Abstract
Both increased adrenal and peripheral cortisol production, the latter governed by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), contribute to the maintenance of fasting blood glucose. In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the pyridine nucleotide redox state (NADP/NADPH) is dictated by the concentration of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) and the coordinated activities of two enzymes, hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PDH) and 11β-HSD1. However, luminal G6P may similarly serve as a substrate for hepatic glucose-6-phophatase (G6Pase). A tacit belief is that the G6P pool in the ER is equally accessible to both H6PDH and G6Pase. Based on our inhibition studies and kinetic analysis in isolated rat liver microsomes, these two aforesaid luminal enzymes do share the G6P pool in the ER, but not equally. Based on the kinetic modeling of G6P flux, the ER transporter for G6P (T1) preferentially delivers this substrate to G6Pase; hence, the luminal enzymes do not share G6P equally. Moreover, cortisol, acting through 11β-HSD1, begets a more reduced pyridine redox ratio. By altering this luminal redox ratio, G6P flux through H6PDH is restrained, allowing more G6P for the competing enzyme G6Pase. And, at low G6P concentrations in the ER lumen, which occur during fasting, this acute cortisol-induced redox adjustment promotes glucose production. This reproducible cortisol-driven mechanism has been heretofore unrecognized.

Abstract
Excess glucocorticoids promote visceral obesity, hyperlipidemia, and insulin resistance. The main regulator of intracellular glucocorticoid levels is 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which converts inactive glucocorticoids into bioactive forms such as cortisol in humans and corticosterone in rodents. Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PD), which is colocalized with 11β-HSD1 in the intralumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, supplies a crucial coenzyme, NADPH, for full reductase activity of 11β-HSD1. Therefore, it is possible that inhibition of 11β-HSD1 will become a considerable medical treatment for metabolic diseases including obesity and diabetes. Genistein, a soy isoflavone, has received attention for its therapeutic potential for obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and has been proposed as a promising compound for the treatment of metabolic disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying the pleiotropic anti-obesity effects of genistein have not been fully clarified. Here, we demonstrate that genistein was able to inhibit 11β-HSD1 and H6PD activities within 10 or 20min, in dose- and time-dependent manners. Inhibition of 11β-HSD2 activity was not observed in rat kidney microsomes. The inhibition was not reversed by two estrogen receptor antagonists, tamoxifen and ICI182,780. A kinetic study revealed that genistein acted as a non-competitive inhibitor of 11β-HSD1, and its apparent Km value for 11-dehydrocorticosterone was 0.5μM. Genistein also acted as a non-competitive inhibitor of H6PD, and its apparent Km values for G6P and NADP were 0.9 and 3.3μM, respectively. These results suggest that genistein may exert its inhibitory effect by interacting with these enzymes.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2013; 1833:2039-44. [PMID: 23665046 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2013.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2013] [Revised: 04/17/2013] [Accepted: 05/01/2013] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
The role of adrenal hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in providing reducing equivalents to P450 cytochrome steroidogenic enzymes in the endoplasmic reticulum is uncertain. Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase resides in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen and co-localizes with the bidirectional enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1. Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase likely provides 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 with NADPH electrons via channeling. Intracellularly, two compartmentalized reactions generate NADPH upon oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate: cytosolic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and microsomal hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Because some endoplasmic reticulum enzymes require an electron donor (NADPH), it is conceivable that hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase serves in this capacity for these pathways. Besides 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1, we examined whether hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase generates reduced pyridine nucleotide for pivotal adrenal microsomal P450 enzymes. 21-hydroxylase activity was increased with glucose-6-phosphate and, also, glucose and glucosamine-6-phosphate. The latter two substrates are only metabolized by hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, indicating that requisite NADPH for 21-hydroxylase activity was not via glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Moreover, dihydroepiandrostenedione, a non-competitive inhibitor of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, but not hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, did not curtail activation by glucose-6-phosphate. Finally, the most compelling observation was that the microsomal glucose-6-phosphate transport inhibitor, chlorogenic acid, blunted the activation by glucose-6-phosphate of both 21-hydroxylase and 17-hydroxylase indicating that luminal hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase can supply NADPH for these enzymes. Analogous kinetic observations were found with microsomal 17-hydroxylase. These findings indicate that hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase can be a source, but not exclusively so, of NADPH for several adrenal P450 enzymes in the steroid pathway. Although the reduced pyridine nucleotides are produced intra-luminally, these compounds may also slowly transverse the endoplasmic reticulum membrane by unknown mechanisms.

Alternative mechanism for anti-obesity effect of dehydroepiandrosterone: possible contribution of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibition in rodent adipose tissue.

