Suppression of DHEA sulfotransferase (Sult2A1) during the acute-phase response.
The acute-phase response (APR) induces alterations in lipid metabolism, and our data suggest that this is associated with suppression of type II nuclear hormone receptors that are key regulators of fatty acid, cholesterol, and bile acid metabolism. Recently, the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), and pregnane X receptor (PXR) were found to regulate DHEA sulfotra...
متن کاملA SULT2A1 genetic variant identified by GWAS as associated with low serum DHEAS does not impact on the actual DHEA/DHEAS ratio
DHEA is the major precursor of human sex steroid synthesis and is inactivated via sulfonation to DHEAS. A previous genome-wide association study related the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2637125, located near the coding region of DHEA sulfotransferase, SULT2A1, to serum DHEAS concentrations. However, the functional relevance of this SNP with regard to DHEA sulfonation is unknown. Using...
متن کاملAdrenarche: postnatal adrenal zonation and hormonal and metabolic regulation.
Adrenarche is the direct consequence of the organogenesis of the zona reticularis (ZR). Proliferation of cortical cells could take place in the outermost layers of the adrenal cortex. Cells could then migrate to differentiate the zona glomerulosa (ZG) and zona fasciculata (ZF) during fetal life, and the ZR during postnatal life. After adrenarche, there are detectable increases in circulating DH...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of two amino acids critical for the substrate inhibition of human dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase (SULT2A1).
Substrate inhibition is a characteristic feature of many cytosolic sulfotransferases. The differences between the complex structures of SULT2A1/DHEA and SULT2A1/PAP or SULT2A1/ADT (Protein Data Bank codes are 1J99, 1EFH, and 1OV4, respectively) have enabled us to elucidate the specific amino acids responsible for substrate inhibition. Based on the structural analyses, substitution of the smalle...
متن کاملReducing Toxicity and Increasing Efficiency: Aconitine with Liquiritin and Glycyrrhetinic Acid Regulate Calcium Regulatory Proteins in Rat Myocardial Cell
BACKGROUND Compatibility of Radix Aconiti Carmichaeli and Liquorice is known to treat heart diseases such as heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. This work answers the question that whether the active components (Aconitine, Liquiritin and Glycyrrhetinic Acid) of Radix Aconiti Carmichaeli and Liquorice could result in regulating intracellular calcium homeostasis and calcium cycling, and thereb...
