Disease relevance of Cyp17a1

  • This results from higher levels of steroidogenic activity per fetal Leydig cell, as indicated by the hypertrophy of these cells and the higher levels of mRNA for StAR, P450c17 and P450scc in the testis, for a similar number of Leydig cells [1].
  • Steroidogenic enzymes P450scc, P450c17 and P450c21 have recently been shown to be the main autoantigens recognized by sera from patients with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS type I) with or without Addison's disease [2].
 

High impact information on Cyp17a1

  • There was also a slight decrease in 17-OH-progesterone compared to the more significant decrease in testosterone, suggesting that MIS might be regulating the lyase activity of cytochrome P450c17 hydroxylase/lyase (Cyp17), but not its hydroxylase activity [3].
  • These data suggest that steroid products of P450c17 have heretofore-unknown essential functions in early embryonic mouse development [4].
  • The synthesis of DHEA and sex steroids, but not mouse glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, requires P450c17, which catalyzes both 17 alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities [4].
  • Immunocytochemistry identified P450c17 in embryonic endoderm in E7 wild-type and heterozygous embryos, but its function in these cells is unknown [4].
  • Heterozygotes were phenotypically and reproductively normal, but in all mouse lines, P450c17(-/-) zygotes died by embryonic day 7, prior to gastrulation [4].

Associations of Cyp17a1 with chemical compounds

  • The inhibition of testosterone production is parallel to the inhibition of P450c17 messenger RNA and protein levels [11].
  • These data suggest that the absence of fetal ovarian steroid hormone production is the result of lack of expression of at least three of the steroidogenic enzymes, P450scc, P450c17, and P450arom [12].
  • On the other hand, both proopiomelanocortin-derived peptide beta-endorphin and corticosterone concentration levels are elevated in Wnt-deficient mice, and the expression of Cyp17 is altered in Wnt-4 mutant females, so that it mimics the pattern specific for males [13].
  • The methodology was verified by confirming the presence of previously characterized TP-regulated genes, including Pem in Sertoli cells and Cyp17a1 in Leydig cells [14].
  • Northern analysis showed that, in both MIS-treated rats and mice, the mRNA for Cyp17, which catalyzes the committed step in androgen synthesis, was down-regulated [3].
