Progress on the role of 11β-HSD1 in inflammation,development of hepatocellular carcinoma and immunity

Abstract

The 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) with anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory effects in inflammatory diseases is related to metabolism, as well as in the immune response through regulatpn of glucocorticoid (GC) synthesis. The expression and functional activity of 11β-HSD1 are potentially induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines, this process relies on the NF-κB signaling pathway and is ultimately determined by the utilization levels of HSD11B1 P1 and P2 promoters. In addition, 11β-HSD1 inhibits the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma by reducing glucose intake and glycolysis in hepatocellular carcinoma, and thus plays a role in the development of T cells in thymus and the form of angiogenesis by regulating the level of GC. Understanding the molecular regulatory mechanism of 11β-HSD1 in inflammatory diseases, carcinogenesis, development and immune response is conducive to exploring the occurrence and development of related diseases.
