The effect of GCs against TNF-mediated cytotoxicity involves increased mRNA expression and sustained protein levels of c-IAP1 and XIAP. The antagonist effects of RU486 and the qRT-PCR results also suggest the role of the GR in this process. This finding may have clinical implications because the GR and IAPs are expressed in breast tumor samples.
