Glucocorticoids: Effects on Gene Transcription
1 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
The major antiinflammatory effects of glucocorticoids appear to be due largely to interaction between the activated glucocorticoid receptor and transcription factors, notably nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activator protein-1, that mediate the expression of inflammatory genes. NF-kappaB switches on inflammatory genes via a process involving recruitment of transcriptional coactivator proteins and changes in...
