Either PPAR-δ or PPAR-γ antagonist abolished the effect of M. leprae to modify host gene expressions and inhibited intracellular lipid accumulation in host cells. M. leprae-specific gene expressions were detected in the skin smear samples both before and after MDT, whereas PPAR target gene expressions were dramatically diminished after MDT. These results suggest that M. leprae infection activates host PPAR signaling to induce an array of adipocyte differentiation-associated genes, leading to accumulation of intracellular lipids to ac
