PPARβ/{delta}-null mice exhibit enhanced tumorigenesis in a two-stage chemical carcinogenesis model as compared to wild-type mice. Previous work showed that ligand activation of PPARβ/{delta} induces terminal differentiation and inhibits proliferation of primary keratinocytes, and this effect does not occur in the absence of PPARβ/{delta} expression. In the present studies, the effect of ligand activation of PPARβ/{delta} on skin tumorigenesis was examined using both in vivo and ex vivo skin carcinogenesis models. Inhibition of chemically-induced skin tumorigenesis was observed in wild-type mice administered GW0742, and this effect was likely the result of ligand-induced terminal differentiation and inhibition of replicative DNA synthesis. These effects were not found in similarly treated PPARβ/{delta}-null mice. Ligand activation of PPARβ/{delta} also inhibited cell proliferation and induced terminal differentiation in initiated/neoplastic keratinocyte cell lines representing different stages of skin carcinogenesis. These studies suggest that topical administration of PPARβ/{delta} ligands may be useful as both a chemopreventive and/or chemotherapeutic approach to inhibit skin cancer.
