Steroid 21-hydroxylase expression and activity in human lymphocytes

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1997
Steroid 21-hydroxylase encoded by CYP21 is expressed in adrenal cortex. Mutations in CYP21 cause potentially lethal congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Earlier observations suggested alternative sources of 21-hydroxylase activity, although its genetic source remains unclear.

Oxygen‐independent expression of HIF‐1α during the cell cycle in hepatocellular carcinoma cells controls essential metabolic pathways under normoxia

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In Huh7 cells, HIF‐1α is essential as it maintains the expression of proteins involved in glycolysis and steroid/cholesterol biosynthesis both under normoxia and hypoxia. On the other hand, in HeLa cells, these pathways are induced by HIF‐1α only under hypoxia.

Growth characteristics of children with 21-hydroxylase deficiency and the value of steroid hormones in height assessment

open access: yesBMC Pediatrics
Background Impaired height is a common complication of 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD), yet sensitive monitoring indicators remain limited. This study aims to elucidate growth characteristics and identify effective monitoring parameters for 21OHD ...

Management issues of congenital adrenal hyperplasia during the transition from pediatric to adult care [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Pediatrics, 2017
Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most prevalent form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), accounting for approximately 95% of cases. With the advent of newborn screening and hormone replacement therapy, most children with CAH survive into ...

Remission during pregnancy of severe Chronic Hypertension due to 11-ß Hydroxylase Deficiency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
When hypertension is a result of an underlying identifiable abnormality, the latter's early discovery can lead to a timely cure of the hypertension and the prevention of its complications.

Variations of Steroid Hormone Metabolites in Serum and Urine in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome after Nafarelin Stimulation: Evidence for an Altered Corticoid Excretion. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
To evaluate the clinical relevance of testing pituitary-ovarian responses in patients suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with the GnRH agonist nafarelin, a 1.2-mg dose of nafarelin was given intranasally to 19 women with PCOS and 15 healthy ...

Steroidogenic compensation and lipid deficiency with enhanced NAD+ salvage in small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Fetal growth restriction is associated with placental metabolic adaptations. In small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta (SGA), cholesterol receptors and steroidogenic enzymes are upregulated, enhancing steroidogenesis. NAD salvage pathway is also increased to support NADP+/NADPH requirements.

Novel deletion alleles carrying CYP21A1P/A2 chimeric genes in Brazilian patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2010
Background Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is caused by deletions, large gene conversions or mutations in CYP21A2 gene. The human gene is located at 6p21.3 within a locus containing the genes for putative serine/threonine ...

Asynchronous Rhythm of Steroidogenic Factor 1 and Period Homolog 2 mRNA Expression in Mouse Y1 Adrenocorticol Tumor Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The relationship between the expression of Steroidogenic factor 1 (Sf1) and the circadian-related gene, period homolog 2 (Per2), in the adrenal cortex is still unknown.

Regulation of 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/∆5-∆4 Isomerase: A Review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This review focuses on the expression and regulation of 3β-hydroxysteroi ddehydrogenase/Δ5-Δ4 isomerase (3β-HSD), with emphasis on the porcine version. 3β-HSD is often associated with steroidogenesis, but its function in the metabolism of both steroids ...
