Pro-inflammatory cytokine induction of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 in A549 cells requires phosphorylation of C/EBPβ at Thr235.

11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) converts inert glucocorticoids into active forms, thereby increasing intracellular glucocorticoid levels, important to restrain acute inflammation. 11β-HSD1 is induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines in a variety of cells. Here, we show 11β-HSD1 expre...
