Repression of glucocorticoid-stimulated angiopoietin-like 4 gene transcription by insulin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Angiopoietin-like 4 (Angptl4) is a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) primary target gene in hepatocytes and adipocytes. It encodes a secreted protein that inhibits extracellular LPL and promotes adipocyte lipolysis.

Regulation of CYP3A genes by glucocorticoids in human lung cells [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/1z6]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2013
Inhaled glucocorticoids are the first-line treatment for patients with persistent asthma.  However, approximately thirty percent of patients exhibit glucocorticoid insensitivity, which may involve excess metabolic clearance of the glucocorticoids by ...

A general introduction to glucocorticoid biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroid hormones widely used for the treatment of inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. To exert their broad physiological and therapeutic effects, GCs bind to the GC receptor (GR) which belongs to the nuclear receptor ...

Pathway interactions between MAPKs, mTOR, PKA, and the glucocorticoid receptor in lymphoid cells

open access: yesCancer Cell International, 2007
Background Glucocorticoids are frequently used as a primary chemotherapeutic agent in many types of human lymphoid malignancies because they induce apoptosis through activation of the glucocorticoid receptor, with subsequent alteration of a complex ...

Identification of Glucocorticoid Receptor Target Genes That Potentially Inhibit Collagen Synthesis in Human Dermal Fibroblasts

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Over several decades, excess glucocorticoids (GCs) of endogenous or exogenous origin have been recognized to significantly inhibit collagen synthesis and accelerate skin aging. However, little is known regarding their molecular mechanisms.

The triterpene echinocystic acid and its 3-O-glucoside derivative are revealed as potent and selective glucocorticoid receptor agonists [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones widely used to control many inflammatory conditions. These effects are primarily attributed to glucocorticoid receptor transrepressional activities but with concomitant receptor transactivation associated with ...

B2 SINE RNA as a novel regulator of glucocorticoid receptor transcriptional activity

open access: yesNeurobiology of Stress, 2023
Glucocorticoids are a key component to the cellular response to stress. Glucocorticoids act via glucocorticoid receptors found ubiquitously in the brain and body.

Repression of DNA-binding dependent glucocorticoid receptor-mediated gene expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) affects the transcription of genes involved in diverse processes, including energy metabolism and the immune response, through DNA-binding dependent and independent mechanisms.

An unexpected, mild phenotype of glucocorticoid resistance associated with glucocorticoid receptor gene mutation case report and review of the literature

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2018
Background Glucocorticoid resistance is a rare, sporadic or familial condition caused by mutation of the gene encoding the glucocorticoid receptor (GR).

Glucocorticoids for human skin: New aspects of the mechanism of action [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Topical glucocorticoids have always been considered first-line drugs for inflammatory diseases of the skin and bronchial system. Applied systemically, glucocorticoids are used for severe inflammatory and immunological diseases and the inhibition of ...
