Abstract
CONTEXT Hydrocortisone treatment of young patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is given thrice daily, but there is debate about the optimal timing of the highest hydrocortisone dose, either mimicking the physiological diurnal rhythm (morning), or optimally suppressing androgen activity (evening). OBJECTIVE We aimed to compare 2 standard hydrocortisone timing strategies, either highest dosage in the morning or evening, with respect to hormonal status throughout the day, nocturnal blood pressure (BP), and sleep and activity scores. METHODS This 6-week crossover study included 39 patients (aged 4-19 years) with 21OHD. Patients were treated for 3 weeks with the highest hydrocortisone dose in the morning, followed by 3 weeks with the highest dose in the evening (n = 21), or vice versa (n = 18). Androstenedione (A4) and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) levels were quantified in saliva collected at 5 am; 7 am; 3 pm; and 11 pm during the last 2 days of each treatment period. The main outcome measure was comparison of saliva 17OHP and A4 levels between the 2 treatment strategies. RESULTS Administration of the highest dose in the evening resulted in significantly lower 17OHP levels at 5 am, whereas the highest dose in the morning resulted in significantly lower 17OHP and A4 levels in the afternoon. The 2 treatment dose regimens were comparable with respect to averaged daily hormone levels, nocturnal BP, and activity and sleep scores. CONCLUSION No clear benefit for either treatment schedule was established. Given the variation in individual responses, we recommend individually optimizing dose distribution and monitoring disease control at multiple time points.

Abstract
This study examined the effect of hyaluronan (HA) molecular weight on immune response. HA with molecular weights ranging from the unitary disaccharide unit (400 Da) up to 1.7 × 10(6) Da and with very low endotoxin contamination level (less than 0.03 EU/mg) was used. Primary human monocyte/macrophage cultures were assayed for IL-1β production under a variety of inflammatory conditions with or without HA. Under the highest inflammatory states, production of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) was suppressed in the presence of high molecular weight hyaluronan (HMW-HA) and in the presence of low molecular weight hyaluronan (LMW-HA) at mg/mL concentrations. There was variability in the sensitivity of the response to HA fragments with MW below 5000 Da at micromolar concentrations. There was variability in IL-1β cytokine productions from donor to donor in unstimulated human cell cultures. This study supplements our previous published study that investigated the immunogenic effect of HA molecular weights using murine cell line RAW264.6, rat splenocytes, and rat adherent differentiated primary macrophages. These data support the hypothesis that if the amount of endotoxin is reduced to an extremely low level, LMW-HA may not directly provoke normal tissue macrophage-mediated inflammatory reactions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Glucocorticoids are commonly prescribed to treat a number of diseases including the majority of inflammatory diseases. Despite considerable interpersonal variability in response to glucocorticoids, an insensitivity rate of about 30%, and the risk of adverse side effects of glucocorticoid therapy, currently no assay is performed to determine sensitivity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Here we propose a whole blood ex vivo stimulation assay to interrogate known glucocorticoid receptor (GR) up- and downregulated genes to indicate glucocorticoid sensitivity. We have chosen to employ real-time PCR in order to provide a relatively fast and inexpensive assay. RESULTS We show that the GR-regulated genes, GILZ and FKBP51, are upregulated in whole blood by treatment with dexamethasone and that LPS-induction of cytokines (IL-6 and TNFα) are repressed by dexamethasone in a dose responsive manner. There is considerable interpersonal variability in the maximum induction of these genes but little variation in the EC(50) and IC(50) concentrations. The regulation of the GR-induced genes differs throughout the day whereas the suppression of LPS-induced cytokines is not as sensitive to time of day. CONCLUSION In all, this assay would provide a method to determine glucocorticoid receptor responsiveness in whole blood.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assessment of the temporal interrelationship of neuropsychiatric parameters requires technologies allowing frequent biological measurements. We propose glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function of lymphocytes to assess the temporal relationship between glucocorticoid resistance and the course of major depressive disorder. METHOD Dexamethasone suppression of lymphocyte proliferation was in vitro assessed via 5-bromo-2' deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation in DNA. Optimal conditions were determined using blood of healthy volunteers. Thereafter the relation between depression severity (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, HDRS, scores), lymphocyte proliferation and morning cortisol levels in blood was studied in thirteen depressed patients, mostly with a history of treatment resistance. RESULTS Recovery from depression was not directly associated with changes in lymphocyte glucocorticoid resistance. However, a negative correlation was observed between HDRS and BrdU incorporation and a positive correlation between morning cortisol and BrdU incorporation. No significant correlation was found between cortisol and HDRS. Regression analyses showed that HDRS was related to both suppression of BrdU incorporation (beta -0.508, p<0.001) and cortisol levels (beta 0.364, p=0.001) in a highly significant model (F2,60=14,244, p<0.001) Except for one case, such relation could not be found within patients. CONCLUSION Our preliminary results suggest a mutual relation between lymphocyte GR function, morning cortisol levels and MDD symptom severity. A direct relation between glucocorticoids resistance and recovery may not exist, but glucocorticoid resistance might attenuate or prevent recovery. It is clear that additional studies using larger and more homogenous groups of MDD patients are required to support our findings.

