Glucocorticoid receptor wields chromatin interactions to tune transcription for cytoskeleton stabilization in podocytes

Abstract

Wang et al. use several genome-wide approaches to investigate glucocorticoid receptor (GR) action in a podocyte cell line model. They conclude that direct GR bindings are enriched at super enhancers, highlighting a strategy potentially used by GR to regulate transcription through super-enhancers and long-range interactions.
