Reduce cytokine production
Reduce prostaglandin production
Very powerful immunosuppression

Question 13

What is transgression of corticosteroids

Answer 13

Bound glucocorticoid on receptor
Gr moves into nucleus
Interferes with other TF - decrease pro inflammatory proteins
Binds to NF-KB element and GR cells switch it off
Reduces mRNA production

GR attatched to receptor moves into nucleus
Regulates gene expression
Increases anti-inflammatory protein
GR attatches to glucocorticoids response element
Leads to upregulation of I-KB
InhibitsNF-KB
