Aims: Our aim was to explore the mechanism underlying the transcriptional regulation of adiponectin and its receptors (AdipoR) in cultured rat cardiac fibroblasts.

Methods and results: Using western blot and real-time RT–PCR assays, the expression of adiponectin and its receptors was determined. Using Southwestern blot and electrophoretic mobility shift assays, the DNA binding activity of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor {gamma} (PPAR{gamma}) was determined. The results showed that adiponectin and AdipoR1 were highly expressed in cultured rat cardiac fibroblasts. Inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) by 3-aminobenzamide, PJ34, or PARP-1 siRNA markedly increased the transcription of adiponectin and AdipoR1 in cultured fibroblasts, mature 3T3 L1 adipocytes, rat myocardium, and white adipose tissue. PPAR{gamma} was poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated by PARP-1 in cardiac fibroblasts under basal conditions. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of PPAR{gamma} prevented its binding to DNA. Inhibition of PARP-1 enhanced the DNA binding and transactivation of PPAR{gamma} and increased the transcription of PPAR{gamma}-target genes including CD36, lipoprotein lipase, and leptin in cultured fibroblasts.

Conclusion: PARP-1 inhibits adiponectin and AdipoR1 expression as well as PPAR{gamma} transactivation through poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of PPAR{gamma} in cultured rat cardiac fibroblasts.
