Mechanisms of anti-inflammatory action and of immunosuppression by glucocorticoids: negative interference of activated glucocorticoid receptor with transcription factors.
Journal of neuroimmunology 2000;109(1):16-22.
Glucocorticoids are the most widely used anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents, whose mechanism of action is based mainly on interference with the activity of transcription factors, such as nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1). The precise molecular mechanisms of gene repression by glucocorticoids are a controversial matter, due to the existence of many conflicting hypotheses. We discuss the three main paradigms reported in the literature, namely the inhibitor kappaB-alpha (IkappaB-alpha) upregulatory model, the protein-protein interaction model and the competition model.
