The physiology of adrenarche, i.e. the development of the zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex, is mostly unknow. Some genes of steroidogenic enzymes need to be down- (HSD3B2) while others upregulated (e.g. CYB5) to enhance androgen production in zona reticularis, but it is not known how this is regulated. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that can affect gene expression at posttranscriptional level. We hypothesized that miRNAs might be involved in regulating adr...

Metabolic effects of cortisol insufficiency are sex-depended in a zebrafish model of 21-hydroxylase deficiency

Bacila Irina , Oberski Lara , Cunliffe Vincent , Krone Nils

Background: Patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) require life-long glucocorticoid (GC) replacement and have high prevalence of metabolic disease. Our previous work using a zebrafish model of 21OHD (cyp21a2-/-) showed that cortisol-deficient adults were fertile and had normal external sex characteristics, however, they had large body size and increased subcutaneous and visceral fat deposition compared to wild-types. Unlike human 21OHD, they ...

Context: Children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) require hydrocortisone replacement from birth. The highest ACTH driven endogenous production of androgens happens in the early morning. To achieve a good therapy control, immediate release hydrocortisone is given early in the morning or late at night. In year 2021 the hydrocortisone modified-release hard capsule (Efmody®) was approved by the European medicine agency and from September 2021 it is l...

MIRAGE syndrome is characterized by myelodysplasia, infection, restriction of growth, adrenal hypoplasia, genital phenotypes and enteropathy. It was established in 2016 as a new syndromic disorder caused by a gain-of-function mutation in the SAMD9 gene, which encodes a protein that suppresses cell proliferation. Due to the poor life prognosis, there are few reports on the long-term survival. Therefore, we herein report the clinical course of a 24-year-old male patient...

Introduction: 21-Hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is the archetype of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Deficiency of 21-Hydroxylase results in an impairment of cortisol synthesis, which is critical in stressful conditions when higher output is required to restore homeostasis. In addition, an increased androgen production, might results in undesirable manifestations of hyperandrogenism, as menstrual abnormalities, infertility and cosmetic annoyances and gro...

Introduction: Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by ACTH-resistant isolated cortisol deficiency. FGD usually presents with hypoglycemia, convulsions, prolonged jaundice, and marked skin hyperpigmentation in the early period of life.
