PA indicates patients analyzed; Opp, number of patients showing regulation in the opposite direction; HD, healthy donor; Sens, GC-sensitive systems; Res, GC-resistant systems; Conv, converted systems; and NA, not applicable.

*

Mean ± SD of M values from regulated samples after 6 to 8 hours of GC exposure in vivo

Number of patients with M values of 1.0 or higher after 6 hours, 24 hours, and 6 or 24 hours in vivo exposure to GCs (for treatment details see Supplement)

Regulation (Y), or lack thereof (N), in lymphoblasts from an adult patient with ALL treated with GCs in vivo

§

2, 1, or 0 indicates whether the peripheral blood lymphocytes of both (2), either 1 (1), or none (0) of the 2 healthy volunteers responded with M values of 1.0 or higher after 6-hour and/or 24-hour in vivo exposure to GCs (for treatment details see Supplement)

||

For each gene, the number of in vitro systems showing M values of 1.0 or higher after 6-hour and/or 24-hour exposure to 10-7 M dexamethasone is indicated. GC-sensitive systems: BCP-ALL-40 (treated ex vivo), CEM-C7H2, PreB-697; GC-resistant systems: CEM-C1, CEM-C7R1, CEM-C7R1dim-low, PreB-697-R4G4; converted systems: CEM-C1ratGR, CEM-C7R1dim-high. If NA, the gene was not regulated in CEM-C7H2 (and hence cannot be “converted”); Y/N indicates regulated in C1ratGR but not in CEM-C7R1dim-high

Y and N indicate whether (Y) or not (N) the respective gene was regulated in CD1 mouse thymocytes after 4-hour exposure to dexamethasone in vivo and/or in vitro, as indicated

#

Genes regulated (M ≥ 1.0) in CEM-C7H2 cells after 6-hour exposure to 10-7 M dexamethasone in the presence of 10 μg/mL cycloheximide (CHX) are indicated with Y; those no longer regulated in the presence of CHX with N. NA denotes genes that were not regulated by GC in CEM-C7H2 cells in the absence of CHX
