Recently, we provided evidence that PKC{alpha} depletion in monocytes/macrophages contributes to cellular desensitization during sepsis. We demonstrate that peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor {gamma} (PPAR{gamma}) agonists dose dependently block PKC{alpha} depletion in response to the diacylglycerol homologue PMA in RAW 264.7 and human monocyte–derived macrophages. In these cells, we observed PPAR{gamma}-dependent inhibition of nuclear factor-{kappa}B (NF-{kappa}B) activation and TNF-{alpha} expression in response to PMA. Elucidating the underlying mechanism, we found PPAR{gamma}1 expression not only in the nucleus but also in the cytoplasm. Activation of PPAR{gamma}1 wild type, but not an agonist-binding mutant of PPAR{gamma}1, attenuated PMA-mediated PKC{alpha} cytosol to membrane translocation. Coimmunoprecipitation assays pointed to a protein–protein interaction of PKC{alpha} and PPAR{gamma}1, which was further substantiated using a mammalian two-hybrid system. Applying PPAR{gamma}1 mutation and deletion constructs, we identified the hinge helix 1 domain of PPAR{gamma}1 that is responsible for PKC{alpha} binding. Therefore, we conclude that PPAR{gamma}1-dependent inhibition of PKC{alpha} translocation implies a new model of macrophage desensitization.
