Abstract excerpt
Glucocorticoids exert diverse physiological functions through transcriptional regulation of genes including granzyme A (GZMA). GZMA is one of the apoptotic effectors localized in cytotoxic T lymphocytes and is considered to mediate glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis of human leukemia 697 cells. In the present study, we identified a novel 5' variant transcript of GZMA in dexamethasone (DEX)-treated 697 cells. We...
