1 Furthermore, BMDM treated with inhibitors of PPARgamma and STAT6, pivotal transcription factors that mediate the activity of Se and IL-4, respectively, showed complete ablation of Se-dependent expression of M2 markers. Selenium peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
2 In summary, these studies suggest that Se supplementation of macrophages produces endogenous activators to mediate the PPARgamma-dependent switch from M1 to M2 phenotype in the presence of IL-4, possibly affecting pathways of wound healing and inflammation resolution. Selenium peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
