Proinflammatory Actions of Glucocorticoids: Glucocorticoids and TNFα Coregulate Gene Expression In Vitro and In Vivo
6 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
Synthetic glucocorticoids are widely used for treatment of many inflammatory diseases. However, long-term glucocorticoid treatment can cause a variety of negative side effects. A genome-wide microarray analysis was performed in human lung A549 cells to identify genes regulated by both the antiinflammatory steroid dexamethasone (Dex) and the proinflammatory cytokine TNFα. Unexpectedly, we discovered that numerous...
