Abstract excerpt
The mechanism by which the glucocorticoid (GC) dexamethasone induces apoptosis in multiple myeloma (MM) cells is unknown, although previous work suggests that either transactivation through the glucocorticoid response element (GRE), transrepression of NF-kappaB, phosphorylation of RAFTK (Pyk2), or induction of Bim is important. We studied this question by ectopically expressing mutant glucocorticoid receptors...