Abstract
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has been suggested to have an anti-obesity effect; however, the mechanism underlying this effect remains unclear. The effect of DHEA on adipocytes opposes that of glucocorticoids, which potentiate adipogenesis. The key to the intracellular activation of glucocorticoids in adipocytes is 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which catalyses the production of active glucocorticoids (cortisol in humans and corticosterone in rodents) from an inactive 11-keto form (cortisone in humans and 11-dehydrocorticosterone in rodents). In humans and rodents, intracellular glucocorticoid reactivation is exaggerated in obese adipose tissue. Using differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, we demonstrated that DHEA inhibited about 15.6% of 11β-HSD1 activity at a concentration of 1 μM within 10min. Inhibition was also observed in a cell-free system composed of microsomes prepared from rat adipose tissue and NADPH, a coenzyme of 11β-HSD1. A kinetic study revealed that DHEA acted as a non-competitive inhibitor of 11β-HSD1. Moreover, conversion from DHEA to estrogens was not observed by sensitive semi-micro HPLC equipped with electrochemical detector. These results indicate that the inhibition of 11β-HSD1 by DHEA depends on neither the transcriptional pathway nor the nonspecific manner. This is the first demonstration that the anti-obesity effect of DHEA is exerted by non-transcriptional inhibition of 11β-HSD1 in rodent adipocytes.

Abstract
Rat offspring prenatally exposed to alcohol display features of metabolic syndrome characterized by a low birth weight, catch-up growth, dyslipidemia, and insulin-resistant diabetes with increased gluconeogenesis, during adult life. Gluconeogenesis is partly regulated by cyclic AMP- and glucocorticoid-dependent mechanisms. Glucocorticoid action at the receptor level depends on its circulating concentrations and is amplified at the prereceptor level by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which regenerates active glucocorticoids from inactive forms. To determine whether 11β-HSD1 is dysregulated in this rat model, we examined the expression and enzyme activity of 11β-HSD1 and its regulator enzyme hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PD) in the liver of postnatal day 7 (neonatal) and 3-mo-old (adult) rat offspring prenatally exposed to alcohol. Measurements of 11β-HSD1 and H6PD were also performed in the omental fat of adult rat offspring. In both neonatal and adult rats, prenatal alcohol exposure resulted in increased tissue corticosterone concentrations, increased expression, and oxoreductase activity of 11β-HSD1, and a parallel increase of H6PD expression. The data suggest that due to both transcriptional and posttranscriptional dysregulations, rats exposed to alcohol early in life have increased 11β-HSD1 activity, which may explain insulin-resistant diabetes in these animals later in life.

Abstract
11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11 beta-HSD1) catalyzes the interconversion of biologically inactive 11 keto derivatives (cortisone, 11-dehydrocorticosterone) to active glucocorticoids (cortisol, corticosterone) in fat, liver, and other tissues. It is located in the intraluminal compartment of the endoplasmic reticulum. Inasmuch as an oxo-reductase requires NADPH, we reasoned that 11 beta-HSD1 would be metabolically interconnected with the cytosolic pentose pathway because this pathway is the primary producer of reduced cellular pyridine nucleotides. To test this theory, 11 beta-HSD1 activity and pentose pathway were simultaneously measured in isolated intact rodent adipocytes. Established inhibitors of NAPDH production via the pentose pathway (dehydroandrostenedione or norepinephrine) inhibited 11 beta-HSD1 oxo-reductase while decreasing cellular NADPH content. Conversely these compounds slightly augmented the reverse, or dehydrogenase, reaction of 11 beta-HSD1. Importantly, using isolated intact microsomes, the inhibitors did not directly alter the tandem microsomal 11 beta-HSD1 and hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme unit. Metabolites of 11 beta-HSD1 (corticosterone or 11-dehydrocorticosterone) inhibited or increased pentose flux, respectively, demonstrating metabolic interconnectivity. Using isolated intact liver or fat microsomes, glucose-6 phosphate stimulated 11 beta-HSD1 oxo-reductase, and this effect was blocked by selective inhibitors of glucose-6-phosphate transport. In summary, we have demonstrated a metabolic interconnection between pentose pathway and 11 beta-HSD1 oxo-reductase activities that is dependent on cytosolic NADPH production. These observations link cytosolic carbohydrate flux with paracrine glucocorticoid formation. The clinical relevance of these findings may be germane to the regulation of paracrine glucocorticoid formation in disturbed nutritional states such as obesity.

Abstract
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) exerts beneficial effects on blood glucose levels and insulin sensitivity in obese rodents and humans, resembling the effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) ligands and opposing those of glucocorticoids; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Glucocorticoids are reactivated locally by 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1), which is currently considered as a promising target for the treatment of obesity and diabetes. Using differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, we show that DHEA causes downregulation of 11beta-HSD1 and dose-dependent reduction of its oxoreductase activity. The effects of DHEA were comparable with those of the PPARgamma agonist rosiglitazone but not additive. Furthermore, DHEA reduced the expression of hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which stimulates the oxoreductase activity of 11beta-HSD1. These findings were confirmed in white adipose tissue and in liver from DHEA-treated C57BL/6J mice. Analysis of the transcription factors involved in the DHEA-dependent regulation of 11beta-HSD1 expression revealed a switch in CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) expression. C/EBPalpha, a potent activator of 11beta-HSD1 gene transcription, was downregulated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and in liver and adipose tissue of DHEA-treated mice, whereas C/EBPbeta and C/EBPdelta, attenuating the effect of C/EBPalpha, were unchanged or elevated. Our results further suggest a protective effect of DHEA on adipose tissue by upregulating PPARalpha and downregulating leptin, thereby contributing to the reduced expression of 11beta-HSD1. In summary, we provide evidence that some of the anti-diabetic effects of DHEA may be caused through inhibition of the local amplification of glucocorticoids by 11beta-HSD1 in adipose tissue.

