Glucocorticoid receptor variants: clinical implicationsR H DeRijk
Department of Psychiatry, Rijngeestgroep LUMC, Psychiatric Hospital, Endegeesterstraatweg 5, 2342 AJ, Oesgstsgeest, The Netherlands
J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 81:103-22. 2002..The clinical implication is that the regulation of the HPA-axis should be envisioned as a primary target of new drugs for the treatment of stress-related disorders...
Very low levels of the glucocorticoid receptor beta isoform in the human hippocampus as shown by Taqman RT-PCR and immunocytochemistryRoel H DeRijk
Division of Medical Pharmacology, Leiden University, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands
Brain Res Mol Brain Res 116:17-26. 2003..A functionally relevant role for the GRbeta in control of the human hippocampus is therefore not very likely. Whether this is altered in disease conditions awaits further research...
Corticosteroid resistance in a subpopulation of multiple sclerosis patients as measured by ex vivo dexamethasone inhibition of LPS induced IL-6 productionRoel H DeRijk

J Neuroimmunol 151:180-8. 2004..We also found a trend towards worsening of clinical status over time with increasing corticosteroid resistance. These data suggest that corticosteroid sensitivity may be a factor in the pathogenesis and could be used for prognosis of MS...

Poor replication of candidate genes for major depressive disorder using genome-wide association dataF J Bosker
Department of Psychiatry, University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
Mol Psychiatry 16:516-32. 2011..The poor replication may point to publication bias and false-positive findings in previous candidate gene studies, and may also be related to heterogeneity of the MDD phenotype as well as contextual genetic or environmental factors...

GGZ Buitenamstel, Department of Psychiatry, Free University Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Biol Psychiatry 52:1102-12. 2002..Sustained childhood abuse rather than BPD, MDD, or PTSD pathology accounts for this effect. Possibly due to an enhanced efficacy of HPA suppression by dexamethasone, PTSD attenuates the ACTH response to DEX/CRH...
