Phospholipidosis (PL), a disorder characterized by an accumulation of phospholipids in lysosome-derived multilamellar vesicles owing to abnormal lipid metabolism. Amiodarone (AM), an antiarrhythmic drug, can induce pulmonary PL. First, to evaluate potential mechanisms of phospholipidosis, we found lipid metabolism--related genes by microarray. PPARG, FADS2, and SCD out of these genes were key genes in lipid metabolism and PPAR signaling by AM. The messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of PPARG, FADS2, and ...[more]
