Glucocorticoid receptor physiology
Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2007Glucocorticoid action in cells is mediated by a specific receptor protein, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). GR is a member of a superfamily of ligand-inducible transcription factors that control a variety of physiological functions; such as, metabolism, development, and reproduction.

Endocrine, 2007
We previously reported that glucocorticoid receptor (GR) blockade (injected with GR antagonist RU486) primed the host responses to lipopolysaccharide. Since decrease of GR and elevated glucocorticoids (GCs) have been always reported as parallel responses, we hypothesize that both GCs and GR play important roles in GR blockade induced priming.

Xenobiotics and the Glucocorticoid Receptor
Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 2017Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) is present in virtually every human cell type. Representing a nuclear receptor superfamily, GR has several different isoforms essentially acting as ligand-dependent transcription factors, regulating glucocorticoid-responsive gene expression in both a positive and a negative manner.

Localization of glucocorticoid receptors and glucocorticoid receptor mRNAs in the rat cochlea
The Laryngoscope, 1993AbstractThe distribution of glucocorticoid (GR) receptor messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and GR receptors was studied by in situ hybridization histochemistry and immunocytochemistry, respectively. In situ hybridization histochemistry was performed with a biotin‐labeled riboprobe complementary to rat GR receptor mRNA.

The structure of glucocorticoid receptors
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1993The glucocorticoid receptor of mouse thymic lymphoma cells was investigated. The receptor-hormone complex in cytosolic extracts has a Stokes' radius of 82 A and Mw approximately 330 kDa. In the presence of salt at high concentrations, however, the receptor-complex has a Stokes' radius of 60 A and Mw approximately 120 kDa.

Glucocorticoid Receptors In the Brain
Hospital Practice, 1988The ability to downregulate the stress response is essential to good health. We still have much to learn about the biochemical bases of glucocorticoid effects on brain function—but it is now clear that the interaction between hormones and neurons provides a pathway by which thoughts and emotions can influence hormone secretion and hormones can ...

Glucocorticoid Receptors and Resistance to Glucocorticoids in Hematologic Malignancies
Leukemia & Lymphoma, 1994Glucocorticoids are highly effective in inducing the cytolysis of cells of lymphocytic origin. This property has resulted in their incorporation into chemotherapy regimens used in the treatment of hematologic malignancies. Studies at the molecular and cellular levels have demonstrated that the hormone-induced cytolytic response is mediated through a ...

Genetics of glucocorticoid receptors
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1986The lymphocytolytic effect of glucocorticoids has been used for isolating receptor mutants. They fall into several groups with defects either in the hormone binding domain or the DNA binding domain or with part of the receptor polypeptide missing. These truncated receptors have increased binding affinity for general DNA and are synthesized from 5 ...

Glucocorticoid Receptor Antagonists
Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2008This review covers recent progress in the discovery of selective glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonists. Potential therapeutic applications of selective GR antagonists are described including the pharmacological rationale and, in some cases, clinical evidence that underlies these proposed uses. Disease areas that are discussed are Cushing's syndrome,

CORTICOSTEROIDS | Glucocorticoid Receptors
2006Corticosteroids bind to and activate a cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptor (GR) which exists as several isoforms derived from a single gene product by alternative splicing. The activated glucocorticoid receptor translocates into the nucleus and binds to specific response elements in the promoter regions of anti-inflammatory genes such as lipocortin-1 ...
