Abstract
Glucocorticoids have numerous applications in short and/or long-term therapy both in pediatric and young adults, based on their significant anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Different routes of administration can be provided including topical, inhalatory and oral. Topical treatments are the first choice for many dermatologic conditions. The inhalatory form is widely used in asthma management while systemic pathologies often require oral administration. The risks for adverse effects are related to the dose and duration of therapy as well as the specific agent used. Therefore, long-term treatment has a negative impact on different metabolic systems and can lead to hypertension, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. In particular, many studies emphasize the direct and indirect effects of glucocorticoids on bone health. Glucocorticoids are the most common iatrogenic cause of osteoporosis and can alter bone development in young adults. These side effects are due to an early and transient increase in bone resorption and a decrease in bone formation. Glucocorticoid-induced changes can act on the bone multicellular unit, bone cells and intracellular signaling pathways. Chronic use can also modify bone mass though indirect endocrine and non-endocrine effects by reducing the anabolic function of sex steroids and GH/IGF-1 axis, interfere with calcium metabolism, as well as muscle atrophy and central fat accumulation. The aim of our review was to revise the available evidence on the impact of glucocorticoid treatment on bone health related to endocrine and non-endocrine effects in Young patients.

PLoS One 2023; 18:e0255709.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids inhibit angiogenesis by activating the glucocorticoid receptor. Inhibition of the glucocorticoid-activating enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) reduces tissue-specific glucocorticoid action and promotes angiogenesis in murine models of myocardial infarction. Angiogenesis is important in the growth of some solid tumours. This study used murine models of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) to test the hypothesis that 11β-HSD1 inhibition promotes angiogenesis and subsequent tumour growth. SCC or PDAC cells were injected into female FVB/N or C57BL6/J mice fed either standard diet, or diet containing the 11β-HSD1 inhibitor UE2316. SCC tumours grew more rapidly in UE2316-treated mice, reaching a larger (P<0.01) final volume (0.158 ± 0.037 cm3) than in control mice (0.051 ± 0.007 cm3). However, PDAC tumour growth was unaffected. Immunofluorescent analysis of SCC tumours did not show differences in vessel density (CD31/alpha-smooth muscle actin) or cell proliferation (Ki67) after 11β-HSD1 inhibition, and immunohistochemistry of SCC tumours did not show changes in inflammatory cell (CD3- or F4/80-positive) infiltration. In culture, the growth/viability (assessed by live cell imaging) of SCC cells was not affected by UE2316 or corticosterone. Second Harmonic Generation microscopy showed that UE2316 reduced Type I collagen (P<0.001), whilst RNA-sequencing revealed that multiple factors involved in the innate immune/inflammatory response were reduced in UE2316-treated SCC tumours. 11β-HSD1 inhibition increases SCC tumour growth, likely via suppression of inflammatory/immune cell signalling and extracellular matrix deposition, but does not promote tumour angiogenesis or growth of all solid tumours.

Abstract
This review briefly addresses the history of the discovery and elucidation of the three cloned 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11βHSD) enzymes in the human, 11βHSD1, 11βHSD2 and 11βHSD3, an NADP+-dependent dehydrogenase also called the 11βHSD1-like dehydrogenase (11βHSD1L), as well as evidence for yet identified 11βHSDs. Attention is devoted to more recently described aspects of this multi-functional family. The importance of 11βHSD substrates other than glucocorticoids including bile acids, 7-keto sterols, neurosteroids, and xenobiotics is discussed, along with examples of pathology when functions of these multi-tasking enzymes are disrupted. 11βHSDs modulate the intracellular concentration of glucocorticoids, thereby regulating the activation of the glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors, and 7β-27-hydroxycholesterol, an agonist of the retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma (RORγ). Key functions of this nuclear transcription factor include regulation of immune cell differentiation, cytokine production and inflammation at the cell level. 11βHSD1 expression and/or glucocorticoid reductase activity are inappropriately increased with age and in obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Potential causes for disappointing results of the clinical trials of selective inhibitors of 11βHSD1 in the treatment of these disorders are discussed, as well as the potential for more targeted use of inhibitors of 11βHSD1 and 11βHSD2.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids are widely used to suppress inflammation or the immune system. High doses and long-term use of glucocorticoids lead to an important and common iatrogenic complication, glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, in a substantial proportion of patients. Glucocorticoids mainly increase bone resorption during the initial phase (the first year of treatment) by enhancing the differentiation and maturation of osteoclasts. Glucocorticoids also inhibit osteoblastogenesis and promote apoptosis of osteoblasts and osteocytes, resulting in decreased bone formation during long-term use. Several indirect effects of glucocorticoids on bone metabolism, such as suppression of production of insulin-like growth factor 1 or growth hormone, are involved in the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Fracture risk assessment for all patients with long-term use of oral glucocorticoids is required. Non-pharmacological interventions to manage the risk of fracture should be prescribed to all patients, while pharmacological management is reserved for patients who have increased fracture risk. Various treatment options can be used, ranging from bisphosphonates to denosumab, as well as teriparatide. Finally, appropriate monitoring during treatment is also important.

