The present study aimed to explore the anti-inflammatory effects and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ)-activating properties of the angiotensin type 1 receptor blocker telmisartan by analysis of serum interleukin 6 levels and monocytic PPARγ target gene expression in drug-naïve patients with the metabolic syndrome. This was a 14-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 2-center study with telmisartan 80 mg/d and telmisartan 160 mg/d in 54 patients with the metabolic syndrome. In addition to clinical laboratory measurements, peripheral monocytes were extracted by negative isolation using a Dynal Monocyte kit to evaluate ligand-activated PPARγ target gene expression (CD36 and CD163) at baseline and study end using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. In this low-risk patient population, telmisartan (80 and 160 mg) treatment did not significantly affect serum interleukin 6 levels. Expression of the PPARγ target gene CD36 in monocytes was markedly induced by telmisartan from baseline to study end (telmisartan 80 mg: 2.3±1.5-fold change versus placebo [P value not significant]; telmisartan 160 mg: 3.5±0.9-fold change versus placebo [P<0.05]). The recently reported PPARγ target gene CD163 was slightly induced by telmisartan (telmisartan 80 mg: 1.1±0.3-fold change versus placebo [P value not significant]; telmisartan 160 mg: 1.4±0.4-fold change versus placebo [P value not significant]), which did not reach statistical significance. This is the first clinical description of monocytic PPARγ target gene regulation with high-dose telmisartan treatment. These data implicate that the angiotensin type 1 receptor blocker telmisartan activates PPARγ in circulating monocytes of patients with the metabolic syndrome.
