Disease relevance of Nr3c2

 

Psychiatry related information on Nr3c2

  • These MR-related alterations may participate in the pathogenesis of hippocampal changes observed in ageing, chronic stress and affective disorders [5].
  • For this purpose, the role of mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) and glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in control of HPA activity was examined during the SHRP and in response to 24 h of maternal deprivation [6].
  • This is the first detailed study of the ontogeny of these two genes and, in combination with previous work on the ontogeny of 11beta-HSD2 and the mineralocorticoid receptor, suggests potential critical periods of glucocorticoid sensitivity during development for several organ systems [7].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Nr3c2

  • To understand the role of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid signalling during development and in whole animal physiology, we have disrupted the mouse glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor gene by gene targeting [28].
  • Levels of GR and MR mRNA were examined by in situ hybridization and high-resolution silver emulsion autoradiography [29].
  • Indeed, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that endogenous MR, Ubc9, and SRC-1 were recruited to an endogenous ENaC gene promoter in a largely aldosterone-dependent manner [19].
  • Using a specific polyclonal antiserum raised in rabbit against amino acids 1-23 of the mouse mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) we investigated the developmental profile of MR expression in the murine CNS by immunocytochemistry [30].
  • Immunoprecipitation of the native MR from either partially purified or crude preparations of rat kidney cytosol with hMRsN, followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver stain, demonstrated a major protein band with a mol wt of 116 kilodaltons [31].
