Although the role of arachidonic acid (AA) in angiotensin II (ANG II)- and potassium-stimulated steroid production in zona glomerulosa cells is well documented, the mechanism responsible for AA release is not fully described. In this study we evaluated the mechanism involved in the release of intramitochondrial AA and its role in the regulation of aldosterone synthesis by ANG II in glomerulosa cells. We show that ANG II and potassium induce the expression of acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) thioesterase 2 and acyl-CoA synthetase 4, two enzymes involved in intramitochondrial AA generation/export system well characterized in other steroidogenic systems. We demonstrate that mitochondrial ATP is required for AA generation/export system, steroid production, and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein induction. We also demonstrate the role of protein tyrosine phosphatases regulating acyl-CoA synthetase 4 and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein induction, and hence ANG II-stimulated aldosterone synthesis.

Wir berichten über eine heute 34-jährige Frau, die im Alter von 6 Monaten wegen rezidivierendem Erbrechen hospitalisiert werden musste. Als Ursache fand sich eine Nebenniereninsuffizienz mit Verminderung sämtlicher Hormone der Steroidhormonbiosynthese. Die weiteren Abklärungen ergaben bei dem phänotypisch weiblichen Säugling eine lipoide kongenitale adrenale Hyperplasie mit 46,XY DSD. 24 Jahre später konnte in der DNS-Sequenzanalyse ein homozygoter, in der Schweiz vorkommender Basenaustausch des steroidogenic acute regulatory protein-Gens gefunden werden, welcher zu einem Aminosäurenaustausch Leucin 260 Prolin (L260P) führt.
