Numerous vitamin D3 analogs (VDAs) can inhibit the proliferation of cells from several types of human malignancies. The physiologically active form of vitamin D3, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(1,25D3), is formed by successive hydroxylations of cholecalciferol at the 25 and 1α positions. In this study we examined the effects of the absence of the 1α(OH) group, introduction of a double bond in position 16, and further modifications at the 23, 26, and 27 positions in the side chain on the potency of the VDAs. The parameters studied were the rapidity of the induction of monocytic differentiation, the cell cycle traverse, and the effects of VDAs on intracellular calcium homeostasis in HL60 cells. The results show that (1) 1,25D3 derivatives which lack the 1α(OH) group have little differentiation-inducing activity, (2) hexafluorination (6F) of the terminal methyl groups in the side chain partially restores the activity of 1α-desoxy compounds and potentiates the activity of 1α hydroxylated compounds, and (3) 25-(OH)-16,23E-diene-26,27-hexafluoro-vitamin D3 (Ro25-9887) alone among the twelve compounds tested induces differentiation with only minimal changes in the basal levels of intracellular calcium and store-dependent calcium influx in HL60 cells. Addition of 1α(OH) group to this compound increases its differentiation-inducing activity but also elevates basal calcium level. The results suggest that altered calcium homeostasis is not an obligatory component of HL60 leukemia cell differentiation, and that Ro25-9887 and related VDAs may be suitable for testing as components of anti-leukemic therapy. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

The actions of the hormonal form of vitamin D, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25-(OH)2D3], are mediated by both genomic and nongenomic mechanisms. Several vitamin D synthetic analogs have been developed in order to identify and characterize the site(s) of action of 1α,25-(OH)2D3 in many cell types including osteoblastic cells. We have compared the effects of 1α,25-(OH)2D3 and a novel 1α,25-(OH)2D3 bromoester analog (1,25-(OH)2-BE) that covalently binds to vitamin D receptors. Rat osteosarcoma cells that possess (ROS 17/2.8) or lack (ROS 24/1) the classic intracellular vitamin D receptor were studied to investigate genomic and nongenomic actions. In ROS 17/2.8 cells plated at low density, the two vitamin D compounds (1 × 10−8 M) caused increased cell proliferation, as assessed by DNA synthesis and total cell counts. Northern blot analysis revealed that the mitogenic effect of both agents was accompanied by an increase in steady-state osteocalcin mRNA levels, but neither agent altered alkaline phosphatase mRNA levels in ROS 17/2.8 cells. ROS 17/2.8 cells responded to 1,25-(OH)2-BE but not the natural ligand with a significant increase in osteocalcin secretion after 72, 96, 120, and 144 hr of treatment. Treatment of ROS 17/2.8 cells with the bromoester analog also resulted in a significant decrease in alkaline phosphatase-specific activity. To compare the nongenomic effects of 1α,25-(OH)2D3 and 1,25-(OH)2-BE, intracellular calcium was measured in ROS 24/1 cells loaded with the fluorescent calcium indicator Quin 2. At 2 × 10−8 M, both 1α,25-(OH)2D3 and 1,25-(OH)2-BE increased intracellular calcium within 5 min. Both the genomic and nongenomic actions of 1,25-(OH)2-BE are similar to those of 1α,25-(OH)2D3, and since 1,25-(OH)2-BE has more potent effects on osteoblast function than the naturally occurring ligand due to more stable binding, this novel vitamin D analog may be useful in elucidating the structure and function of cellular vitamin D receptors. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

The biologically active metabolite of vitamin D3, 1,25 (OH)2 D3, exerts important immunoregulatory effects in addition to being a central mediator of calcium/phosphate metabolism. Utilizing an interleukin 1 responsive murine T cell line and 125I-interleukin 1α, we show that 1,25 (OH)2 D3 (5,50 nM) enhanced 125I-interleukin 1α binding up to almost 2-fold over control. This 1,25 (OH)2 D3 effect occurred in a dose-dependent manner and was detectable after 24 h but not before 7 h of culture. Scatchard analysis of 125I-interleukin 1α binding data demonstrated that 1,25 (OH)2 D3 enhanced interleukin 1 receptor number without a significant change in affinity. The biologically less potent metabolite of vitamin D3, 25 (OH) D3, also augmented 125I-interleukin 1α binding but at steroid levels 2–3 log orders greater than 1,25 (OH)2 D3. This observation, combined with the presence of high-affinity 3H-1,25 (OH)2 D3 receptors (88 sites/cell, K = 0.45 nM) in cytosolic extracts, strongly suggests that the nuclear vitamin D receptor mediates this steroid's effect on interleukin 1 receptor expression. Based on the capacity of an anti-type 1 interleukin 1 receptor monoclonal antibody (35F5) to block 1,25 (OH)2 D3-enhanced 125I-interleukin 1α binding, we conclude that this steroid augments type 1 interleukin 1 receptor expression. When combined with interleukin 1, a cytokine that also impacts MD10 interleukin 1 receptor expression, 1,25 (OH)2 D3 enhanced interleukin 1 receptor expression. Northern blots hybridized with a 32P-type 1 interleukin 1 receptor cDNA probe show that 1,25 (OH)2 D3 enhanced type 1 interleukin 1 receptor steady state mRNA levels. Functionally, 1,25 (OH)2 D3 pretreatment augmented the MD10 proliferative response to suboptimal levels of interleukin 1 (< 100 fM interleukin 1α). These findings further support 1,25 (OH)2 D3's role as an immunoregulatory molecule and provides a possible mechanism by which this steroid could potentiate certain immune activities.  相似文献

