“…Agonists of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), such as dexamethasone (Dex) and hydrocortisone, synergistically increase expression of genes induced by tRA (Medh & Schmidt, 1997; Tsai et al, 2000), including NIS (Dohan et al, 2006; Kogai et al, 2005; Unterholzner et al, 2006). Dex significantly increases iodide uptake (>3-fold with 10 −7 M tRA) in MCF-7 cells both in the presence and absence of tRA (Kogai et al, 2005).…”
