The level of the GR is one of the main determinants of
glucocorticoid responsiveness [35]. Glucocorticoids limit their
signaling autologously by downregulating the level of GR [36].
However, in some lymphoma cell lines, glucocorticoids increase GR
expression [37]. Glucocorticoid downregulation of GR occurs
mainly at the transcriptional level but post-translational mechanisms also play a role
