BACKGROUND: The metabolic inhibitor rotenone inhibits hepatocellular proliferation and the incidence of liver cancer resulting from exposure to the PPARalpha agonist Wy-14,643, via unknown mechanisms.

A re-evaluation of the biological activities of PPAR synthetic ligands, in particular of the mitochondrial dysfunction based on a rotenone-like Complex I partial inhibition and of its consequent metabolic adaptations, seems to explain some of the pathophysiologic aspects of PPARs allowing a better definition of the therapeutic properties of the so-called PPAR-ligands.

Rotenone and antimycin A prevented Wy14643- but not ciglitazone-induced oxidant production.

The mRNA expression levels of mitochondrial gene including cytochromes c (Cyt c), malate dehydrogenases (MDH), and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) gamma coactivator-1beta (PGC-1beta) significantly increased along with the proceeding of adipocyte differentiation.
The damage to mitochondrial respiratory chain function by rotenone caused significant decrease in gene expressions including mitochondrial MDH and PGC-1beta, and PPARgamma, CAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), which are known as transcription factors of differentiation, and differentiation marker gene named fatty acid synthetase.

Proliferation, cell cycle distribution, protein expression, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor responsive element (PPRE) transcriptional activity and mitochondrial effects were determined by [3H] thymidine incorporation, FACS analyses, western blots, reporter assays and lactate release respectively.
Proliferation inhibition and lactate release were mimicked by rotenone (mitochondrial complex I inhibitor).

Inhibitors of mitochondrial complexes, rotenone (0.1 microM) and myxothiazol (25 nM), protected the viability in TG-loaded macrophages.
Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors attenuated reactive oxygen species production in the foam cells.

Treatment with PPARalpha, but not PPARbeta, and PPARgamma agonists and MK886, resulted in generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which was inhibited in the presence of the NADPH oxidase inhibitors diphenylen iodonium (DPI) and apocynin and the free radical scavengers vitamin E and N-(2-mercapto-propionyl)-glycine (NMPG), whereas the mitochondrial complex I inhibitor rotenone was without effects.
