11-酮二氢睾酮(11-KDHT;5α-二氢-11-酮睾酮)是一种内源性类固醇,是11β-羟基雄烯二酮的代谢产物。11-KDHT 是一种活性雄激素,也是有效的雄激素受体 (AR) 激动剂,其对人 AR 的 Ki 值为 20.4 nM,EC50 值为 1.35 nM。在依赖雄激素的前列腺癌细胞中,11-KDHT 能诱导基因调节、蛋白质表达和细胞生长。
靶点在 LNCaP 和 VCaP 细胞中,使用 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone (11-KDHT;1-10 nM) 处理 24 小时,显著促进细胞增殖。在 LNCaP 和 VCaP 细胞中,用 11-KDHT(0.1-10 nM)处理 7-10 天后,观察到 KLK3、TMPRSS2 和 FKBP5 的显著上调,其中仅在 LNCaP 细胞中于 1 nM 浓度下未见 KLK3 上调。在 PNT2 细胞中,只有约 20% 的 11β-羟基雄烯二酮 (11OHA4) 和 11β-羟基睾酮 (11OHT) 被代谢,前者产生 11-酮-雄烯二酮 (11KA4)、11-KDHT 和 11β-羟基-5α-雄甾烯二酮 (11OH-5αDIONE),后者则生成 11OHA4、11KT 及 11-KDHT,其下游产物浓度均低于 0.03 μM。在前列腺癌组织中,检测到 C11-氧 C19 代谢物的水平显著高于 C19 类固醇,未结合型 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone (11KT)、11OHA4 的浓度范围为 13 至 37.5 ng/g。在血浆中分析总类固醇水平显示 11OHA4(≈230-440 nM)、11KT(≈250-390 nM)和 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone(≈19 nM)的显著浓度。

C11-oxy C19 and C11-oxy C21 steroids have been identified as novel steroids but their function remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the pre-receptor regulation of C11-oxy steroids by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11βHSD) interconversion and potential agonist and antagonist activity associated with the androgen (AR) and progesterone receptors (PRA and PRB). Steroid conversions were investigated in transiently transfected HEK293 cells expressing 11βHSD1 and 11βHSD2, while CV1 cells were utilised for agonist and antagonist assays. The conversion of C11-hydroxy steroids to C11-oxo steroids by 11βHSD2 occurred more readily than the reverse reaction catalysed by 11βHSD1, while the interconversion of C11-oxy C19 steroids was more efficient than C11-oxy C21 steroids. Furthermore, 11-ketodihydrotestosterone (11KDHT), 11-ketotestosterone (11KT) and 11β-hydroxydihydrotestosterone (11OHDHT) were AR agonists, while only progestogens, 11β-hydroxyprogesterone (11βOHP4), 11β-hydroxydihydroprogesterone (11βOHDHP4), 11α-hydroxyprogesterone (11αOHP4), 11α-hydroxydihydroprogesterone (11αOHDHP4), 11-ketoprogesterone (11KP4), 5α-pregnan-17α-diol-3,11,20-trione (11KPdione) and 21-deoxycortisone (21dE) exhibited antagonist activity. C11-hydroxy C21 steroids, 11βOHP4, 11βOHDHP4 and 11αOHP4 exhibited PRA and PRB agonistic activity, while only C11-oxo steroids, 11KP4 and 11-ketoandrostanediol (11K3αdiol) demonstrated PRB agonism. While no steroids antagonised the PRA, 11OHA4, 11β-hydroxytestosterone (11OHT), 11KT and 11KDHT exhibited PRB antagonism. The regulatory role of 11βHSD isozymes impacting receptor activation is clear—C11-oxo androgens exhibit AR agonist activity; only C11-hydroxy progestogens exhibit PRA and PRB agonist activity. Regulation by the downstream metabolites of active C11-oxy steroids at the receptor level is apparent—C11-hydroxy and C11-oxo metabolites antagonize the AR and PRB, progestogens the former, androgens the latter. The findings highlight the intricate interplay between receptors and active as well as “inactive” C11-oxy steroids, suggesting novel regulatory tiers.
