Gronbzgen, Department of Pediatrics, Gronbzgen, The NetherlatMs Agoniata for tho Livor X Rocoptor (LXR) havo potontially anti-athoroaclorotic actiona, howovor, LXR activation in rodonta alao loada to incroaaod lipogonoaia, hyportriglycoridomia and hopatic atoatoaia. Tho conaoquoncoa of LXR activation in tho livor axo woll atudiod, yot, thoao of L X R activation apocifically in tho intoatino axo loaa known. In thia atudy wo oxaminod tho phyaiological offocta of tho LXR agoniat GW3965 on plasma lipid profilo and choloatorol abaorption and aocrotion by tho intoatino in rata. For thia purpoao, Wiatar rata woro troatod with tho aynthotic L X R agoniat GW3965 (10 mg/kg/day for 6 daya), which lod to an intoatino-apocific L X R roaponao: No changoa in hopatic lipid loyola or in gono oxproaaion of L X R targot gonoa in tho livor woro obaorvod upon GW3965 troatmont. Biliaxy choloatorol and phoapholipid output romainod unaYfoctod upon GW3965 troatmont. LXR activation, howovor, did incroaao focal noutral atorol output by 63% and roducod fractional choloatorol abaorption by 45%. Intoatinal oxproaaion of tho Abe tranaportora A b c a l and Abcg5, both involvod in choloatorol tranaport was incroaaod 11- and 7-fold upon LXR activation. Plasma total choloatorol loyola woro unaffoctod, howtrot, FPLC analyaia on poolod aamploa ahowod an incroaao in HDL choloatorol by 20%, which ia a thorapoutically rolovant riao. Thoao roaulta indicato that intoatino-apocific activation of L X R loada to a potontially anti-athoroaclorotic roaponao without advorao offocta on triglycorido motaboliam.

Rocontly, it has appoarod that tho ABCG1 gono ia involvod in HDL-modiatod collular choloatorol offlux and playa an antiathorogonic action. M e t h o d : HEK293 colla woro tranafoctod with luciforaso gono conatructa containing tho human wild-typo (WT) full longth and ita dolotod or pointmutatod ABCG1 promotor. In oloctrophorotic mobility a t i l t aaaaya (EMSA) oxporimont, HoLa nudoar oxtracta woro incubatod with tho ABCG1 promotor in tho proaonco or abaonco of LXR alpha/bota antibody. Roaulta and Concluaiona: Liganda for LXR and RXR oxtromoly atimulatod ABCG1 gono tranacription on a promotor locatod upatroam of oxonl. Sinco tho loaion, -303 to -163, waa found aa an important for roaponao to LXR on tho ABCG1 promotor by uaing tho dolotion conatracta, wo confirmod tho oxact loaion for roaponao to LXR/RXR by making a point-mutatod promotor. Aa tho roaulta, loaion -243/-228 on upatroam of oxonl was dotorminod for LXR/RXR roaponaivo (DR4) olomont as two analogoua of A G G T C A with 4 nuclootidoa apacoa. Tho olomont waa alao appoarod to bind to a LXR protoina in tho E M S A asaay. Thoao roaulta provido tho firat ovidonco for oxiatonco LXR roaponaivo alto in tho ABCG1 promotor locatod on upatroam of oxon 1. Our obaorvationa may h a r t an important rolo for a thorapoutic target to athoroacloroaia.

PPARg agoniata Roaiglitazono. In contraat to these lipida, atoaxoyl-oxovaloryl phoaphatidylcholino, EGF, PDGF or VEGF faMod to olicit noointima. Tho atructuro-activity rolationahip for noointima induction by LPA analoga in vivo is idontical to that of PPARg activation in vitro and diaparato from that of LPA G protein-coupled rocoptor activation. LPA olicita noointima in L P A I & L P A 2 doublo knockout mico. Noointima-inducing LPA analoga uprogulatod tho CD36 acavongor rocoptor in vitro and in vivo. Molocular forms of LPA that olicit noointima formation in vivo olicit phonotypic modulation of vascular amooth muaclo cella in vitro through PPARg. C o n d u s i o n : Soloct form of LPA art important novel ondogonoua PPARg liganda capablo of modiating vascular romodoling and that activation of tho nucloax tranacription factor PPARg ia nocoaaary for noointima formation by compononta of oxidized LDL.

Califano, Univ. of Napoli Federico II, Napoli, Italy Objective: Gono-onvironmont interaction lies beneath tho pathogonoaia of tho most widespread diaoaaoa, and nutrition ia among tho environmental factors with tho highoat impact on human health. Tho mochaniama involved in this interaction aro still undoax. In thia study wo investigated whether roavoratrol, an antioxidant polyphonol of rod wine, can influence tho expression and function of several genes, including PPARa, a transcriptional factor regulating gono expression when activated by endogenous or exogenous long-chadn fatty adds. Ita activation results in a significant protection from cardiovascular diseases in humans. Metbods: Eloctromobility shift assay, Western Blot analysis and GSH dotormination were employed to analyzo tho effect of rodox balanco (DEM versus rosvoratrol) in cultured cells. Results: PPARa is rodox-sonsitivo, as it displays reduced DNA-binding activity following in vivo-troatmont of tho cells with 1 mmol/L diothylmaloato (DEM), a glutathiono-doploting agent. 100 I~mol/L rosvoratrol has a dual effect on PPARa activity: it prevents to a large extent tho DEM-inducod reduction of DNA-binding activity at earlier time points, when tho effect of
