Ligand-Activated Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor β/δ Facilitates Cell Proliferation in Human Cholesteatoma Keratinocytes

Figure 1

Immunohistochemical staining for proliferator-activated receptor β/δ. PPAR β/δ is scantily expressed in external auditory canal skin (a–c). PPAR β/δ is expressed in the cells mainly in the parabasal and basal layers of cholesteatoma epithelium (d–f). The intensity of its expression is decreased in the granular and prickle cell layers (magnification, ×200).
