PPARD
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR-delta) (NUCI) (Nuclear hormone receptor 1) (NUC1) (Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group C member 2) (Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor beta) (PPAR-beta) [NR1C2] [PPARB]

The 294T/C polymorphism in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARD) gene is associated with hyperlipidemia in several younger populations, but results are still inconsistence across ethnic groups and its possible impact on the lipid profiles of long-lived individuals remains unexploited. Here, we aimed to evaluate the possible correlation between PPARD 294T/C and serum lipid levels in a long-lived population in Bama, a region known for longevity situated in Guangxi, China. Genotyping of PPARD 294T/C polymorphism was conducted in 505 long-lived inhabitants (aged 90 and above, long-lived group, LG) and 468 healthy controls (aged 60-75, non-long-lived group, non-LG) recruited from Bama area. No difference in allelic and genotypic frequencies was found between the two groups (P>0.05). However, C-allele and C-genotype (TC and CC) were significantly more frequent in the females of non-LG than were LG after sex stratification. CC carriers exhibited higher LDL-C level in LG (P<0.05) but lower TC, TG and LDL-C in non-LG (P<0.05 for each) than TT carriers; C allele carriers (TC/CC) in LG exhibited higher TC, TG, and LDL-C levels as compared with the same genotype and the same lipid parameter in non-LG (P<0.05 for each). LDL-C in LG was correlated with genotypes while TC, TG, and LDL-C in non-LG were correlated with genotypes (P<0.05-0.001). Our results suggest that there were different impact patterns of PPARD 294T/C polymorphism on lipid profiles between long-lived cohort and average population in Bama area and this may be one of the genetic bases of its longevity.

Genotype and allele frequencies of uncoupling proteins 2 and 3 genes (UCP2 and UCP3) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors genes (PPARA, PPARD and PPARG) were studied in 206 residents of the siege and in 139 individuals of more than 69 years old (control group). Studied polymorphisms included UCP2 (Ala55Val), UCP3 (C-55T), PPARA (G/C), PPARD ( 294T/C), and PPARG (Pro12Ala). The G allele and the G/G genotype (PPARA) were overrepresented in the group of survivors and C/C (UCP3) genotype prevailed in the women of besieged Leningrad compared to relevant control groups of the persons of the same age who did not suffered hungry disaster. Feasible protective effects of PPARA gene allele G and C allele of UCP2 genes are briefly discussed.