Abstract
Although in the majority of the patients with Cushing's syndrome (CS), hypercortisolism is due to ACTH hypersecretion by a pituitary tumour or to ectopic ACTH secretion from an extrapituitary neoplastic lesion or to autonomous cortisol secretion by an adrenal tumour, in occasional patients a much rarer entity may be the cause of the syndrome. Herein, we attempted to summarise and categorise these unusual causes according to their presumed aetiology. To this end, we performed a comprehensive computer-based search for unusual or rare causes of CS. The following unusual forms of CS were identified: (i) ACTH hyperesecretion due to ectopic corticotroph adenomas in the parasellar region or the neurohypophysis, or as part of double adenomas, or gangliocytomas; (ii) ACTH hypersecretion due to ectopic CRH or CRH-like peptide secretion by various neoplasms; (iii) ACTH-independent cortisol hypersecretion from ectopic or bilateral adrenal adenomas; (iv) glucocorticoid hypersensitivity; (v) iatrogenic, due to megestrol administration or to ritonavir and fluticasone co-administration. Such unusual presentations of CS illustrate why Cushing's syndrome represents one of the most puzzling endocrine syndromes.

Abstract
Correlation between the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) number and affinity for the ligand, as well as the relationship between these equilibrium binding parameters and body mass index, blood pressure, and age were examined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of healthy human subjects. It was found that the only statistically significant correlation was that between the GR number per cell and equilibrium dissociation constant, K(d) (r = 0.84, p < 0.0001). This observation implies the existence of a compensatory mechanism providing for lower GR affinity in individuals that have more receptor sites in circulating mononuclear cells and vice versa. This compensatory phenomenon together with considerable interindividual variation (GR number per cell ranging from 1391 to 15133, CV = 58.62%; and K(d) from 2.5 to 98.6 nM, CV = 80.87%), reflects plasticity of the glucocorticoid system. The results pose the question of whether this compensatory mechanism observed in healthy human subjects persists in pathophysiological states associated with glucocorticoid hormone actions and suggest that tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids could be better predicted by the sign and magnitude of the correlation between the two receptor equilibrium binding parameters than by each of them separately.

Abstract
Circulating levels of glucocorticoids show a circadian rhythm. Obesity is associated with a flattening of the diurnal rhythm; plasma cortisol levels are slightly increased during the trough, although they are normal or low in the morning. Studies in humans and in leptin-resistant Zucker rats suggest that tissue-specific alterations in glucocorticoid exposure might play a key role for development of obesity and obesity-associated dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. We hypothesized that there is a circadian rhythm in prereceptor metabolism of glucocorticoids exerted by 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1) in brain and/or peripheral tissues (liver, fat, and muscle) that might be abrogated in obesity. The present study demonstrates a circadian rhythm in 11beta-HSD1 mRNA expression (35-45% increase at morning vs. evening, P < 0.05) in dentate gyrus granular layer and CA1 subregions of the hippocampus in lean Zucker rats that was lost in the obese rats. Sprague Dawley rats also revealed a diurnal rhythm in hippocampal 11beta-HSD1 mRNA expression. There was no circadian variation in 11beta-HSD enzyme activity in peripheral tissues, although obese Zucker rats had a decreased enzyme activity in liver and epididymal fat (by approximately 40%, P < 0.05) compared with lean rats. In Sprague Dawley rats, 11beta-HSD activity in adipose tissue was higher in retroperitoneal and epididymal vs. sc fat (P < 0.001). In summary, obese Zucker rats lack a circadian rhythm of 11beta-HSD1 gene expression in the hippocampus, which may contribute to increased activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and altered diurnal variation of circulating corticosterone levels.