Abstract
Administration of glucocorticoids is an effective strategy for treating many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. However, glucocorticoid treatment can have adverse effects on bone, leading to glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO), the most common form of secondary osteoporosis. Although the pathogenesis of GIO has been studied for decades, over the past ten years the autophagy machinery has been implicated as a novel mechanism. Autophagy in osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts plays a critical role in the maintenance of bone homeostasis. Herein, we specifically discuss how osteoblast autophagy responds to glucocorticoids and its role in the development of GIO.

Abstract
Osteoporosis associated with long-term glucocorticoid therapy remains a common and serious bone disease. Additionally, in recent years it has become clear that more subtle states of endogenous glucocorticoid excess may have a major impact on bone health. Adverse effects can be seen with mild systemic glucocorticoid excess, but there is also evidence of tissue-specific regulation of glucocorticoid action within bone as a mechanism of disease. This review article examines (1) the role of endogenous glucocorticoids in normal bone physiology, (2) the skeletal effects of endogenous glucocorticoid excess in the context of endocrine conditions such as Cushing disease/syndrome and autonomous cortisol secretion (subclinical Cushing syndrome), and (3) the actions of therapeutic (exogenous) glucocorticoids on bone. We review the extent to which the effect of glucocorticoids on bone is influenced by variations in tissue metabolizing enzymes and glucocorticoid receptor expression and sensitivity. We consider how the effects of therapeutic glucocorticoids on bone are complicated by the effects of the underlying inflammatory disease being treated. We also examine the impact that glucocorticoid replacement regimens have on bone in the context of primary and secondary adrenal insufficiency. We conclude that even subtle excess of endogenous or moderate doses of therapeutic glucocorticoids are detrimental to bone. However, in patients with inflammatory disorders there is a complex interplay between glucocorticoid treatment and underlying inflammation, with the underlying condition frequently representing the major component underpinning bone damage.

