Evaluation of glucocorticoid receptor function in COPD lung macrophages using beclomethasone-17-monopropionate.

Evaluation of glucocorticoid receptor function in COPD lung macrophages using beclomethasone-17-monopropionate.

Previous studies of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function in COPD lung macrophages have used dexamethasone to evaluate inhibition of cytokine production. We have now used the clinically relevant corticosteroid beclomethasone-17-monopropionate (17-BMP) to assess GR function in COPD lung macrophages,...
