Glucocorticoids are widely used to treat inflammatory and malignant diseases. However, many individuals show a lack of therapeutic response and unwanted side-effects. Various known and unknown parameters determine glucocorticoid responsiveness, among them glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-interacting proteins. Several of the proteins interacting with GR also participate in other signal transduction pathways such as the AP-1 pathway and the nuclear factor-kappaB pathway. We suggest that a closer study of GR-interacting proteins may shed new light on mechanisms determining glucocorticoid sensitivity. In this commentary, the general mechanisms of GR action will be addressed and a proteomic-based method to study GR-interacting proteins will be described in brief.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
