Isoform-specific Induction of a Human Aldo-Keto Reductase by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Electrophiles, and Oxidative Stress: Implications for the Alternative Pathway of PAH Activation Catalyzed by Human Dihydrodiol Dehydrogenase

TL;DR: Data suggest that, in contrast to the CYPs, induction of AKR1C member(s) by PAHs and other bifunctional inducers is mediated indirectly via an antioxidant response element rather than a xenobiotic response element.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 1C3: role in prostate disease and the development of specific inhibitors.

TL;DR: Aldo-keto reductases (AKR) of the 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D subfamilies are involved in the pre-receptor regulation of nuclear (steroid hormone and orphan) receptors by regulating the local concentrations of their lipophilic ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-function aspects and inhibitor design of type 5 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (AKR1C3)☆

TL;DR: It is predicted that AKR1C3 catalyzes an ordered bi bi mechanism, that the rate determining step is k(chem), and that an oxyanion prevails in the transition state, and steroidal-based inhibitors that compete with the steroid product would be desirable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mammalian 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases

TL;DR: Molecular cloning indicates that mammalian 3α-HSDs belong to the aldo-keto reductase superfamily and that they are highly homologous proteins, and details regarding structure-function relationships, including catalysis and cofactor and steroid hormone recognition have been elucidated.
Journal Article

Cloning, sequencing, and functional analysis of the 5′-flanking region of the rat 3α-hydroxysteroid/dihydrodiol dehydrogenase gene

TL;DR: C cis-acting elements responsible for the constitutive expression of the rat 3 alpha-HSD/DD gene were located on the 5'-flanking region by transient transfection of reporter-gene constructs into human hepatoma cells (HepG2).
