Novel mechanism of glucocorticoid-mediated gene repression. Nuclear factor-kappa B is target for glucocorticoid-mediated interleukin 8 gene repression.
1 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
A glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, inhibited the production of a leukocyte chemotactic cytokine, interleukin 8 (IL-8), as well as mRNA expression by a glioblastoma cell line, T98G, stimulated with interleukin 1 (IL-1). Dexamethasone also inhibited IL-8 promoter-driven chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) activities induced by IL-1, suggesting that dexamethasone inhibited IL-8 production mainly at the...
