Dexamethasone prevents granulocyte-macrophage colonystimulating factor-induced nuclear factor-kB activation, inducible nitric oxide synthase expression and nitric oxide production in a skin dendritic cell line

AIMS: Nitric oxide (NO) has been increasingly implicated in inflammatory skin diseases, namely in allergic contact dermatitis. In this work, we investigated the effect of dexamethasone on NO production induced by the epidermal cytokine granulocyte / macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in a...
