Transcriptional profile of mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells upon treatment with dexamethasone or the glucocorticoid receptor modulator AZD9567 in the presence or absence of inflammatory response.

The aim of the experiment was to gain insight into the selective anti-inflammatory action of the glucocorticoid receptor modulator AZD9567 in comparison with the classical synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone. To this end, the transcriptional profile of macrophage RAW 264.7 cells treated with dexamethasone or AZD9567 in the presence or absence of inflammatory response (elicited by lipopolysaccharide treatment) was identified.
