Glucocorticoid sensitivity is determined by a specific glucocorticoid receptor haplotype.
Differences in glucocorticoid (GC) sensitivity may underlie both common diseases (e.g. hypertension) and variability in response to treatment with GCs (e.g. asthma). We tested the potential involvement of the GC receptor (GR) gene in mediating GC sensitivity using haplotype analysis and a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test. Linkage disequilibrium across the GR gene was determined in 216 U....

متن کاملAgonist-specific modulation of glucocorticoid receptor-mediated transcription by immunosuppressants.
Although the immunosuppressive drugs FK506, rapamycin and cyclosporin A have been reported to potentiate transcriptional activation mediated by a non-saturating concentration of the glucocorticoid receptor agonist dexamethasone, the precise mechanism(s) underlying these responses remains unclear. The murine L-929-derived LMCAT cell line stably transfected with the mouse mammary tumor virus prom...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in the glucocorticoid receptor gene that modulate glucocorticoid sensitivity are associated with rheumatoid arthritis
INTRODUCTION The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) plays an important regulatory role in the immune system. Four polymorphisms in the GR gene are associated with differences in glucocorticoid (GC) sensitivity; the minor alleles of the polymorphisms N363 S and BclI are associated with relative hypersensitivity to GCs, while those of the polymorphisms ER22/23EK and 9β are associated with relative GC r...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid receptor transcriptional activity determined by spacing of receptor and nonreceptor DNA sites.
The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) displays distinct modes of regulation when bound at glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) bearing different binding sequences and arrangements of binding sites. For example, it has been shown to activate transcription synergistically with itself or with other regulatory factors, such as AP1, when bound to a consensus palindromic element or "simple GRE" that is...
