Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes are abundantly expressed in the human liver where they hydroxylate organic substrates. In a microarray screen performed in human liver cells, we found a group of eleven P450 genes whose expression was induced by p53 (CYP3A4, CYP3A43, CYP3A5, CYP3A7, CYP4F2, CYP4F3, CYP4F11, CYP4F12, CYP19A1, CYP21A2 and CYP24A1). The mode of regulation of four representative genes...
Membrane-associated progesterone receptors (MAPR) are a group of four rather small, partially homologous proteins, which share a similar non-covalent heme-binding domain that is related to cytochrome b5, a well-known functional interaction partner of microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenase systems. Apart from their structural similarities the four proteins progesterone membrane component...
Objective. The most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) deficiency due to mutation of the CYP21A2 gene. Patients with nonclassical CAH (NC-CAH) are usually asymptomatic at birth and typically present in late childhood, adolescence, or adulthood with symptoms of excessive androgen secretion. Subfertility is relative in NC-CAH, but the incidence of sponta...
During pregnancy, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in maternal blood encompasses a small percentage of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA), an easily accessible source for determination of fetal disease status in risk families through non-invasive procedures. In case of monogenic heritable disease, background maternal cfDNA prohibits direct observation of the maternally inherited allele. Non-invasive prenatal di...
Adrenal toxicity is one of the major concerns in drug development. To quantitatively understand the effect of endocrine-active compounds on adrenal steroidogenesis and to assess the human adrenal toxicity of novel pharmaceutical drugs, we developed a mathematical model of steroidogenesis in human adrenocortical carcinoma NCI-H295R cells. The model includes cellular proliferation, intracellular ...
Disorders of sex development (DSD), formerly termed "intersex" conditions, arise from numerous causes. CAH secondary to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most common cause of DSD. Sex chromosome disorders, including sex chromosome mosaicism, are the second most common cause of DSD. We discuss a medically complex neonate with DSD presenting with ambiguous genitalia. Hormone levels suggested 21-hy...
DNA was analysed from 33 patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency. In each case Southern blots were prepared from a number of restriction enzyme digests and hybridised with probes for both the 21-hydroxylase and the adjacent fourth component of complement (C4). Evidence for deletion of the active 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21B) was found in 13 cases and...
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) comprises a group of rare autosomal recessively inherited disorders of cortisol biosynthesis in the adrenal cortex. More than 95% are based on a defect in the CYP21A2 gene causing 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Newborn screening (NBS) for CAH by means of 17-hydroxy-progesterone (17-OHP) determination in dried whole blood on filter paper has been introduced as pa...
A previously healthy, 7-mo-old male infant presented with a 3-mo history of pubic hair. He was a healthy, term newborn who was born to nonconsanguineous parents, and had appropriate weight and length. Physical examination revealed thick and long pubic hair on the scrotum, without hyperpigmentation or enlargement of the penis (Fig. 1a). No other signs of virilization or secondary sexual developm...
