Activation of LXRs using the synthetic agonist GW3965 represses the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by murine mast cells

Background: The activation of liver X receptor (LXR) α or LXRβ negatively regulates the expression of pro-inflammatory genes in mammalian cells. We recently reported that 25-hydroxycholesterol, a representative LXR-activating oxysterol, suppresses IL-6 production in mouse mast cells (MCs) following...