Abstract
We recently found that a cyclohexanecarboxamide derived from 4-azatetracyclo[5.3.2.02,6.08,10]dodec-11-ene displayed low nanomolar inhibition of 11β-HSD1. In continuation of our efforts to discover potent and selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors, herein we explored several replacements for the cyclohexane ring. Some derivatives exhibited potent inhibitory activity against human 11β-HSD1, although with low selectivity over the isoenzyme 11β-HSD2, and poor microsomal stability.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between glucocorticoid activity regulation, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis, and synovial inflammation inhibition activity, through microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) expression regulated by the glucocorticoid pre-receptor regulator, 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1 (11β-HSD1). In the present study, fibroblast-like synovial cells of rats were studied as a cell model. Cells were stimulated with 10 ng/ml interleukin (IL)-1β for 24 h, and were subsequently, within the next 24 h, treated with or without 10-6 mmol/l corticosterone alone or with 100 nmol/l PF915275. At the end of the second 24 h, PGE2 levels in culture supernatants were assayed. Cells were harvested for mRNA evaluation of 11β-HSD1, mPGES-1, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and protein detection of 11β-HSD1 and mPGES-1 using reverse transcription-qualitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis, respectively. Corticosterone was demonstrated to suppress the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors, such as TNF-α and PGE2, induced by IL-1β in vitro. Simultaneously, expression levels of 11β-HSD1 decreased significantly at the mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05). Cortisol concentration in the medium of the group treated with corticosterone was significantly increased (P<0.05) compared with that of the control group; however, the cortisol concentration was decreased in the medium when the conversion bioactivity of 11β-HSD1 was inhibited by PF915275, while the changes in 11β-HSD1 and mPGES-1 mRNA expression levels and PGE2 content were reversed in the medium. These results indicated that a significant positive correlation (P<0.01) may exist between mRNA and protein expression levels. To conclude, 11β-HSD1 is a key regulator for the synthesis of mPGES-1 and PGE2 in the inflammatory synovial cells in vitro, suggesting a potential interference target for osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Tacrolimus requires close therapeutic drug monitoring because of its narrow therapeutic index and marked interindividual pharmacokinetic variation. In this study, we investigated the associations of polymorphisms in the gene encoding 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD11B1) with tacrolimus concentrations in Chinese renal transplant recipients during the early posttransplantation stage. A total of 258 renal transplant recipients receiving tacrolimus with prednisone (30 mg) combined therapy were genotyped for HSD11B1 rs846908, rs846910, rs4844880, and CYP3A5*3 polymorphisms. Tacrolimus trough concentrations were determined on days 6-9 after transplantation, measured by a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Among the CYP3A5 expressers, the dose-adjusted trough concentration (C0/D) of tacrolimus in HSD11B1 rs846908 AA homozygous individuals was considerably lower than found in GG+GA carriers [56.2 (23.9-86.6) versus 76.7 (12.6-220.0) (ng/ml)/(mg/kg), P = 0.0204]; HSD11B1 rs846910 AA homozygotes had a lower tacrolimus C0/D compared with GG+GA carriers [51.2 (23.9-86.6) versus 76.3 (12.6-220.0) (ng/ml)/(mg/kg), P = 0.0367]; carriers with the HSD11B1 rs4844880 AA genotype had a significantly lower tacrolimus C0/D with respect to carriers of TT+TA genotypes [61.3 (23.9-97.5) versus 77.2 (12.6-220.0) (ng/ml)/(mg/kg), P = 0.0002]; the HSD11B1 AA-AA-AA haplotype carriers had a lower tacrolimus C0/D than noncarriers [51.2 (23.9-86.6) versus 76.3 (12.6-220.0) (ng/ml)/(mg/kg), P = 0.0367]. These findings illustrate that the HSD11B1 genotypes are closely correlated with tacrolimus trough concentrations, suggesting that these polymorphisms may be useful for safer dosing of tacrolimus.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid (GC) excess inhibits wound healing causing increased patient discomfort and infection risk. 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) activates GCs (converting 11-dehydrocorticosterone to corticosterone in rodents) in many tissues including skin, where de novo steroidogenesis from cholesterol has also been reported. To examine the regulation of 11β-HSD1 and steroidogenic enzyme expression during wound healing, 5 mm wounds were generated in female SKH1 mice and compared at days 0, 2, 4, 8, 14, and 21 relative to unwounded skin. 11β-HSD1 expression (mRNA and protein) and enzyme activity were elevated at 2 and 4 days post-wounding, with 11β-HSD1 localizing to infiltrating inflammatory cells. 11β-HSD2 (GC-deactivating) mRNA expression and activity were undetectable. Although several steroidogenic enzymes displayed variable expression during healing, expression of the final enzyme required for the conversion of 11-deoxycorticosterone to corticosterone, 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1), was lacking in unwounded skin and post-wounding. Consequently, 11-deoxycorticosterone was the principal progesterone metabolite in mouse skin before and after wounding. Our findings demonstrate that 11β-HSD1 activates considerably more corticosterone than is generated de novo from progesterone in mouse skin and drives GC exposure during healing, demonstrating the basis for 11β-HSD1 inhibitors to accelerate wound repair.

[PMID: 23938253 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2013.07.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2013] [Revised: 07/23/2013] [Accepted: 07/24/2013] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) plays an important role in inflammation. However, the role of 11β-HSD1 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of a selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitor BVT-2733 in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and its underlying mechanisms. CIA mice were treated with BVT-2733 (100 mg/kg, orally) or vehicle twice daily for 2 weeks. Arthritis score and joint histology were investigated. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as anti-type II collagen antibody (anti-CII) were detected by ELISA. Western blot analysis was used to assess the activation of NF-κB and NLRP1 inflammasome in joint tissues and in human RA synovial cells. BVT-2733 treatment attenuated the arthritis severity and anti-CII level in CIA mice. BVT-2733 also decreased the levels of serum TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-17. BVT-2733 treatment also significantly reduced synovial inflammation and joint destruction. NF-κB activation and NLRP1 inflammasome assembly were also inhibited in arthritic joints and human RA synovial cells. In conclusion, BVT-2733 exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect on CIA. This protective effect is, at least partly, mediated by inhibition of the NF-κB and NLRP1 inflammasome signaling pathways. 11β-HSD1 inhibition may represent a potential therapeutic target for RA patients.