The calcium-regulating hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3[1,25(OH)2D3] is recognized as an immuno-modulator affecting the activities of macrophages and lymphocytes. We have shown that macrophages harvested from vitamin D–deficient mice (–D MPs) exhibit impaired phagocytic and tumoricidal activities as compared with control cells (+D MPs), and that bone marrow–derived macrophage (BMDM) differentiation is modulated by 1,25(OH)2D3. The release of tumor necrosis factor–α (TNF-α) by macrophages is considered a major mechanism by which these cells exert their tumoricidal function. This cytokine was also implicated in modulation of bone resorption. In the present study we examine the role of 1,25(OH)2D3 in TNF-α synthesis and release. BMDMs were harvested from +D and ?D mice, cultured in vitro, and their conditioned media were analyzed for the presence of TNF-α. BMDMs did not release measurable amounts of TNF-α without stimulation. Addition of endotoxin (LPS) to the cultures resulted in a marked stimulation of TNF-α release. 1,25(OH)2D3 increased the stimulatory action of LPS, but failed to elicit a stimulatory effect in the absence of LPS. The use of another macrophage activator, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), yielded essentially similar results. +D and ?D mice were injected with LPS and TNF-α levels in the serum were measured. A marked reduction (~ fourfold) in the TNF-α levels was observed in the serum of ?D mice as compared with +D mice. Western blot and immunoprecipitation analyses suggested that the main effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 is on TNF-α synthesis. Our findings suggest that 1,25(OH)2D3 plays a role in the regulation of TNF-α secretion by mononuclear phagocytes. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Structure-functional characterization of vitamin D receptor (VDR) requires identification of structurally distinct areas of VDR-ligand-binding domain (VDR-LBD) important for biological properties of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). We hypothesized that covalent attachment of the ligand into VDR-LBD might alter ‘surface structure’ of that area influencing biological activity of the ligand. We compared anti-proliferative activity of three affinity alkylating derivatives of 1,25(OH)2D3 containing an alkylating probe at 1,3 and 11 positions. These compounds possessed high-affinity binding for VDR; and affinity labeled VDR-LBD. But, only the analog with probe at 3-position significantly altered growth in keratinocytes, compared with 1,25(OH)2D3. Molecular models of these analogs, docked inside VDR-LBD tentatively identified Ser237 (helix-3: 1,25(OH)2D3-1-BE), Cys288 (β-hairpin region: 1,25(OH)2D3-3-BE,) and Tyr295 (helix-6: 1,25(OH)2D3-11-BE,) as amino acids that are potentially modified by these reagents. Therefore, we conclude that the β-hairpin region (modified by 1,25(OH)2D3-3-BE) is most important for growth inhibition by 1,25(OH)2D3, while helices 3 and 6 are less important for such activity.  相似文献

Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 is a major fibrinolytic inhibitor. High PAI-1 is associated with increased renal and cardiovascular disease risk. Previous studies demonstrated PAI-1 down-regulation by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), but the molecular mechanism remains unknown. Here we show that exposure of mouse embryonic fibroblasts to TNFα or LPS led to a marked induction of PAI-1, which was blunted by 1,25(OH)2D3, NF-κB inhibitor or p65 siRNA, suggesting the involvement of NF-κB in 1,25(OH)2D3-induced repression. In mouse Pai-1 promoter a putative cis-κB element was identified at −299. EMSA and ChIP assays showed that TNF-α increased p50/p65 binding to this κB site, which was disrupted by 1,25(OH)2D3. Luciferase reporter assays showed that PAI-1 promoter activity was induced by TNFα or LPS, and the induction was blocked by 1,25(OH)2D3. Mutation of the κB site blunted TNFα, LPS or 1,25(OH)2D3 effects. 1,25(OH)2D3 blocked IκBα degradation and arrested p50/p65 nuclear translocation. In mice LPS stimulated PAI-1 expression in the heart and macrophages, and the stimulation was blunted by pre-treatment with a vitamin D analog. Together these data demonstrate that 1,25(OH)2D3 down-regulates PAI-1 by blocking NF-κB activation. Inhibition of PAI-1 production may contribute to the reno- and cardio-protective effects of vitamin D.  相似文献

