Glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroid hormones widely used as pharmaceutical interventions, which act mainly by regulating gene expression levels. A large fraction of patients (~30%), especially those of African descent, show a weak response to treatment. To interrogate the contribution of variable tra...

Clinical response to glucocorticoids (GCs), steroid hormones widely used as pharmaceuticals, varies extensively, with many patients (~30%) showing a weak response to treatment. Although little is known about the molecular basis of this variation, regulatory polymorphisms are likely to play a key rol...

Glucocorticoids (GC) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2 D3) are steroid hormones with anti-inflammatory properties with enhanced effects when combined. We previously showed that transcriptional response to GCs was correlated with inter-individual and inter-ethnic cellular response. Here, we pro...

This study examines patterns of genome-wide transcriptional response to the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihyroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D), and the bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in primary human monocytes, to better understand pathways underlying the immunomodulatory role of 1,25D. Total RNA extrace...

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are key mediators of stress response and are widely used as pharmacological agents to treat immune diseases, such as asthma and inflammatory bowel disease, and certain types of cancer. GCs act mainly by activating the GC receptor (GR), which interacts with other transcription f...

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroid hormones produced by the human body in response to environmental stressors. Despite their key role as physiological regulators and widely administered pharmaceuticals, little is known about the genetic basis of inter-individual and inter-ethnic variation in GC respo...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
This study characterizes the genetic basis of variation in the immunomodulatory effects of the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D). This was done by mapping quantitative traits of 1,25D response both at the cellular and transcriptional level in peripheral blood mononuclear ce...
