title: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors are expressed in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells.
abstract: We examined the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and the role of PPARs in cytokine production in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (mBMMCs). mBMMCs expressed PPARbeta strongly and gamma slightly, but not alpha. Activation of mBMMCs with antigen or calcium ionophore resulted in the increased expression of PPARgamma mRNA specifically. 15-Deoxy-Delta(12, 14)-prostaglandin J(2) (15d-PGJ(2)) and troglitazone, all PPARgamma ligands, attenuated the antigen-induced cytokine production by mBMMCs. Carbaprostacyclin, a PPARbeta ligand, also inhibited cytokine production, whereas PPARalpha ligands did not. These results suggest that PPARbeta and gamma might be included in the negative regulation of mast cell activation.
