Molecular and functional evidence for in vitro cytokine enhancement of human and murine target cell sensitivity to glucocorticoids: TNF-α priming increases glucocorticoid inhibition of TNF-α-induced cytotoxicity/apoptosis

Cytokine-induced glucocorticoid secretion and glucocorticoid inhibition of cytokine synthesis and pleiotropic actions act as important safeguards in preventing cytokine overreaction. We found that TNF-α increased glucocorticoid-induced transcriptional activity of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) via...

We found that TNF-α increased glucocorticoid-induced transcriptional activity of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) via the glucocorticoid response elements (GRE) in L-929 mouse fibroblasts transfected with a glucocorticoid-inducible reporter plasmid. In addition, TNF-α also enhanced GR number. The TNF-α effect on transcriptional activity was absent in other cell lines that express TNF-α receptors but not GRs, and became manifest when a GR expression vector was cotransfected, indicating that TNF-α, independent of any effect it may have on GR number, has a stimulatory effect on the glucocorticoid-induced transcriptional activity of the GR.
