Glucocorticoid Receptor α Isoform-Selective Regulation of Antiapoptotic Genes in Osteosarcoma Cells: A New Mechanism for Glucocorticoid Resistance
28 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Glucocorticoids regulate a variety of physiological processes and are commonly used to treat disorders of inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. Glucocorticoid action is predominantly mediated through the classic glucocorticoid receptor (GR)α isoform. Recent data suggest that the mature GRα mRNA is translated into multiple N-terminal isoforms that have distinct biochemical properties and gene regulatory...
