A Conserved Molecular Mechanism Is Responsible for the Auto-Up-Regulation of Glucocorticoid Receptor Gene Promoters
23 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Glucocorticoid (GC) hormones are widely used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Whereas a high level of GC receptor (GR) protein is associated with the sensitivity of ALL cells to steroid-mediated apoptosis, the auto-up-regulation of human (h)GR mRNA and protein is also found in hormone-sensitive ALL cell lines. We have characterized the hGR gene-proximal promoters for DNA sequences and...
