The activated mesangial cell is an important therapeutic target for the control of glomerulonephritis. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) has attracted considerable attention for its anti-inflammatory effects; however, its roles in the mesangial cells remain unknown. To determine the anti-inflammatory function of PPARalpha in mesangial cells, wild-type and Ppara-null cultured...
