HODE reduces GR-α and its activation in BEAS-2B cells. (A) Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation was estimated in nuclear extract of HODE induced Beas2B cells (details in methods). (B and C) Levels of IL-8 and MCP1-α in the supernatants of cultured human bronchial epithelia, induced with HODE and DEX. (D) Transcript levels of GR-α normalized to α-tubulin. Data represents mean ± SE; n = 3–5; *p < 0.05, NS: non-significant.
