Regulation of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 by microRNA.
The enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2) is selectively expressed in aldosterone target tissues, conferring aldosterone selectivity for the mineralocorticoid receptor. A diminished activity causes salt-sensitive hypertension. The mechanism of the variable and distinct 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 gene (HSD11B2) expression in the cortical collecting duct is poorly...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 expression
The enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11βHSD2) is selectively expressed in aldosterone target tissues, where it confers aldosterone selectivity for the mineralocorticoid receptor by inactivating 11β-hydroxyglucocorticoids. Variable activity of 11βHSD2 is relevant for blood pressure control and hypertension. The present investigation aimed to elucidate whether an epigenetic mechani...
متن کامل11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase-2 and Salt-Sensitive Hypertension.
1335 Glucocorticoid intracellular metabolism, catalyzed by the 2 isozymes of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11βHSD), determines the corticosteroid action on target tissues. 11β-HSD1 functions as a reductase in most cells and catalyzes the regeneration of active glucocorticoids, thereby amplifying their action. This isozyme is widely expressed in liver, adipose tissue, muscle, pancreatic isle...
متن کاملZearalenone Inhibits Rat and Human 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 2
Zearalenone is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp. 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases, isoforms 1 (HSD11B1) and 2 (HSD11B2), have been demonstrated to be the regulators of the local level of active glucocorticoid, which has a broad range of physiological actions. In the present study, the potency of zearalenone was tested for the inhibition of HSD11B1 and HSD11B2 in rat and human tissues. Zear...
متن کاملA urine-concentrating defect in 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 null mice.
In aldosterone target tissues, 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11βHSD2) is coexpressed with mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) and protects the receptor from activation by glucocorticoids. Null mutations in the encoding gene, HSD11B2, cause apparent mineralocorticoid excess, in which hypertension is thought to reflect volume expansion secondary to sodium retention. Hsd11b2(-/-) mice are ...
