Progesterone inhibits mature rat dendritic cells in a receptor-mediated fashion (2007)
Butts, Cherie L., Shukair, Shetha A., Duncan, Kristina M., Bowers, Eve, Horn, Cash, Belyavskaya, Elena, ...
A variety of extraimmune system factors, including hormones, play a critical role in regulating immunity. Progesterone has been shown to affect immunity in rodents and humans, mainly at...

Neural immune pathways and their connection to inflammatory diseases (2003)
Eskandari, Farideh, Webster, Jeanette I, Sternberg, Esther M
Abstract Inflammation and inflammatory responses are modulated by a bidirectional communication between the neuroendocrine and immune system. Many lines of research have established the numerous...
Anthrax lethal factor represses glucocorticoid and progesterone receptor activity
Webster, Jeanette I., Tonelli, Leonardo H., Moayeri, Mahtab, Simons, S. Stoney, Leppla, Stephen H., Sternberg, Esther M.
We report here that a bacterial toxin, anthrax lethal toxin (LeTx), at very low concentrations represses glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transactivation in a transient transfection system and the...

Endocrine Perturbation Increases Susceptibility of Mice to Anthrax Lethal Toxin
Moayeri, Mahtab, Webster, Jeanette I., Wiggins, Jason F., Leppla, Stephen H., Sternberg, Esther M.
Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin (LT) causes vascular collapse and high lethality in BALB/cJ mice, intermediate lethality in C57BL/6J mice, and no lethality in DBA/2J mice. We found that...

Evaluation of steroid hormone receptor protein expression in intact cells using flow cytometry
Butts, Cherie L., Shukair, Shetha A., Duncan, Kristina M., Harris, Christopher W., Belyavskaya, Elena, Sternberg, Esther M.
Several methods are currently employed to evaluate expression of steroid hormone receptors in tissues and cells, including real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR)...
Tait, A. Sasha, Dalton, Monique, Geny, Blandine, D'Agnillo, Felice, Popoff, Michel R., Sternberg, Esther M.
We have previously shown that Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin represses glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transactivation. We now report that repression of GR activity also occurs with the large...
The role of glucocorticoids and progestins in inflammatory, autoimmune, and infectious disease
Tait, A. Sasha, Butts, Cherie L., Sternberg, Esther M.
A bidirectional communication exists between the CNS and the immune system. The autonomic nervous system, through neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, works in parallel with the...
