note = {The exact mechanism of estrogen in cardiovascular disease is not fully understood. As estrogen receptors (ERs), the peroxisome-proliferator-activated-receptor-gamma (PPRA-gamma) belongs to the family of ligands activated nuclear receptors regulating atheroprective genes. The aim of this project was to investigate whether vascular effects of estrogen are mediated via PPAR-gamma regulation in the vascular compartment. Estrogen deficient ovariectomized Wildtype-mice (OVX) displayed significant reduction of PPAR-gamma expression in the aortic tissue compared to Wiltype-mice with intact ovarian function (Sham). Hormone replacement with subdermal 17-beta-estradiol pellets significantly increased vascular PPAR-gamma expression in ovariectomized female Wildtype-mice (OVX/E2). Analagous to Wildtype-mice, estrogen-deficient OVX ApoE-/- mice had low vascular PPAR-gamma expression associated with ROS generation, endothelial dysfunction and atherogenesis. Estrogen replacement (OVX/E2) rescued vascular PPAR-gamma expression, reduced ROS generation, monocyte recruitment, atherosclerotic lesion formation and improved endothelial function. Inhibition of PPAR-gamma by GW9662, a specific PPAR-gamma antagonist reduced 17-beta-estradiol mediated vascular effects (OVX/E2 + GW9662). Finally, despite estrogen deficiency treatment with pioglitazone (OVX +pioglitazone), a selective PPAR-gamma agonist, compensates deterioration of vascular morphology and function. 17-beta-estradiol regulates vascular PPAR-gamma expression in Wildtype- and ApoE-/- mice. The present data demonstrate the fundamental relevance of PPAR-gamma as downstream target of 17-beta-estradiol related anti-inflammatory and atheroprotective effects within the vascular wall independent of its cardiovascular risk factor modification.},
