11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 in hypertension: comparison of phenotype and genotype analysis

Abstract: 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2) catalyzes the inactivation of cortisol (F) to cortisone (E) in aldosterone target tissues, thereby protects mineralocorticoid receptor from F. Failure of 11β-HSD2 function is the basis of apparent mineralocorticoid excess, and its mild disturbances are suggested to lead to hypertension. The aim of the study was to analyze the 11β-HSD2 activity in hypertensives and healthy volunteers. Glucocorticoids (GCs) profile was estimated to verify whether the disorders o… Show more

“…3f), inhibiting binding to MR. Under conditions of impaired 11β-HSD2 function, cortisol which is present in 1000–2000 times higher concentrations compared to aldosterone, binds to MR, causing enhanced Na + − reabsorption which in turn leads to the expansion of intravascular fluid, causing hypertension [42]. Diagnosis of BS in the 6 month old patient described here was made based on hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with low birth weight, failure to thrive and poor growth.…”

“…Severe hypertension and hypokalemic alkalosis are associated with endorgan damage in AME, especially affecting cardiovascular and nervous systems, kidneys, and retina [3]. Variability in biochemical parameters (the ratio of cortisol to cortisone) is related to the underlying genetic defect [31], so genetic testing is a precise and effective tool to detect HSD11B2 mutations [6,32]. Hence, our study also highlights the utility of next-generation sequencing for diagnosing AME even where enzymatic characterization is unavailable.…”

“…Kosicka et al found no significant differences in UFF/UFE between hypertensives and controls. 39 However, the median of UFF/ UFE was higher in hypertensives (n = 79) than the controls (n = 70), but not significant. UFF/UFE exceeded the reference range, ≤0.6 in 15.9% of hypertensive subjects and 7.1% of normotensives.…”
