Glucocorticoids are regulated at the prereceptor level by 11beta-hydroxysteroid. dehydrogenase (11beta-HSD), which interconverts inactive cortisone and active cortisol. In a previous study, we noted that patients with hypothalamic obesity had an increased ratio of cortisol/cortisone metabolites, suggesting enhanced 11beta-HSD-1 activity. In this in vitro study, we tested the hypothesis that adipose 11beta-HSD-1 is regulated by the hypothalamus via circulating hormones, sympathetic nervous system innervation, and/or cytokines. Preadipocytes were retrieved from sc fat from healthy nonobese individuals and differentiated in vitro to mature adipocytes. Cells were incubated with several potential effectors, and the activity of 11beta-HSD-1 was assayed by measuring conversion of added 500 nM cortisone to cortisol. Expression of 11beta-HSD-1 mRNA was determined by real-time PCR, whereas lipolytic effects were determined by measuring glycerol concentration in the culture medium. CRH down-regulated 11beta-HSD-1 activity with maximal effect at 10(-9) m (65 +/- 10% of control; P < 0.001) and caused a reduction in lipolysis. Likewise, ACTH down-regulated 11beta-HSD-1 activity with maximal effect at 10(-9) m (65 +/- 20%; P < 0.05) and reduced medium glycerol. Neither CRH nor ACTH affected 11beta-HSD-1 mRNA expression. TNFalpha up-regulated 11beta-HSD-1 activity maximally at 0.6 x 10(-9) M (140 +/- 20%; P < 0.001); the same cytokine increased 11beta-HSD-1 mRNA levels to 3-fold of control (P < 0.05) and increased medium glycerol levels to 165 +/- 14% of control (P < 0.01). IL-1beta also up-regulated 11beta-HSD-1 activity maximally at 0.6 x 10(-9) M (160 +/- 33%; P < 0.001) and caused an increase in glycerol levels (159 +/- 11% of control; P < 0.001). Of the adrenergic agonists, salbutamol. up-regulated 11beta-HSD-1 activity maximally at 10(-7) M (162 +/- 46%; P < 0.02), and clonidine down-regulated it at 10(-7) M (82 +/- 15%; P < 0.005). We conclude that possible distinct hypothalamic mediators regulating adipose tissue 11beta-HSD-1 might include down-regulation of 11beta-HSD-1 activity by CRH, ACTH, and alpha2 sympathetic stimulation, and up-regulation of the enzyme by 132 sympathetic stimulation and by the cytokines TNFalpha and IL-1beta.
