11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1 (11β-HSD1) plays a key role in glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation. Besides, it metabolizes some oxysterols and bile acids (BAs). The GR regulates BA homeostasis; however, the impact of impaired 11β-HSD1 activity remained unknown. We profiled plasma and liver BAs in liver-specific and global 11β-HSD1-deficient mice. 11β-HSD1-deficiency resulted in elevated circulating unconjugated BAs, an effect more pronounced in global than liver-specific knockout mice. Gene expression analyses revealed decreased expression of the BA-CoA ligase Fatp5, suggesting impaired BA amidation. Reduced organic anion-transporting polypeptide-1A1 (Oatp1a1) and enhanced organic solute-transporter-β (Ostb) mRNA expression were observed in livers from global 11β-HSD1-deficient mice. The impact of 11β-HSD1-deficiency on BA homeostasis seems to be GR-independent because intrahepatic corticosterone and GR target gene expression were not substantially decreased in livers from global knockout mice. Moreover, Fatp5 expression in livers from hepatocyte-specific GR knockout mice was unchanged. The results revealed a role for 11β-HSD1 in BA homeostasis.
11β-羟类固醇脱氢酶-1(11β-HSD1)在糖皮质激素受体(GR)激活中起着关键作用。此外,它还代谢一些氧化固醇和胆汁酸(BAs)。GR 调节 BA 动态平衡;然而,11β-HSD1 活性受损的影响仍不清楚。我们对肝脏特异性和全身性 11β-HSD1 缺陷小鼠的血浆和肝脏 BAs 进行了分析。11β-HSD1 缺陷导致循环中非结合型 BAs 水平升高,这种效应在全身性而非肝脏特异性敲除小鼠中更为明显。基因表达分析显示 BA-CoA 连接酶 Fatp5 的表达降低,表明 BA 酰胺化受损。观察到全身性 11β-HSD1 缺陷小鼠肝脏中的有机阴离子转运多肽 1A1(Oatp1a1)mRNA 表达降低和有机溶质转运体-β(Ostb)mRNA 表达增强。11β-HSD1 缺陷对 BA 动态平衡的影响似乎与 GR 无关,因为全身性敲除小鼠肝脏内的肝内皮质酮和 GR 靶基因表达没有明显降低。此外,肝细胞特异性 GR 敲除小鼠肝脏中的 Fatp5 表达没有变化。结果表明 11β-HSD1 在 BA 动态平衡中起作用。
