Metabolic transformation of glucocorticoid
hormones constitutes a determinant of their cell-specific effects. The
most important reaction for this class of steroids is the reversible
C11 keto/ -hydroxyl conversion between receptor-binding 11 -OH
steroids and the nonbinding 11-oxo compounds, carried out by
11 -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (11 -HSDs). In this study, we
determined the role of glucocorticoid conversion by 11 -HSD in
pancreatic islets and its function in the regulation of insulin
release. Pancreatic islets isolated from ob/ob mice display type
1 11 -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity, i.e. in
intact cells the reductive reaction prevails, leading from
dehydrocorticosterone to corticosterone. Expression of type 1 11 -HSD
mRNA was detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain
reaction in islets isolated from ob/ob mice and also from human tissue.
Incubation of -cells in the presence of 11-dehydrocorticosterone leads to a dose-dependent inhibition of insulin release,
indicating cellular activation of 11-dehydrocorticosterone to the
receptor ligand, further confirmed by reporter gene assays. Inhibition of 11 -HSD activity by carbenoxolone reverses inhibition of insulin release. The presence of 11 -HSD in islets supports the concept that
reactivation of inert circulating hormone precursors in a cell-specific
manner plays a major role in glucocorticoid physiology in rodents and man.