1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3, also known as calcitriol), the active form of vitamin D3, is being increasingly recognized for cancer therapy. Our previous work showed that phenyl-pyrrolyl pentane analogs, which mimicked anti-proliferative activities against several cancer cell lines of the natural secosteroidal ligand 1,25-(OH)2D3. Here, in order to optimize the structural features and discover more potent derivative, a series of nonsecosteroidal vitamin D3 receptor (VDR) ligands bearing acetylene bond linker was designed, synthesized and evaluated. Most of them showed moderate to good binding affinities and agonistic activities. Especially, compound 19f displayed the most anti-proliferative activities against MCF-7 and PC-3 cells with the IC50 values of 1.80 and 5.35 μM, respectively, which was comparable to positive control 1,25-(OH)2D3. Moreover, compound 19f exhibited reduced toxicity against human normal liver cell line (L02) compared with the parental compound 7. Besides, the preliminary structure–activity relationships (SARs) were also analyzed.  相似文献

1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] phosphorylates the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, within 30 sec in primary cultured chick skeletal muscle cells. MAPK of HeLa cell lines, which had been stably transfected with a cDNA library derived from mRNA of chick skeletal muscle cells, was also rapidly phosphorylated by 1,25-(OH)2D3. These cell lines have the potential to be a good tool for further investigation of rapid non-genomic mechanism activated by 1,25-(OH)2D3.  相似文献

Summary Agents that increase intracellular cAMP (cAMP elevating agents) and 1,25(OH)2D3 inhibit the proliferation of many cell types. We investigated the combined effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 and cAMP elevating agents on exponentially growing mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. The following cAMP elevating agents were used: theophylline and pentoxyfilline, which inhibit cAMP-dependent phosphodiesterase; prostaglandin E2 which activates adenylate cyclase by a receptor-mediated mechanism; forskolin, which directly stimulates adenylate cyclase; and the cell permeable cAMP analogs 8-bromo cAMP and N6 benzoyl cAMP. 1,25(OH)2D3 and cAMP elevating agents were added to exponentially growing fibroblasts cultured in 96-well microtiter plates and cell number was monitored 3–7 d later. 1,25(OH)2D3 and the cAMP elevating agents as single agents inhibited the growth of the 3T3 cells. The combined treatment of the fibroblasts with 1,25(OH)2D3 and the cAMP elevating agents resulted in an antiproliferative effect that was more than additive. The synergistic interaction depended on the dose of 1,25(OH)2D3 and was apparent already at 10−8 M of the hormone. The specificity of the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 was demonstrated by the finding that 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, a vitamin D metabolite with low affinity for the vitamin D receptor, did not affect the antiproliferative effect of cAMP elevating agents. From the synergistic interaction between 1,25(OH)2D3 and the cell permeable cAMP analogs, we infer that the site of interaction between the two signaling pathways is distal to the cAMP generating and degrading machinery.  相似文献

The active form of vitamin D, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), can suppress disease in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of multiple sclerosis. Calcium appears to be a critical component of 1,25(OH)2D3-mediated suppression of EAE, as complete disease prevention only occurs with a concomitant increase in serum calcium levels. Calcitonin (CT) is a peptide hormone released in response to acute increases in serum calcium, which led us to explore its importance in 1,25(OH)2D3-mediated suppression of EAE. Previously, we discovered that co-administration of pharmacological doses of CT enhanced the suppressive effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on EAE, suggesting CT may play a role in 1,25(OH)2D3-mediated suppression of EAE. To determine the importance of CT in EAE we have utilized a mouse strain in which the gene encoding CT and its alternative splice product, calcitonin gene related peptide-α (CGRP), have been deleted. Deletion of the CT/CGRP gene had no effect on EAE progression. Furthermore, treatment with 1,25(OH)2D3 suppressed EAE in CT/CGRP knock-out mice equal to that in wild type mice. Therefore, we conclude that CT is not necessary for 1,25(OH)2D3-mediated suppression of EAE.  相似文献

