NR3C1 and lung adenocarcinoma: The lung adenocarcinoma cell line models chosen for this study included cells expressing low (H1299 cells) or moderate (A549 and H292 cells) levels of GR, or recombinant H1299 cells expressing relatively high levels of GR (H1299GR Clone 2 and H1299 GR Clone 4), as determined by western blots (Fig. 1C).
