Fluid Shear Stress Reduces 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 2

Abstract: Abstract-In pregnancy, invading trophoblasts represent the inner vascular border of maternal spiral arteries and are exposed to elevated shear stress (ss) in hypertensive disorders. Intracellular cortisol availability is regulated by 11␤-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (11␤-HSDs), thus determining body fluid volume and vascular responses. The impact of ss on 11␤-HSD2 activity was studied in the human JEG-3 cell line, a model for trophoblasts. JEG-3 cells do not express 11␤-HSD1; however, 11␤-HSD2 message and act… Show more

“…In JEG-3 cell homogenates, 11␤-HSD2 enzyme activity, assessed by the conversion of 3 H-cortisol to 3 H-cortisone, was present (1.46 Ϯ 0.15 pmol/mg protein per h) as has been shown previously (9,10,31). This conversion was almost completely inhibited when glycyrrhetinic acid (10 Ϫ6 mol/L) was added to the cell culture medium.…”

“…Similarly, the downregulation of 11␤-HSD2 by shear stress, a characteristic of extreme renal vasoconstriction which requires focal adhesion-cytoskeleton interactions, was established in vitro in human cells exhibiting endothelial features. 48 On the other hand, the downregulation of 11␤-HSD2 by hypoxia has been observed in cell culture experiments, ischemic rat kidneys, and humans exposed to hypoxemia at high altitude and is mediated by a MAPK-dependent induction of Egr-1. 25,49,50 A peculiar feature of cirrhosis, with and without spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, is an inflammatory state that accounts at least in part for systemic hemodynamic derangements, including renal failure.…”

“…32 Pharmacological interventions with beta-blocking agents reduce release of renin, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or ATII receptor blocking drugs alleviate ATII-mediated and possibly shear stress-mediated downregulation of 11␤-HSD2. 24,48,66 Whether converting enzyme inhibitors and ATII receptor blockers are useful xenobiotics in some patients with cirrhosis is an unresolved issue. Prevention or aggressive treatment of infection complications, a major cause of the development of hepatorenal syndrome, allows reduction of the release of TNF-␣ or nitric oxide and possibly hypoxemia, 3 mechanisms known to impair 11␤-HSD2 activity.…”
