Cross Talk between Glucocorticoid and Estrogen Receptors Occurs at a Subset of Proinflammatory Genes
1 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Glucocorticoids exert potent anti-inflammatory effects by repressing proinflammatory genes. We previously demonstrated that estrogens repress numerous proinflammatory genes in U2OS cells. The objective of this study was to determine if cross talk occurs between the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and estrogen receptor (ER)α. The effects of dexamethasone (Dex) and estradiol on 23 proinflammatory genes were examined...