Abstract
11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1) interconverts inactive cortisone and active cortisol. Although bidirectional, in vivo it is believed to function as a reductase generating active glucocorticoid at a prereceptor level, enhancing glucocorticoid receptor activation. In this review, we discuss both the genetic and enzymatic characterization of 11beta-HSD1, as well as describing its role in physiology and pathology in a tissue-specific manner. The molecular basis of cortisone reductase deficiency, the putative "11beta-HSD1 knockout state" in humans, has been defined and is caused by intronic mutations in HSD11B1 that decrease gene transcription together with mutations in hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, an endoluminal enzyme that provides reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate as cofactor to 11beta-HSD1 to permit reductase activity. We speculate that hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and therefore reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate supply may be crucial in determining the directionality of 11beta-HSD1 activity. Therapeutic inhibition of 11beta-HSD1 reductase activity in patients with obesity and the metabolic syndrome, as well as in glaucoma and osteoporosis, remains an exciting prospect.

Abstract
Most tree species show in the inner parts of their woody axes often a dark colored zone, the heartwood. Its formation is a genetically determined, programmed cell death which is characterized by the activation of metabolic pathways which lead to the formation of phenolic heartwood extractives. In the present paper we report on the key position of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPP) for this process. The OPP plays a crucial role in anabolic processes and is involved in the interconversion and rearrangements of sugar-phosphates with the net production of NADPH. In tissues of Robinia pseudoacacia L. which are transferred to heartwood, enhanced activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) are present. A consequence of these increased enzyme activities is a shift in the pyridine nucleotide pool towards NADP+NADPH at the expense of NAD+NADH. These alterations in the metabolism and the redox status probably provide precursors and reduction equivalents being required for the synthesis of heartwood phenolics. The non heartwood forming species Acer pseudoplatanus L. shows neither a radial gradient nor seasonal changes in the amounts of pyridine nucleotides across the trunkwood. The results are discussed in connection with programmed cell death, mitochondrial activity, and heartwood formation.

Abstract
Homogenates of human and pig brain in 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 were centrifuged at 25,400 x g for 1 h. The supernatants were electrophoresed in polyacrylamide gels were stained for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) activity. Five distinct bands were visible. Isozymes corresponding to two of those bands were purified from human and pig brain. The isozymes were electrophoretically homogeneous. The native proteins, Mr, 220,000, dissociated in sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gels into a 57,000 Mr subunit. Therefore, the native isozymes are tetramers. None of the isozymes required additional metal ions for activity. At 1 mM concentration Mg2+ and Ca2+, independently or together, activated the isozymes 1.5-fold. The isozymes were NADP(+)-specific. Kmapp values of the G6PD isozymes were similar for NADP+ (6-8 microM), but different for G6P (56-180 microM). The specific activities of the isozymes varied from 50 to 210 units per mg of protein. All isozymes were inhibited by NADPH. The inhibition was competitive with respect to NADP+ and non-competitive with respect to G6P. NADH did not affect any of the isozymes. ATP inhibited the isozymes competitively with respect to G6P and non-competitively with respect to NADP+. Palmitoyl-CoA dissociated the active tetramers into enzymatically inactive dimeric forms. This treatment also abolished the 6-phosphogluconate activity of the isozyme II from both sources. High performance liquid chromatography peptide maps of the tryptic digest and amino acid analyses of the isozymes showed extensive homologies between the corresponding isozymes from the two species. Interestingly, only the isozyme II in human and pig brain was active with 6-phosphogluconate as a substrate (Kmapp = 864 and 279 microM). The specific activities of the isozyme II with 6-phosphogluconate (14 and 48 unit per mg of protein for human and pig brain isozyme II, respectively) was four times less than those with G6P. It is therefore suggested that isozyme II is a bifunctional enzyme.

Abstract
The kinetic mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) from Dicentrarchus labrax liver was examined using initial velocity studies, NADPH and glucosamine 6-phosphate inhibition and alternate coenzyme experiments. The results are consistent with a steady-state ordered sequential mechanism in which NADP+ binds first to the enzyme and NADPH is released last. Replots of NADPH inhibition show an uncommon parabolic pattern for this enzyme that has not been previously described. A kinetic model is proposed in agreement with our kinetic results and with previously published structural studies (Bautista et al. (1988) Biochem. Soc. Trans. 16, 903-904). The kinetic mechanism presented provides a possible explanation for the regulation of the enzyme by the [NADPH]/[NADP+] ratio.
