Distinct effects of glucocorticoid on pseudorabies virus infection in neuron-like and epithelial cells.
J Virol

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a porcine neurotropic alphaherpesvirus that infects peripheral tissues of its host, spreads into the nervous system, and establishes a life-long latency in neuronal cells. During productive infection, PRV replicates rapidly and causes pseudorabies or Aujeszky's disease. Reactivation from latent infection in the nervous system may lead to anterograde axonal transport of progeny virions, leading to recurrent infection of the epithelial layer and virus spread.

Glucocorticoid resistance syndrome (GRS) is caused by inactivating pathogenic variants in the glucocorticoid receptor gene . Reduced glucocorticoid receptor signaling leads to decreased tissue sensitivity to cortisol and resultant biochemical hypercortisolism without the classic clinical features of Cushing syndrome. Patients variably present with signs and symptoms of mineralocorticoid and androgen excess from ACTH overstimulation of the adrenal cortex.

Clin Exp Hepatol
March 2024
Department of Pediatric Hepatology, Gastroenterology and Nutrition, National Liver Institute, Menoufia University, Shebin El-Kom, Menoufia, Egypt.
Aim Of The Study: This study was performed to investigate the hepatic expression of glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) in pediatric autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) patients and its relation to the steroid response.
Material And Methods: This study included 100 patients diagnosed with AIH on immunosuppressive therapy with different responses to treatment. The patients were subjected to full history taking and thorough clinical examination, laboratory investigations, abdominal ultrasound and liver biopsy for histopathological evaluation and assessment of the hepatic expression of GR and 11β-HSD1.
Efficacy and safety of avacopan in antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis: a retrospective cohort study in Japan.
BMC Rheumatol
January 2025
Department of Nephrology and Rheumatology, Aichi Medical University, 1-1 Karimata, Yazako, Nagakute, Aichi, 480-1195, Japan.
Background: Avacopan, an oral C5a receptor antagonist, demonstrated efficacy as an alternative to glucocorticoid therapy in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) in the phase 3 ADVOCATE trial. However, limited real-world data exist on the outcomes and experiences associated with avacopan use for AAV in Japan.
Methods: We performed a single-centre retrospective analysis and evaluated 21 patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed AAV who received avacopan.
Leveraging nuclear receptor mediated transcriptional signaling for drug discovery: Historical insights and current advances.
Adv Protein Chem Struct Biol

Department of Life Sciences, Kristu Jayanti College, Autonomous, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Electronic address:
Nuclear receptors (NRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate gene expression in response to physiological signals, such as hormones and other chemical messengers. These receptors either activate or repress the transcription of target genes, which in turn promotes or suppresses physiological processes governing growth, differentiation, and homeostasis. NRs bind to specific DNA sequences and, in response to ligand binding, either promote or hinder the assembly of the transcriptional machinery, thereby influencing gene expression at the transcriptional level.