Abstract
Subclinical hypercortisolism (SH) is a newly characterized hormonal disorder that is almost exclusively detected in the context of incidentally discovered adrenal masses. The diagnostic criteria used for the definition of this condition are at present controversial. Amongst the various tests used for the detection of this abnormality (dexamethasone suppression, urinary free cortisol, ACTH levels, midnight serum or salivary cortisol concentrations, ACTH responses to CRH stimulation), the dexamethasone suppression tests (DST) seem to better accomplish the task of unmasking subtle abnormalities of cortisol secretion. Several versions of DST have been used: the 1-mg overnight, the 3-mg overnight and the classical 2-day low-dose DST. This latter test has the theoretical advantage that, by more efficiently suppressing pituitary ACTH secretion, it may provide a measure of the residual (ie non- ACTH-dependent) cortisol secretion from the adrenal mass. In this way, post-dexamethasone cortisol concentrations may quantify the degree of autonomous cortisol hypersecretion. In fact, post-dexamethasone cortisol concentrations have a negative correlation with basal ACTH levels and a positive correlation with midnight cortisol concentrations as well as the size of the incidentally discovered adrenal mass. Most of the existing data indicate that SH detected in the context of adrenal incidentalomas may have some clinically significant implications. In fact, patients with higher post-dexamethasone cortisol concentrations demonstrate higher lipid levels and lower bone mass densities. It has also been suggested that SH may be responsible for biochemical and phenotypic changes reminiscent of the metabolic syndrome. In summary, SH does exist and is associated with a negative impact in patients' health; however, hormonal cut-off criteria for decision-making remain to be defined.

Abstract
Slow wave sleep (SWS) is characterized by maximum release of growth hormone (GH) and minimum release of cortisol. We hypothesized that this hormonal pattern during SWS leads, in addition to generally increased T cell cytokine production, to a shift towards type1 cytokines. To test this hypothesis, blood was sampled from 8 humans during SWS, and whole blood cultures were activated in-vitro with ionomycin and phorbol-myrestate-acetate (PMA) in the absence and presence of GH neutralizing antibody (Ab) or physiological concentrations of cortisol. Production of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was measured using multiparametric flow cytometry. GH Ab decreased IFN-gamma+CD4+ cells but had no effect on other cytokines. Cortisol alone and in combination with GH Ab decreased CD4+ and CD8+ cells producing IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and IL-2. Simultaneously, these two reactants reduced IL-4+CD4+ cells, so that the ratio of IFN-gamma/IL4 producing CD4+ cells indicated an unexpected shift towards type1 dominance. Results support the view that release of GH by increasing particularly production of IFN-gamma can contribute to the shift in type1/type2 balance towards type1 activity characterizing SWS. Suppression of cortisol during this sleep period enhances both type1 and type2 activity. Yet, our finding of predominant type1 activity after cortisol administration, rules out any relevance of this suppression for the shift towards type1 activity during SWS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In a previous publication, we had presented a sensitive method to detect mutations of the segment of the human glucocorticoid receptor alpha (hGRalpha) gene encoding the ligand binding domain (LBD) and part of the DNA binding domain (DBD) of hGRalpha, as several types of glucocorticoid resistance syndromes have been correlated with mutations in the respective nucleotide sequences. However, mutations affecting various regions covering the whole length of hGRalpha are increasingly reported in a variety of disease states. We now present an expanded screening methodology to detect mutations covering the whole length of hGRalpha. DESIGN AND METHODS We developed a sensitive, simple screening PCR-DGGE method to detect mutations in the aminoterminal domain and DNA-binding domain of the hGRalpha. Wild type hGRalpha cDNA and mutant samples were included in the analysis to ensure the accuracy and sensitivity of the method. RESULTS The PCR-DGGE method identified the mutant samples and discriminated them from wild type hGRalpha. CONCLUSIONS The method described is accurate, sensitive, simple, cheap and fulfills the critera for a screening method which will be useful in delineating possible involvement of hGRalpha mutations in the aetiopathology of diseases correlated to derangements of glucocorticoid action.
