Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that neutrophil recruitment to the heart following myocardial infarction (MI) is enhanced in mice lacking 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) that regenerates active glucocorticoid within cells from intrinsically inert metabolites. The present study aimed to identify the mechanism of regulation. In a mouse model of MI, neutrophil mobilization to blood and recruitment to the heart were higher in 11β-HSD1-deficient (Hsd11b1-/- ) relative to wild-type (WT) mice, despite similar initial injury and circulating glucocorticoid. In bone marrow chimeric mice, neutrophil mobilization was increased when 11β-HSD1 was absent from host cells, but not when absent from donor bone marrow-derived cells. Consistent with a role for 11β-HSD1 in 'host' myocardium, gene expression of a subset of neutrophil chemoattractants, including the chemokines Cxcl2 and Cxcl5, was selectively increased in the myocardium of Hsd11b1-/- mice relative to WT. SM22α-Cre directed disruption of Hsd11b1 in smooth muscle and cardiomyocytes had no effect on neutrophil recruitment. Expression of Cxcl2 and Cxcl5 was elevated in fibroblast fractions isolated from hearts of Hsd11b1-/- mice post MI and provision of either corticosterone or of the 11β-HSD1 substrate, 11-dehydrocorticosterone, to cultured murine cardiac fibroblasts suppressed IL-1α-induced expression of Cxcl2 and Cxcl5 These data identify suppression of CXCL2 and CXCL5 chemoattractant expression by 11β-HSD1 as a novel mechanism with potential for regulation of neutrophil recruitment to the injured myocardium, and cardiac fibroblasts as a key site for intracellular glucocorticoid regeneration during acute inflammation following myocardial injury.

Abstract
The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and mineralocorticoids regulate epithelial handling of electrolytes, and induces diverse effects on other tissues. Traditionally, the effects of MR were ascribed to ligand-receptor binding and activation of gene transcription. However, the MR also utilises a number of intracellular signalling cascades, often by transactivating unrelated receptors, to change cell function more rapidly. Although aldosterone is the physiological mineralocorticoid, it is not the sole ligand for MR. Tissue-selective and mineralocorticoid-specific effects are conferred through the enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2, cellular redox status and properties of the MR itself. Furthermore, not all aldosterone effects are mediated via MR, with implication of the involvement of other membrane-bound receptors such as GPER. This review will describe the ligands, receptors and intracellular mechanisms available for mineralocorticoid hormone and receptor signalling and illustrate their complex interactions in physiology and disease.

Abstract
Stromal cells such as fibroblasts play an important role in defining tissue-specific responses during the resolution of inflammation. We hypothesized that this involves tissue-specific regulation of glucocorticoids, mediated via differential regulation of the enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1). Expression, activity and function of 11β-HSD1 was assessed in matched fibroblasts derived from various tissues (synovium, bone marrow and skin) obtained from patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. 11β-HSD1 was expressed in fibroblasts from all tissues but mRNA levels and enzyme activity were higher in synovial fibroblasts (2-fold and 13-fold higher mRNA levels in dermal and synovial fibroblasts, respectively, relative to bone marrow). Expression and activity of the enzyme increased in all fibroblasts following treatment with tumour necrosis factor-α or IL-1β (bone marrow: 8-fold and 37-fold, respectively, compared to vehicle; dermal fibroblasts: 4-fold and 14-fold; synovial fibroblasts: 7-fold and 31-fold; all P < 0.01 compared with vehicle). Treatment with IL-4 or interferon-γ was without effect, and there was no difference in 11β-HSD1 expression between fibroblasts (from any site) obtained from patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. In the presence of 100 nmol/l cortisone, IL-6 production – a characteristic feature of synovial derived fibroblasts – was significantly reduced in synovial but not dermal or bone marrow fibroblasts. This was prevented by co-treatment with an 11β-HSD inhibitor, emphasizing the potential for autocrine activation of glucocorticoids in synovial fibroblasts. These data indicate that differences in fibroblast-derived glucocorticoid production (via the enzyme 11β-HSD1) between cells from distinct anatomical locations may play a key role in the predeliction of certain tissues to develop persistent inflammation.

