Do cytokines and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma ligand regulate phagocytosis by pancreatic stellate cells?
Pancreatic stellate cells act as resident phagocytic cells, and CD36 promotes troglitazone-induced phagocytic activity via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma transactivation. Because phagocytosis is essential to limit the extent of inflammation, enhancement of phagocytic activity may provide an important approach to the treatment of pancreatic diseases.
