Therapeutic Benefit of a Dissociated Glucocorticoid and the Relevance of In Vitro Separation of Transrepression from Transactivation Activity
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the mainstay of asthma therapy; however, major side effects limit their therapeutic use. GCs influence the expression of genes either by transactivation or transrepression. The antiinflammatory effects of steroids are thought to be due to transrepression and the side effects, transactivation.
