Abstract excerpt
Aldosterone stimulates the endothelin-1 gene (Edn1) in renal collecting duct (CD) cells by a mechanism involving the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The goal of the present study was to determine if the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone affected Edn1 gene expression and to characterize GR binding patterns to an element in the Edn1 promoter. Dexamethasone (1μM) induced a...
