Dexamethasone regulation of the rat 3alpha-hydroxysteroid/dihydrodiol dehydrogenase gene.
Rat liver 3alpha-hydroxysteroid/dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (3alpha-HSD/DD), a member of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily, inactivates circulating steroid hormones and may contribute to the carcinogenicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by oxidizing trans-dihydrodiols to reactive o-quinones with the concomitant generation of reactive oxygen species. The 3alpha-HSD/DD gene has been ...
متن کاملActivation of human liver 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase by clofibrate derivatives.
The NADP+-dependent dehydrogenase activity of a predominant isoenzyme of human liver 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was activated by antihyperlipidemic drugs, such as bezafibrate and clinofibrate, and by clofibric acid and fenofibric acid (active metabolites of clofibrate and fenofibrate, respectively). The optimal pH of the activation by the drugs was about 7.5, and the concentrations giv...
متن کاملConversion of mammalian 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase to 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase using loop chimeras: changing specificity from androgens to progestins.
Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSDs) regulate the occupancy and activation of steroid hormone receptors by converting potent steroid hormones into their cognate inactive metabolites. 3alpha-HSD catalyzes the inactivation of androgens in the prostate by converting 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone to 3alpha-androstanediol, where excess 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone is implicated in prostate disease. By co...
متن کاملVARIATIONS BY EPINEPHRINE OF HEPATIC AND SERUM AMINOTRANSFERASES AND LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE IN THE RAT
Incubation of rat hepatocytes with epinephrine inhibited alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (80%) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (53%) activities with no effect on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. Injection of epinephrine caused a progressive increase with time in hepatic LDH activity, being 52% at 24 h. Preinjection with propranolol eliminated the hormone effect and caused further ...
متن کاملApo- and holo-structures of 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas sp. B-0831. Loop-helix transition induced by coenzyme binding.
Bacterial 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which belongs to a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family and forms a dimer composed of two 26-kDa subunits, catalyzes the oxidoreduction of hydroxysteroids in a coenzyme-dependent manner. This enzyme also catalyzes the oxidoreduction of nonsteroid compounds that play an important role in xenobiotic metabolism of bacteria. We performed an x-ray...
