Significance
Clinical use of corticosteroid (CS) therapy is frequent and chronic. However, current knowledge on the proteome-level effects of CS in liver and other tissues is sparse. While transcriptomic regulation following methylprednisolone (MPL) dosing has been temporally examined in rat liver, proteomic assessments are needed to better characterize the tissue-specific functional aspects of MPL actions. This study describes a functional pharmacoproteomic analysis of dynamic changes in MPL-regulated proteins in liver and provides biological insight into how steroid-induced perturbations on a molecular level may relate to both adverse and therapeutic responses presented clinically.
