Fig. 4From: LPS regulates the expression of glucocorticoid receptor α and β isoforms and induces a selective glucocorticoid resistance in vitroGC Sensitivity Assay in Transactivated Genes. PBMC from healthy individuals were cultured for 24 h with or without LPS, follow for Dex 100 nM for 6 h. MKP1 (a) and FKPB5 (b) mRNA expression was analyzed by RT-PCR. The median values of three different experiments, plotted as values relative to control, are shown. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01Back to article page
