Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARalpha, beta/delta and gamma) are nuclear receptors and PPARgamma activation was previously reported to inhibit collagen expression in the heart, but whether PPARbeta/delta also regulates collagen expression in the heart remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of PPARbeta/delta activation on angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced collagen type I expression in adult rat cardiac fibroblasts. The results showed that PPARbeta/delta was expressed at the moderate level in cardiac fibroblasts. GW501516, a selective PPARbeta/delta agonist, depressed Ang II-stimulated collagen type I expression and collagen synthesis in cardiac fibroblasts in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, these inhibitory effects of GW501516 were completely reversed by the knockdown of PPARbeta/delta via RNA interference. In summary, we find that PPARbeta/delta is present in cardiac fibroblasts and PPARbeta/delta activation inhibits Ang II-induced collagen type I expression at least in part via decreasing collagen synthesis. PPARbeta/delta may be a promising therapeutic target for myocardial fibrosis.
