Molecular mechanisms and Th1/Th2 pathways in corticosteroid regulation of cytokine production
We focus on how the IL-1 system, T-helper1 (Th1) or Th2 cytokines and glucocorticoids, converge to give a unified physiological response. Glucocorticoids inhibit IL-1 and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) expression, Th1 cytokines stimulate both and Th2 cytokines stimulate IL-1ra and inhibit IL-1. T...

Glucocorticoids inhibit cytokine-induced transcription factors (NFkB, AP1) and cytokines enhance glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transcriptional activity, thus reciprocally fine tuning immunological control mechanisms.
