    • A cDNAclone fortheratglucocorticoid receptor (GR)wasusedtostudy mechanisms ofGR mRNA regulation. Treatment ofrathepatoma culture cells with0.5 MAMdexamethasone caused asmall, initial increase intheGR mRNAlevel after 6hraswell asa50%to95%reduction ofthe GRmRNAlevel after 24hrofincubation whenstudied byRNA blot hybridization. After 72hr,theinitial GRmRNAlevel was restored. Thedown-regulation ofGRmRNAlevels appears to beindependent ofprotein synthesis, since italso wasobserved inthepresence… CONTINUE READING
