Journal ArticleDOI
Macrophage-specific PPARγ controls alternative activation and improves insulin resistance
Justin I. Odegaard,Roberto R. Ricardo-Gonzalez,Matthew H. Goforth,Christine R. Morel,Vidya Subramanian,Lata Mukundan,Alex Red Eagle,Divya Vats,Frank Brombacher,Anthony W. Ferrante,Ajay Chawla +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that mice with macrophage-specific deletion of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) are required for maturation of alternatively activated macrophages, and gene expression profiling revealed that downregulation of oxidative phosphorylation gene expression in skeletal muscle and liver leads to decreased insulin sensitivity in these tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eosinophils Sustain Adipose Alternatively Activated Macrophages Associated with Glucose Homeostasis
Davina Wu,Ari B. Molofsky,Hong-Erh Liang,Roberto R. Ricardo-Gonzalez,Hani A. Jouihan,Jennifer K. Bando,Ajay Chawla,Richard M. Locksley +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that eosinophils are the major IL-4–expressing cells in white adipose tissues of mice, and, in their absence, AAMs are greatly attenuated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative (M2) activation of Kupffer cells by PPARδ ameliorates obesity-induced insulin resistance
Justin I. Odegaard,Roberto R. Ricardo-Gonzalez,Alex Red Eagle,Divya Vats,Christine R. Morel,Matthew H. Goforth,Vidya Subramanian,Lata Mukundan,Anthony W. Ferrante,Ajay Chawla +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that in response to the Th2 cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARdelta) directs expression of the alternative phenotype in Kupffer cells and adipose tissue macrophages of lean mice, suggesting an unexpected beneficial role for alternatively activated K upffer cells in metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulatory T Cells in Skin Facilitate Epithelial Stem Cell Differentiation
Niwa Ali,Niwa Ali,Bahar Zirak,Robert Rodriguez,Mariela L. Pauli,Hong-An Truong,Kevin Lai,Richard Ahn,Kaitlin Corbin,Margaret M. Lowe,Tiffany C. Scharschmidt,Keyon Taravati,Madeleine R. Tan,Roberto R. Ricardo-Gonzalez,Audrey Nosbaum,Marta Bertolini,Wilson Liao,Frank O. Nestle,Ralf Paus,George Cotsarelis,Abul K. Abbas,Michael Rosenblum +21 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Tregs in skin play a major role in HF biology by promoting the function of HF SCs and expression of Jag1 facilitated HFSC function and efficient HF regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
PPAR-δ senses and orchestrates clearance of apoptotic cells to promote tolerance
Lata Mukundan,Justin I. Odegaard,Christine R. Morel,Christine R. Morel,José E Castellanos Heredia,Julia W. Mwangi,Roberto R. Ricardo-Gonzalez,Y. P. Sharon Goh,Alex Red Eagle,Shannon E. Dunn,Jennifer U.H. Awakuni,Khoa D. Nguyen,Lawrence Steinman,Sara A. Michie,Ajay Chawla +14 more
TL;DR: PPAR-δ has a pivotal role in orchestrating the timely disposal of apoptotic cells by macrophages, ensuring that tolerance to self is maintained.
