1 Based on such observations we hypothesized that PPARgamma expression would be repressed in alveolar macrophages from animals bearing granulomas induced by MWCNT instillation. mwcnt peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
2 RESULTS: In wild-type mice, alveolar macrophage PPARgamma expression and activity were significantly reduced in granuloma-bearing animals 60 days after MWCNT instillation. mwcnt peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
3 PPARgamma KO mice also demonstrated elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in lung tissue, laser-microdissected lung granulomas, and BAL cells/fluids, at 60 days post MWCNT exposure. mwcnt peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
