalk between these signaling pathways. Human umbilical vein and hybrid EA.hy926 endothelial cells were exposed to S -nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) or diethylenetriamine NONOate (DETA NONOate). Electrophoretic mobility shift assays using PPAR-response element (PPRE) probe showed that NO • caused a rapid dose-dependent increase in PPARγ binding, an effect that was confirmed in vivo by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Conversely, N G -monomethyl- L -arginine, a NOS inhibitor, decreased PPARγ binding. NO • -mediated PPARγ binding and NO • induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase alpha (DGKα), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), genes with well-characterized PPRE motifs, were cGMP independent. NO • dose dependently activated p38 MAPK, and p38 MAPK inhibition with SB202190 or knockdown with siRNA was shown to block NO • activation of PPARγ. Likewise, p38 MAPK and PPARγ inhibitors or knockdown of either transcript all significantly blocked NO • induction of PPRE-regulated genes. PPARγ activation by p38 MAPK may contribute to the anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective effects of NO • in the vasculature. This crosstalk mechanism suggests new strategies for preventing and treating vascular dysfunction.—Ptasinska, A., Wang, S., Zhang, J., Wesley, R. A., Danner, R. L.
