PG - 121 LID - 10.1186/s12944-022-01726-7 [doi] LID - 121 AB - BACKGROUND: Histologically, cytoplasmic deposits of lipids and glycogen are common in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Owing to the significance of lipid deposition in ccRCC, numerous trials targeting lipid metabolism have shown certain therapeutic potential. The agonism of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) via ligands, including WY-14,643, has been considered a promising intervention for cancers. METHODS: First, the effects of WY-14,643 on malignant behaviors were investigated in ccRCC in vitro. After RNA sequencing, the changes in lipid metabolism, especially neutral lipids and glycerol, were further evaluated. Finally, the underlying mechanisms were revealed. RESULTS: Phenotypically, the proliferation and migration of ccRCC cells treated with WY-14,643 were significantly inhibited in vitro. A theoretical functional mechanism was proposed in ccRCC: WY-14,643 mediates lipid consumption by recognizing carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 A (CPT1A). Activation of PPARalpha using WY-14,643 reduces lipid deposition by increasing the CPT1A level, which also suppresses the NF-kappaB signaling pathway. Spatially, WY-14,643 binds and activates PPARalpha by targeting Gly335. CONCLUSION: Overall, WY-14,643 suppresses the biological behaviors of ccRCC in terms of cell proliferation, migration, and cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, its anticancer properties are mediated by the inhibition of lipid accumulation, at least in part, through the PPARalpha/CPT1A axis by targeting Gly335, as part of the process, NF-kappaB signaling is also suppressed. Pharmacological activation of PPARalpha might offer a new treatment option for ccRCC. CI - (c) 2022. The Author(s).
