PG - 840194 LID - 10.1155/2011/840194 [doi] LID - 840194 AB - Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) forms a heterodimeric DNA-binding complex with retinoid X receptors (RXRs). It has been reported that the effect of the PPAR agonist is reduced in hepatocyte RXR-deficient mice. Therefore, it is suggested that the endogenous RXR ligand is involved in the PPARgamma agonist-induced anti-inflammatory effect. However, the participation of the RXR ligand in the PPARgamma-induced anti-inflammatory effect is unknown. Here, we investigated the influence of RXR antagonist on the anti-inflammatory effect of PPARgamma agonist pioglitazone in carrageenan test. In addition, we also examined the influence of PPAR antagonist on the anti-inflammatory effect induced by RXR agonist NEt-3IP. The RXR antagonist suppressed the antiedema effect of PPARgamma agonist. In addition, the anti-inflammatory effect of RXR agonist was suppressed by PPARgamma antagonist. PPARgamma agonist-induced anti-inflammatory effects were reversed by the RXR antagonist. Thus, we showed that the endogenous RXR ligand might contribute to the PPARgamma agonist-induced anti-inflammatory effect.
