Disruption of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor {gamma} (PPAR{gamma}) gene causes embryonic lethality due to placental dysfunction. To circumvent this, a PPAR{gamma} conditional gene knockout mouse was produced by using the Cre-loxP system. The targeted allele, containing loxP sites flanking exon 2 of the PPAR{gamma} gene, was crossed into a transgenic mouse line expressing Cre recombinase under the control of the alpha/beta interferon-inducible (MX) promoter. Induction of the MX promoter by pIpC resulted in nearly complete deletion of the targeted exon, a corresponding loss of full-length PPAR{gamma} mRNA transcript and protein, and marked reductions in basal and troglitazone-stimulated expression of the genes encoding lipoprotein lipase, CD36, LXR{alpha}, and ABCG1 in thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal macrophages. Reductions in the basal levels of apolipoprotein E (apoE) mRNA in macrophages and apoE protein in total plasma and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were also observed in pIpC-treated PPAR{gamma}-MXCre+ mice. Basal cholesterol efflux from cholesterol-loaded macrophages to HDL was significantly reduced after disruption of the PPAR{gamma} gene. Troglitazone selectively inhibited ABCA1 expression (while rosiglitazone, ciglitazone, and pioglitazone had little effect) and cholesterol efflux in both PPAR{gamma}-deficient and control macrophages, indicating that this drug can exert paradoxical effects on cholesterol homeostasis that are independent of PPAR{gamma}. Together, these data indicate that PPAR{gamma} plays a critical role in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis by controlling the expression of a network of genes that mediate cholesterol efflux from cells and its transport in plasma.
