Glucocorticoid enhancement of gene expression.

摘要

The present invention provides a method of increasing the cellular expression of a gene in a biological tissue after delivery of said gene to an animal, comprising the step of: administering to said animal a pharmacologically effective dose of a glucocorticoid in an amount sufficient to increase the cellular expression of said gene. Also provided is a various method of treating a pathophysiological state in a human by increasing cellular expression of a gene after delivery of said gene into a biological tissue of an animal in need of such treatment, comprising the step of: administering to said animal a pharmacologically effective dose of a glucocorticoid in an amount sufficient to increase the cellular expression of said gene.
