Molecular origins for the dominant negative function of human glucocorticoid receptor beta.
This study molecularly elucidates the basis for the dominant negative mechanism of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) isoform hGRbeta, whose overexpression is associated with human glucocorticoid resistance. Using a series of truncated hGRalpha mutants and sequential mutagenesis to generate a series of hGRalpha/beta hybrids, we find that the absence of helix 12 is neither necessary nor sufficient...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of glucocorticoid action and selective glucocorticoid receptor agonists.
Glucocorticoids (GC) are the most common used anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs in the treatment of rheumatic and other inflammatory diseases. Their therapeutic effects are considered to be mediated by four different mechanisms of action: the classical genomic mechanism of action caused by the cytosolic glucocorticoid receptor (cGCR); secondary non-genomic effects which are also ini...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of glucocorticoid receptor signaling.
This review highlights the most recent findings on the molecular mechanisms of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Most effects of glucocorticoids are mediated by the intracellular GR which is present in almost every tissue and controls transcriptional activation via direct and indirect mechanisms. Nevertheless the glu-cocorticoid responses are tissue -and gene- specific. GR associates selectivel...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Glucocorticoid Receptor Action
Glucocorticoids are the most effective therapy for the treatment of many chronic infl ammatory diseases such as asthma and infl ammatory bowel disease (Ito et al., 2006a). In contrast to the situation in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a common and debilitating chronic infl ammatory disease of the lung, is glucocorticoid insensitive (Barnes, 2000a, b; Culpitt et al., 2003)...
متن کاملThe Molecular Basis of PPAR Function
Over the past four and a half years, fifteen issues of PPAR Research have been published and an additional five are currently in various phases of production. Collectively, these issues have covered a large array of physiological functions of PPARs in health and disease, including their functions in diverse cell and tissue types, their roles in a host of clinical conditions, and their rich phar...
