1 9589699 The 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II enzyme (11 beta HSD2) inactivates glucocorticoids in the kidney and thus prevents glucocorticoids from occupying the non-selective mineralocorticoid receptor in epithelial tissues.
2 15241735 HSD activity was examined in human liver (HSD1) and kidney microsomes (HSD2) and in CHO cells stably transfected with both enzymes.
3 15241735 As 9alpha-fluorination (such as in 9alpha-fluorocortisol) decreases oxidation by HSD2 and increases both GC and MC receptor transactivation, this modification leads to optimal, but non-selective transactivation of both receptors.
4 15241735 Increased GC receptor and decreased MC receptor transactivation leading to more selective GC activity is reached using the following substituents: 16beta-methyl (in betamethasone), 16alpha-methyl (in dexamethasone) and triangle up 1-dehydro-configuration (in prednisolone).
5 15241735 HSD activity was examined in human liver (HSD1) and kidney microsomes (HSD2) and in CHO cells stably transfected with both enzymes.
6 15241735 As 9alpha-fluorination (such as in 9alpha-fluorocortisol) decreases oxidation by HSD2 and increases both GC and MC receptor transactivation, this modification leads to optimal, but non-selective transactivation of both receptors.
7 15241735 Increased GC receptor and decreased MC receptor transactivation leading to more selective GC activity is reached using the following substituents: 16beta-methyl (in betamethasone), 16alpha-methyl (in dexamethasone) and triangle up 1-dehydro-configuration (in prednisolone).
8 18032797 It was found that CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-alpha (C/EBP-alpha) and C/EBP-beta regulated HSD11B2 transcription and that DHEA likely modulated the transcription of 11beta-HSD2 in a phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/Akt-dependent manner by increasing C/EBP-beta mRNA and protein expression.
9 18032797 Moreover, it is shown that C/EBP-alpha and C/EBP-beta differentially regulate the expression of 11beta-HSD1 and 11beta-HSD2.
10 23446772 Type 2 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase encoded by the HSD11B2 gene converts cortisol to inactive cortisone and thus protects the mineralocorticoid receptor from cortisol exposure.
11 23446772 Impaired activity of this enzyme leads to mineralocorticoid excess, suggesting HSD11B2 as a candidate locus for patients at risk of developing low renin or salt-sensitive essential hypertension.
12 23446772 Type 2 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase encoded by the HSD11B2 gene converts cortisol to inactive cortisone and thus protects the mineralocorticoid receptor from cortisol exposure.
13 23446772 Impaired activity of this enzyme leads to mineralocorticoid excess, suggesting HSD11B2 as a candidate locus for patients at risk of developing low renin or salt-sensitive essential hypertension.
