Disease relevance of Hsd11b2

 

High impact information on Hsd11b2

  • To study the role of 11 beta-HSD2 in acid-base homeostasis, 11 beta-HSD2 activity was measured in rat IMCD-enriched cell suspensions [4].
  • Expression and functional state of the corticosteroid receptors and 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 in Schwann cells [5].
  • In most nonepithelial tissues, including cardiomyocytes, 11 beta HSD2 is expressed at minimal levels; in these tissues physiologic glucocorticoids act as MR antagonists, with the basis for this tissue selectivity currently unknown [6].
  • Rat 11 beta HSD2 complementary DNA was cloned downstream of a 2.3- and 3.6-kb alpha 1(I)-collagen (Col1a1) promoter fragment to produce the expression plasmids Col2.3-HSD2 and Col3.6-HSD2, respectively, which were transiently and/or stably transfected in osteoblastic ROS 17/2.8 and MC3T3-E1 cells [7].
  • Transfection of 11 beta HSD2 led to higher rates of conversion of [(3)H]corticosterone to [(3)H]dehydrocorticosterone and reduced glucocorticoid-dependent regulation of a mouse mammary tumor virus promoter-reporter construct, cell growth, and messenger RNA markers compared with transfection of a control vector [7].