Abstract
The enzyme 11-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 plays a major role in blood pressure regulation. It metabolizes glucocorticoid hormones into derivatives with low affinity for the mineralocorticoid receptor, preventing its permanent occupancy by circulating cortisol, which is 100- to 1000-fold more abundant than aldosterone in the plasma. Inactivating mutations of the enzyme result in severe hypertension, as seen in children with apparent mineralocorticoid excess syndrome. In patients with essential hypertension, however, attempts to evidence enzyme deficiency have been inconclusive. In this pilot study, its catalytic activity was measured directly in aldosterone-sensitive sweat gland ducts collected from skin biopsy samples of 10 male normotensive subjects and 10 subjects with essential hypertension (more than 140 to 90 mm Hg) with no sign of hypermineralocorticism. Isolated ducts were assayed for nicotinamide-dinucleotide-dependent dehydrogenase activity (transformation of tritiated corticosterone into tritiated-11 dehydrocorticosterone, as measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography). Hypertensive patients exhibited significantly lower 11-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 activity (9.7+/-4.7 femtomoles per 3 mm length of duct and per 10 minutes incubation, median+/-SD) than did normotensive subjects (15.9+/-2.6). Such defect was undetectable using the classical urinary corticosteroid metabolism indexes, probably because of compensatory mechanisms. Relations between these findings and blood pressure levels should benefit from direct enzyme measurements in the vasculature. In conclusion, this cross-sectional study points to partial 11-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 deficiency as a novel feature of essential hypertension, which should stimulate search for new signaling pathways and therapeutical targets.

Abstract
To evaluate the role of sexually dimorphic tissue expression of 11beta-oxidase activity of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11betaHSD) in gender-associated blood pressure differences, we have studied female and male hypertensive rats of two different strains and their normotensive controls: spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and Dahl salt-sensitive (SS/Jr) and salt-resistant rats (SR/Jr). In hypertensive SHR and SS/Jr, but not in normotensive strains WKY and SR/Jr, blood pressure reached a higher level in males than in females. The activity of 11betaHSD was higher in the renal cortex, medulla, colon and aorta of males than of females in all investigated strains with the exception of aortic 11betaHSD in SHR and WKY rats, both of which had very low 11beta-oxidase activity. In contrast to gender-dependent differences, strain differences of 11betaHSD were observed in a limited number of tissues only. Renal medullary 11betaHSD showed significantly lower activity in WKY than in SHR, whereas no difference was observed in the renal cortex. Similarly, colonic 11betaHSD activity was lower in WKY than in SHR. In Dahl rats the strain differences were observed in aortic 11betaHSD that had higher activity in SR/Jr than in SS/Jr rats; no difference was observed in the kidney or colon. These data demonstrate the following. 1) Sexual dimorphism of 11betaHSD activity exists in the kidney, colon, and aorta. 2) The sexual dimorphism of 11betaHSD does not play a role in gender-associated differences in blood pressure. 3) The reduced 11betaHSD activity in the aorta of hypertensive SS/Jr compared to SR/Jr rats suggests that this enzyme might play a role in the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension in Dahl rats.

Abstract
Thrombospondin (TSP) 1 and 2 are extracellular matrix proteins that appear to play a role in cell adhesion and cell migration. It has been demonstrated that the pattern of TSP expression is shifted from TSP1 to TSP2 under adrenocorticotrophic hormone treatment in bovine adrenocortical cells. We investigated the expression in human adrenal tissues by Northern blot analysis and correlated these data with the expression of the adrenocorticotrophic hormone-receptor (ACTH-R). All adrenal tissues (control adrenals, nonfunctional adenomas and ACTH-dependent aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA)) expressed both TSP1 and TSP2 mRNAs. Compared to control adrenals (TSP1 and TSP2 expression = 100 +/- 12%, respectively), TSP1 expression was negatively (51 +/- 10%, p < 0.01) and TSP2 expression was positively (289 +/- 36%, p < 0.01) regulated in APA. No significant differences in TSP1 and TSP2 expressions were found between control adrenals and nonfunctional adenomas. In APA, TSP1 (r = -0.86, p<0.01) and TSP2 (r = 0.88, p < 0.01) expressions correlated closely with the expression of ACTH-R. These results suggest that ACTH activity plays an important role in regulating the expression of TSPs in human adrenal tissues. We speculate that the shift of expression observed in APA may be associated with the phenotype of the tumors.
