Fig. 4From: Targeting Tyro3, Axl and MerTK (TAM receptors): implications for macrophages in the tumor microenvironmentNuclear receptors regulate gene transcription post-efferocytosis. PPARs and LXRs form heterodimers with RXRs to regulate gene transcription. Following efferocytosis, lipid components and metabolites from the apoptotic cell bind PPARs and LXRs. These activated nuclear receptors act as transcription factors to upregulate MERTK, AXL and M2-associated gene expressionBack to article page
