Pparg promotes differentiation and regulates mitochondrial gene expression in bladder epithelial cells

The nuclear receptor Pparg regulates urothelial differentiation in vitro but its role in healthy urothelium is unclear. Here, the authors show that PPAR gamma mediates urothelial development during both homeostasis (via mitochondrial function) and following infection, via an inflammatory response.
