Peroxisome proliferators (PPs) are a diverse group of nongenotoxic chemicals that in rodents cause hepatic peroxisome proliferation, liver enlargement, increased replicative DNA synthesis and suppression of apoptosis. The effects of PPs in vivo can be reproduced in vitro where PPs can induce mouse hepatocyte DNA synthesis and suppress both spontaneous apoptosis and that induced by transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta). In vitro, high concentrations (>500 U/ml) of exogenous tumour necrosis factor (TNFalpha) [M. Rolfe, N.H. James, R.A. Roberts, TNF suppresses apoptosis and induces S-phase in rodent hepatocytes: a mediator of the hepatocarcinogenicity of peroxisome proliferators?, Carcinogenesis 18 (1997) 2277-2280] are also able to stimulate hepatocyte DNA synthesis and suppress apoptosis, implicating TNFalpha in mediating or permitting the liver growth response to PPs. Here, using cultured mouse hepatocytes isolated from PPARalpha null mice, we have examined the role of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) in mediating the suppression of apoptosis caused by PPs. In addition we have investigated further the role of TNFalpha in mediating the rodent response to PPs. The PP nafenopin (50 microM) was unable to stimulate DNA synthesis measured by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation in these PPARalpha null mouse hepatocytes (96% of control), unlike epidermal growth factor, a growth factor used as a positive control. In assays of apoptosis using H33258 staining of chromatin condensation, nafenopin was unable to suppress either spontaneous or TGFbeta1-induced apoptosis. In contrast, high concentrations of TNFalpha (>500 U/ml) were able to both stimulate DNA synthesis (204% of control) and suppress apoptosis in PPARalpha null hepatocytes (40% and 38% of control for spontaneous and TGFbeta1-induced apoptosis respectively). However, TNFalpha could not stimulate beta-oxidation of palmitoyl CoA in either PPARalpha null mouse or B6C3F1 (PPARalpha wild type) mouse hepatocytes. These data confirm the dependence of the response to PPs on PPARalpha by demonstrating that PPARalpha mediates the suppression of hepatocyte apoptosis in response to PPs. In addition, the data provide evidence that high concentrations of TNFalpha can modulate DNA synthesis and apoptosis in the absence of PPs and PPARalpha. Thus, in vivo, physiological levels of TNFalpha may be permissive for a PPARalpha-dependent growth response to PPs.
