1 In the present study, we showed that human leukemic cell lines, not only myeloid but also lymphoid, express PPAR gamma and its activation by natural ligand (15-deoxy-Delta(12,14) - prostaglandin J(2)) and synthetic ligand (troglitazone) profoundly inhibited their proliferation by induction of apoptosis preferentially in the serum-free culture. 15-deoxy-delta peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Homo sapiens
