The GC-GR complex then migrates to the nucleus, binds to the glucocorticoid response element, and activates the transcription of target genes,[28] including MKP-1 ,[29] GILZ ,[30] and SGK1 .[31] Via binding to the receptor, GCs are able to inhibit p38 MAPK by inducing MKP-1, which in turn results in de-phosphorylation of p38.[32] MKP-1 is a phosphatase that dephosphorylates and inactivates MAPKs, including p38 MAPK,[33] and inhibits production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which is critical for the anti-inflammatory functions of GCs.[29] Clark et al .[29] proposed that MKP-1 played a role in the inhibition of p38 MAPK and the consequent destabilization of pro-inflammatory mRNAs by GCs.

GSTD-induced HO-1 and Nrf2 protein expression was involved in protecting [H.sub.2][O.sub.2]-induced oxidative injury in LSECs, which might be a common protective mechanism for liver oxidative detoxification regulated by p p38 MAPK. GSTD may be a protective agent against hepatic diseases associated with oxidative stress.
