The antagonism exerted by melatonin on the glucocorticoid response has been well established, being strongly dependent on the cellular context. Previously, we found that melatonin inhibits glucocorticoid receptor (GR) dissociation from the chaperone hetero-complex and nuclear translocation on mouse thymocytes. Here, by performing confocal fluorescence microscopy and the Number and Brightness assay we show that in newborn hamster kidney cells (BHK21) melatonin neither affects GR nuclear translocation nor GR homodimerization. Instead, co-immunoprecipitation studies suggest that physiological concentrations of melatonin impair GR interaction with the transcriptional intermediary factor 2 (TIF2). This melatonin effect was not blocked by the MT ...
