The role of glucocorticoid receptor phosphorylation in Mcl-1 and NOXA gene expression (2010)
Journal Article
Lynch, J. T., Rajendran, R., Xenaki, G., Berrou, I., Demonacos, C., & Krstic-Demonacos, M. (2010). The role of glucocorticoid receptor phosphorylation in Mcl-1 and NOXA gene expression. Molecular Cancer, 9(38), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1186/1476-4598-9-38

Background: The cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) mediated phosphorylation of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) exerts opposite effects on GR transcriptional activity and affects other posttranslational modification...

ROS & energy production pathways in the determination of resistance/sensitivity to glucocorticoids-induced apoptosis in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
Thesis
Berrou, I. ROS & energy production pathways in the determination of resistance/sensitivity to glucocorticoids-induced apoptosis in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. (Thesis). The University of Manchester. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/950671

Glucocorticoids have long been used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia due to their ability to cause cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of lymphoid cells. However, some patients do not respond to glucocorticoid treatment and the majority,...

Molecular mechanisms conferring resistance/sensitivity to glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis
Book Chapter
Berrou, I., Krstic-Demonacos, M., & Demonacos, C. Molecular mechanisms conferring resistance/sensitivity to glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis. In X. Xiaoxi Qian (Ed.), Glucocorticoids - New Recognition of Our Familiar Friend. IntechOpen. https://doi.org/10.5772/51467

Resistance to glucocorticoid induced apoptosis in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has been attributed to several different processes and pathways including predominance of certain GR isoforms with reduced transcriptional activity, either due to a...
