Testosterone biosynthesis in Leydig cells is dependent on two cvtochrome P450 enzymes, cholesterol sidechain cleavage (P45O5) and 1 7a-hydroxylase/C17-20 lya. se (P4501 7&. The expression of these Iwo enzymes is differentially regulated by LII acting via its second messenger, cyclic adenosine 3’, 5’-monophosphate(cAMP), and by specific steroid hormones. P4505 is constitutively expressed in normal mouse Leydig cells and in MA-JO tumor Levdig cells. Chronic cAMP stimulation increases the steady state levels of 450scc mRNA and de novo P45O5 protein synthesis. In contrast, cAMP is obligatory for de novo synthesis of P450 J7cx in normal mouse Leydig cells; P45OI7a synthesis ceases in the absence of luteinizing hormone or cAMP. MA-JO tumor Leydig cells do not express P45017a even after treatment with cAMP. The amount of P4501 7a in Leydig cells is negatively regulated by testosterone acting by two distinct mechanisms. At low concentrations, testosterone acts via the androgen receptor to repress cAMP-induced synthesis of P4501 7a’whereas at high concentrations this steroid increases the rate of degradation of the enzyme by an oxygen-mediated mechanism. Both constitutive and cAMP-induced synthesis of P45O5 protein and steady state levels of mRNA are modulated by glucocorticoids. in normal mouse Leydig cells, glucocorticoids repress P45O5 synthesis and steady state levels of pso5 mRNA, whereas glucocorticoids stimulate P45O5 synthesis and levels of, nRNA in the tumor Leydig cells. Thus regulation of these two cytochrome P450 enzymes in Leydig cells is complex: not only do different factors regulate each enzyme within the same cell, but the same enzyme is regulated by different mechanisms in normal compared to tumor Leydig cells. Many questions remain, including the regulatory mechanisms that determine species and tissue specific expression of P45OSC and 450J7a as well as cAMP-independent expression of P4505 The recent availability of new molecular tools should contribute to a better understanding of the complexity of the regulation of P450 expression in steroidogenic cells.
