Dexamethasone Influences Human Clock Gene Expression in Bronchial Epithelium and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells<i>in vitro</i>
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
We determined whether human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) could be used to analyze clock genes by studying their mRNA expressions in human bronchial epithelium (BEAS-2B) and PBMCs following stimulation by the glucocorticoid homologue dexamethasone (DEX) in vitro. PBMCs were obtained at 10:00 h from two diurnally active (approximately 07:00 to 23:00 h) healthy volunteers and were evaluated for hPer1...
