Disease relevance of HSD17B2

  • In a multivariate model, HSD17 vlV A->C was also significantly associated with endometriosis (P = .002) [1].
  • Intratumoral activity of the progesterone-dependent enzyme 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (E2DH) was measured in 114 patients with breast cancer (33 pre- and 81 postmenopausal) before and/or after 8 days of a progestin treatment (lynestrenol, 10 mg/day) [2].
  • 17 beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (E2-DH) activity was characterized on a semipurified microsomal preparation of human meningioma tissue (mean Km of 2 microM and Vmax of 500 pmol/mg protein/10 min) and then assayed in 49 meningioma specimens with high progesterone receptor and low estrogen receptor levels [3].
  • The fusion protein of pHSD12-07 produced by Escherichia coli reacted with a specific polyclonal antibody generated against rat ovarian 20 alpha-HSD [4].
  • While administration of progestins to some patients with endometrial carcinoma resulted in increased endometrial E2DH activity, efforts to induce this enzyme, in vitro, in these tumors have been unsuccessful [5].
 

High impact information on HSD17B2

  • The gene for hereditary breast-ovarian cancer, BRCA1, maps distal to EDH17B2 in chromosome region 17q12-q21 [6].
  • The highest percentage of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 16q was also found within this area at loci HSD17B2 and D16S422 located at 16q24.1-q24 [7].
  • Intratumoral measurement of the progesterone-dependent enzyme E2DH in breast cancer after progestin treatment could therefore provide a fine and reliable index of the presence and functional character of PR and hormone dependency of the tumor [2].
  • In postmenopausal patients, E2DH was higher after progestin treatment [2].
  • However, E2DH stimulation by lynestrenol depended on receptor levels [2].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of HSD17B2

 

Biological context of HSD17B2

 

Anatomical context of HSD17B2

  • Utilizing RT-PCR, transcripts for 17 beta HSD2 were not detectable in cortex, stroma, (pre-or postmenopausal), hilum, or follicles, but were present in RNA derived from the corpora lutea and fetal ovary [13].
  • All three cell lines exhibited marked amounts of 17 beta HSD4 mRNA species, whilst even greater amounts of 17 beta HSD2 transcript were found in PC3 cells only [14].
  • Because lung fibroblasts of subjects with low 17 beta-HSD type 2 expression levels are likely to be exposed to higher levels of androgens, an allelic variation of the 17 beta-HSD-2 gene is suspected, which would result in familial incidence of respiratory distress [15].
  • 17 beta HSD2 immunoreactivity was localized almost exclusively to the absorptive epithelium, which may be involved in the inactivation of excessive endogenous and exogenous active sex steroids [16].
  • 17 beta HSD2 mRNA was most abundant in the small intestine [16].

Other interactions of HSD17B2

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of HSD17B2

  • To locate the HSD17B2 gene, the novel dinucleotide CA repeat sequence found 571 bp downstream from the end of exon 1 was genotyped into eight CEPH reference families by PCR [10].
  • The enzyme, which had been partially purified by affinity chromatography, fractionated on a preparative electrophoresis gel to a homogeneous preparation containing both estradiol-17 beta dehydrogenase and 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activities in a ratio of approximately 100:1 [21].
  • Using hp E2DH-36 cDNA as a probe for in situ hybridization of translocated chromosomes, the human E2DH gene was localized to the q11-q12 region of chromosome 17 [12].
  • To search for a unique 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, human placental villous tissue, homogenized in three different buffer systems, was fractionated by differential centrifugation, and the 17 beta- and 20 alpha-activities were measured by radioisotope conversion assay [22].
  • Molecular cloning and expression of an abundant rabbit ovarian protein with 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity [23].
