(Submitter supplied) Glucocorticoids regulate diverse physiologic processes and synthetic derivatives of these natural hormones are widely used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. However, chronic administration often triggers insensitivity and serious side effects including osteoporosis. The underlying mechanisms regulating these side effects are not completely understood. We report here that human osteosarcoma U-2 OS bone cells lacking the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) are resistant to glucocorticoid killing whereas the expression of wild-type GR activates an apoptotic program. more...

(Submitter supplied) A mutation in the dimerization domain of the mouse glucocorticoid receptor (GR), dim1, has recently been shown to bind DNA and regulate gene expression. To expand these studies we created a stable osteosarcoma (U-2 OS) cell line expressing four mutations in the dimerization domain of the human GR, dim4 (N454D, A458T, R460D, D462C), and used whole human genome microarray analysis to compare differences in gene regulation between vehicle treated (CON) and those treated with the glucocorticoid receptor agonist dexamethasone (DEX) at 100nM concentration for 6 hours.

(Submitter supplied) Gene expression analysis was conducted using Agilent Human1Av2 arrays (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA). Two separate biological replicates of cytoplasmic RNA samples were harvested and purified from each of the U-2 OS cell lines stably expressing hGRalpha, -A, -B, -C3, or D3 treated with 100 nM DEX or vehicle for 6 hours using RNeasy Midi kits (Invitrogen). These RNA samples were amplified using the Agilent Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit protocol. more...

(Submitter supplied) A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the human glucocorticoid receptor (GR), N363S, has been the focus of several clinical studies, and some epidemiological data link this SNP to increased glucocorticoid sensitivity, coronary artery disease and increased body mass index (BMI). However, molecular studies in vitro using reporter gene expression systems have failed to define a link between this polymorphism and altered glucocorticoid receptor function. more...

(Submitter supplied) Glucocorticoids are critical components of combination chemotherapy regimens in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, the signaling pathways regulating apoptosis in glucocorticoid-treated lymphoid cells remain unclear. In this study, pediatric ALL patient-derived xenograft inherently sensitive to glucocorticoids were exposed to dexamethasone in vivo. Whole-genome GR binding sites and histone acetylation status were detected using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing analyses. more...

(Submitter supplied) Glucocorticoids are critical components of combination chemotherapy regimens in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The pro-apoptotic BIM protein is an important mediator of glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis in normal and malignant lymphocytes, while the anti-apoptotic BCL2 confers resistance. The signaling pathways regulating BIM and BCL2 expression in glucocorticoid-treated lymphoid cells remain unclear. more...

(Submitter supplied) In response to environmental stressors and a variety of inflammatory cytokines, p38 MAPKs become directly activated. Here we report the human glucocorticoid receptor (GR) Serine 134 as a novel target for p38 MAPK. Unlike most other phosphorylation events that occur on the GR, phosphorylation of Ser134 was found to be hormone-independent in several human and rat cell types. Instead we found phosphorylation of Ser134 was induced by a variety of stress-activating stimuli, including: glucose starvation, ultraviolet irradiation, osmotic shock, and oxidative stress. more...

(Submitter supplied) GLUCOCORTICOIDS are steroid hormones that strongly influence intermediary carbohydrate metabolism by increasing the transcription rate of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) a key enzyme of gluconeogenesis, and suppress the immune system which makes them one of the most important therapeutic agents in the treatment of allergic, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The biologic actions of circulating glucocorticoids are transmitted to the cells nucleus by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). more...

(Submitter supplied) The glucocorticoid (GC) receptor (GR) is essential in development and inflammation. Healthy GRdim/dim mice with reduced dimerization propensity due to a point mutation (A465T) at the dimer interface of the GR DNA binding domain (DBD) (here GRD/D) have helped to define GR monomer and dimer functions of GR. Since GRD/D retains residual dimerization capacity, we generated the dimer-nullifying double mutant GRD+L/D+L mice, featuring an additional mutation (I634A) in the ligand binding domain (LBD) of GR. more...

(Submitter supplied) To further characterize the role of the unliganded glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in breast cells, we used an shRNA vector directed against GR to create EPH-4 mouse mammary cell lines with depleted endogenous levels of this receptor. RNA prepared from normal (EV-50) and GR-depleted (shGR-19) cells was used in an expression microarray screen for targets of unliganded GR. This analysis revealed 260 targets of negaive regulation by unliganded GR, and 343 targets of positive regulation by unliganded GR, several of which were involved in pro-apoptotic networks, and opposed the activity of liganded GR targets. more...

(Submitter supplied) Glucocorticoid resistance (GCR), i.e. unrespon­siveness to the beneficial anti-inflammatory activities of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), poses a serious problem in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. One possible solution to try and overcome GCR, is to identify molecules that prevent or revert GCR by hyper-stimulating the biological activity of the GR. To this purpose, we screened for compounds that potentiate the dexamethasone (Dex)-induced transcriptional activity of GR. more...

(Submitter supplied) Glucocorticoids (GCs) reduce the expression of many genes induced in inflammatory conditions in vivo or by pro-inflammatory stimuli in vitro acting on the Glucocorticoid receptor (GR/NR3C1). However, GCs have pleiotropic effects on the immune system. Monocytes and macrophages are important cells of the innate immune system, exhibiting complex properties with enhancing as well as suppressive effects on inflammatory processes depending on their stage of activation and differentiation. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Glucocorticoid receptor (GR/NR3C1) is expressed in almost all immune cells. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are potent regulators of inflammation with effects mainly immunosuppressive. While, GCs have pleiotropic effects on Macrophages exhibiting complex properties with enhancing as well as suppressive effects on inflammatory processes depending on their stage of differentiation and activation, the mechanisms of GCs actions on Monocytes and Macrophages and their contribution to systemic anti-inflammatory effects remain unclear. more...

(Submitter supplied) Glucorticoids (GCs) are steroid hormones with a wide range of physiological actions in different cell types and tissues. Their ability to induce apoptosis in malignant cells of the lymphoid lineage is exploited since decades in the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the molecular mechanism of this cell death induction being however still unknown. Using an integrative approach we delineated the transcriptional response of a preB- and a T-ALL model system employing Exon microarrays and identified in vivo interactions of the transcription factor GC receptor (GR) with genes' promoters in the same samples using the ChIP-on-chip technology. more...
