Compound A (CpdA), a dissociated glucocorticoid receptor modulator, decreases
corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and
luteneinizing hormone levels in rats. Whether this is due to transcriptional regulation by
CpdA is not known. Using promoter reporter assays we show that CpdA, like
dexamethasone (Dex), directly transrepresses these genes. Results using a rat Cbg
proximal-promoter reporter construct in BWTG3 and HepG2 cell lines support a …
