The cell lines all contained normal glucocorticoid receptors but differed widely in sensitivity to dexamethasone, ranging from very sensitive S49 lymphoma to completely resistant HL-60 acute leukemia cells.
In resistant cell lines, sensitivity to dexamethasone was restored by the mitochondrial inhibitors rotenone and meta-iodobenzylguanidine.

Pretreatment of cultured rat hepatocytes with 1 microM dexamethasone protected against cell killing by 5 microM rotenone and 1 mM cyanide.
Protection by dexamethasone was blocked by 10 microM of glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, RU486, and by 1 microM of the inhibitor of protein synthesis, cycloheximide.

The protective effects of Rg1 was blocked by glucocorticoid receptor antagonist RU486, indicating that the action of Rg1 is mediated through glucocorticoid receptor (GR).
