摘要
For three-quarters of a century, glucocorticoids (GCs) have been used to treat rheumatic and autoimmune diseases. Over these 75 years, our understanding of GCs binding to nuclear receptors, mainly the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and their molecular mechanisms has changed dramatically. Initially, in the late 1950s, GCs were considered important regulators of energy metabolism. By the 1970s/1980s, they were characterised as ligands for hormone-inducible transcription factors that regulate many aspects of cell biology and physiology. More recently, their impact on cellular metabolism has been rediscovered. Our understanding of cell-type-specific GC actions and the crosstalk between various immune and stromal cells in arthritis models has evolved by investigating conditional GR mutant mice using the Cre/LoxP system. A major achievement in studying the complex, cell-type-specific interplay is the recent advent of omics technologies at single-cell resolution, which will provide further unprecedented insights into the cell types and factors mediating GC responses. Alongside gene-encoded factors, anti-inflammatory metabolites that participate in resolving inflammation by GCs during arthritis are just being uncovered. The translation of this knowledge into therapeutic concepts will help tackle inflammatory diseases and reduce side effects. In this review, we describe major milestones in preclinical research that led to our current understanding of GC and GR action 75 years after the first use of GCs in arthritis.
