Abstract (original English)
Patients with glucocorticoid excess develop central obesity, yet in simple obesity, circulating glucocorticoid levels are normal. We have suggested that the increased activity and expression of the enzyme 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11betaHSD1) generating active cortisol from cortisone within adipose tissue may be crucial in the pathogenesis of obesity. In this study primary cultures of human hepatocytes and adipose stromal cells (ASC) were used as in vitro models to investigate the tissue-specific regulation of 11betaHSD1 expression and activity. Treatment with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) caused a dose-dependent increase in 11betaHSD1 activity in primary cultures of both sc [1743.1 +/- 1015.4% (TNFalpha, 10 ng/ml); P < 0.05 vs. control (100%)] and omental [375.8 +/- 57.0% (TNFalpha, 10 ng/ml); P < 0.01 vs. control (100%)] ASC, but had no effect on activity in human hepatocytes [90.2 +/- 2.8% (TNFalpha, 10 ng/ml); P = NS vs. control (100%)]. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) caused a dose-dependent inhibition of 11betaHSD1 activity in sc [49.7 +/- 15.0% (IGF-I, 100 ng/ml]; P < 0.05 vs. control (100%)] and omental [71.6 +/- 7.5 (IGF-I, 100 ng/ml); P < 0.01 vs. control (100%)] stromal cells, but not in human hepatocytes [101.8 +/- 15.7% (IGF-I, 100 ng/ml); P = NS vs. control (100%)]. Leptin treatment did not alter 11betaHSD1 activity in human hepatoc
