| Abstract | Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function is essential for glucocorticoid action on various effector cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mRNA expression profiles of GR and GRß in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and examine the association between the expression levels of the GR isoforms and the serological and virological hepatitis B virus (HBV) status in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). A total of 29 CHB patients were examined in the present study, which were divided into subgroups according to serological and virological markers. The levels of GR and GRß in PBMCs, HBV viral loads, HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), HBV e antigen (HBeAg) and preS1Ag were measured. A total of 43 healthy individuals served as controls. GR was present in the PBMCs of all CHB patients and healthy controls, whereas GRßspecific products were present in only 93.1% of the CHB patients and 86.0% of the healthy controls. The GR levels were positively correlated with the expression of GRß in the CHB patients (r=0.419; P<0.05) and were significantly lower compared with those observed in the healthy controls (60.51 ± 23.73, vs. 100.00 ± 40.75; P<0.001). Compared with the healthy controls, significant differences were observed in the mRNA expression of GR in the CHB patients when stratified according to the HBeAg, preS1Ag and HBV viral load status (P<0.05), but not in the preS1Agpositive patients. These data demonstrated that the mRNA expression profile of GR differed between the CHB patients and the healthy controls. In addition, the HBV serological and virological markers were not associated with the mRNA levels of the GR isoforms in the CHB patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
