摘要: This chapter deals with a particular organismic control mechanism established by hormones. Glucocorticoid hormones or retinoic acid as well vitamin D counteract proliferative, inflanmiatory, and immune responses. is why glucocorticoids are widely used in treating unwanted inflammatory reactions, asthma, autoimmune diseases, leukemia. The cross-talk function of nuclear receptors essential for adult life. It exerted interference the activity another transcription factor at step after formation preinitiation complex. mutual offers way to adjust pro- antiproliferative an elegant fine-tuned way. A new class cofactors appears be involved cross-talk. Because long-term systemic therapy can result severe side effects such osteoporosis joint necroses, current efforts directed toward distinguishing whether caused GRE-dependent genetic programs they intimately connected GR, which unavoidably these therapies. may possible select ligands that activate only function.
