Glucocorticoid Receptor Function In Vitro in Patients with Major Depression

Open access
Pariante, Carmine M.·2004·Stress

Abstract

Clinical studies have demonstrated an impairment of glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-mediated negative feedback on the hypothalamic--pituitary--adrenal (HPA) axis in patients with major depression (GR resistance), and its resolution by antidepressant treatment. Interestingly, a number of studies have also demonstrated that GR function is reduced in vitro, in peripheral tissues of depressed patients, as shown by a decreased sensitivity to the effects of glucocorticoids on immune and metabolic functions. This paper reviews the in vitro studies that have examined GR function in patients with major depression, and the possible molecular mechanisms involved in GR resistance. Since several studies have demonstrated similar regulation of GR in the brain and in peripheral tissues in humans, and given limited access to brain GR in clinical populations, this review claims that in vitro studies are of particular relevance to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying GR abnormalities in patients with major depression and its regulation by antidepressant treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
