Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ-Mediated Polarization of Macrophages in Leishmania Infection
Infection is the outcome of a contest between a pathogen and its host. In the disease leishmaniasis, the causative protozoan parasites are harbored inside the macrophages. Leishmania species adapt strategies to make the infection chronic, keeping a balance between their own and the host's defense so as to establish an environment that is favorable for survival and propagation. Activation of per...
متن کاملStimulatory Effects of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ on Fcγ Receptor-Mediated Phagocytosis by Alveolar Macrophages
Alveolar macrophages abundantly express PPAR-gamma, with both natural and synthetic agonists maintaining the cell in a quiescent state hyporesponsive to antigen stimulation. Conversely, agonists upregulate expression and function of the cell-surface receptor CD36, which mediates phagocytosis of lipids, apoptotic neutrophils, and other unopsonized materials. These effects led us to investigate t...
متن کاملAmniotic membrane induces peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ positive alternatively activated macrophages.
PURPOSE Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) reportedly improves herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK). Here we studied the role of the amniotic membrane (AM) on macrophages. METHODS BALB/c mice with necrotizing HSK received an AMT or tarsorrhaphy (TAR) as control. Apoptosis of F4/80+ cells was determined using the annexinV/7-AAD system. Macrophage invasion was determined using a cornea invasio...
متن کاملEffect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ on inflammatory markers
Introduction In a recent study published in “ARYA atherosclerosis,” Pourmoghaddas et al. reported that administration of pioglitzone in non-diabetic patients with metabolic syndrome had no positive effect on inflammatory markers including high sensitive C-reactive protein, interleukin-10 (IL-10), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).1 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligan...
متن کاملRole of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ in Vascular Inflammation
Vascular inflammation plays a crucial role in atherosclerosis, and its regulation is important to prevent cerebrovascular and coronary artery disease. The inflammatory process in atherogenesis involves a variety of immune cells including monocytes/macrophages, lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and neutrophils, which all express peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ). PPAR-γ is a nucl...
