TNF expression is elevated in asthma and other inflammatory airway diseases that are
commonly treated with glucocorticoid-based therapies, but the impact of glucocorticoids on
negative feedback control of TNF is not well understood. We analyzed the effect of
dexamethasone, a potent synthetic glucocorticoid, on TNF-regulated gene expression in
cultured airway epithelial cells. Although dexamethasone-mediated activation of the
glucocorticoid receptor (GR) potently repressed expression of IL1β, IL8, and several other …
