  • Title: Alternatively spliced glucocorticoid receptor messenger RNAs in glucocorticoid-resistant human multiple myeloma cells.
    Author: Moalli PA, Pillay S, Krett NL, Rosen ST.
    Journal: Cancer Res; 1993 Sep 01; 53(17):3877-9. PubMed ID: 8358712.
    Abstract:
    Glucocorticoids are highly effective chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of hematological malignancies including multiple myeloma. However, the clinical usefulness of this class of drugs is limited by the problem of resistance. In the following study, we have isolated two alternatively spliced transcripts of the glucocorticoid receptor from a complementary DNA library generated from the glucocorticoid-resistant myeloma cell line MM.1Re. In each of the clones, specific exons of the hormone binding domain are precisely deleted. Our data implicate alternate splicing as a mechanism by which a cell generates different receptor isoforms and as a consequence evades the effects of hormone.