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] receptor was characterized after partial purification of thymus cytosol by ammonium sulfate fractionation. The 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor sediments at 3.7S in 5–20% sucrose gradients. The binding of 1,25-(OH)2D3 in thymic cytosol was a saturable process with high affinity (Kd = 0.12?0.48 nM) at 4°C. Competition for 1,25-(OH)2[3H]D3 receptor by nonradioactive analogs demonstrated the affinities of these analogs to be in order; 1,25-(OH)2D3 = 1,24R,25-(OH)3D3 = 1,25S,26-(OH)3D3 = 1,25R,26-(OH)3D3 > 1,25-(OH)2D3-26,23 lactone > 25-OHD3 > 23R,25-(OH)2D3 > 24R,25-(OH)2D3 > 23S,25-(OH)2D3 ? 25-OHD3-26,23 lactone. The receptor bound to DNA cellulose columns in low salt buffer and eluted as a single peak at 0.21 M KCl. These findings provide evidence that the thymus possesses a 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor with properties indistinguishable from 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptors in other tissues.  相似文献

The active form of vitamin D, 1α,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D) inhibits the growth of prostate epithelial cells, however the underlying mechanisms have not been clearly delineated. In the current study, the impact of 1,25(OH)2D on the rapid activation of extracellular‐regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 and protein kinase C α (PKCα), and the role of these pathways in growth inhibition was examined in immortalized mouse prostate epithelial cells, MPEC3, that exhibit stem/progenitor cell characteristics. 1,25(OH)2D treatment suppressed the growth of MPEC3 in a dose and time dependent manner (e.g., 21% reduction at three days with 100 nM 1,25(OH)2D treatment). However, ERK1/2 activity was not altered by 100 nM 1,25(OH)2D treatment for time points from 1 min to 1 h in either serum‐containing or serum‐free medium. Similarly, PKCα activation (translocation onto the plasma membrane) was not regulated by short‐term treatment of 100 nM 1,25(OH)2D. In conclusion, 1,25(OH)2D did not mediate rapid activation of ERK1/2 or PKCα in MPEC3 and therefore the growth inhibitory effect of 1,25(OH)2D is independent of rapid activation of these signaling pathways in this cell type.

1,25(OH)2D3, the active metabolite of vitamin D3, its activity is not limited to mineral and skeletal homeostasis. In recent years, there has been increasing evidence pointing to the role of its activity in the regulation of cell proliferation, cell differentiation and immunomodulation. Here we report lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a glycolipid that is produced and secreted by gram-negative bacteria during peritonitis, plus high glucose (HG) can significantly inhibit mesothelial cell viability while induce more apoptosis in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (RPMC). Pretreatment with 1,25(OH)2D3 can reverse the above effect in a concentration dependent manner. HG plus LPS can down-regulate the levels of both mRNA and protein of VDR, and up-regulate the expression of TGF-β1 and TNF-α in RPMC, which can also be effectively reversed by pretreatment with 1,25(OH)2D3. The above results suggest that HG plus LPS may induce changes in RPMC’s viability and apoptosis, leading to peritoneal injury. 1,25(OH)2D3 can reverse the inhibition of cell viability, the increase of apoptotic rate and induction of fibrosis related cytokine TGF-β1 and TNF-α by HG plus LPS in RPMC, thus protect peritoneal membrane.  相似文献

Regulation of the CAMP gene by 1,25(OH)2D3 in various tissues   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The induction of antimicrobial peptides such as the human cathelicidin, CAMP/hCAP18, by 1,25(OH)2D3 provides a very exciting therapeutic approach in boosting immunity against infectious diseases. To explore the range of cell types and expand the number of cell models for studying the regulation of CAMP gene expression by 1,25(OH)2D3, we treated cell lines from various tissue types and determined CAMP gene expression. Also, we tested additional compounds together with 1,25(OH)2D3 to look for possible cooperative activation of the gene. We identified 1,25(OH)2D3-mediated induction of the CAMP gene in B-cell lymphomas, prostate and endometrial cancer lines and found cooperative activation with the histone deacetylase inhibitor sodium butyrate. The data suggest that regulation of CAMP by 1,25(OH)2D3 is potentially important in a wide range of tissues.  相似文献

In addition to classical roles in calcium homeostasis and bone development, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] inhibits the growth of several cancer types, including breast cancer. Although cellular effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 traditionally have been attributed to activation of a nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR), a novel receptor for 1,25(OH)2D3 called 1,25D3-MARRS (membrane-associated, rapid response steroid-binding) protein was identified recently. The purpose of this study was to determine if the level of 1,25D3-MARRS expression modulates 1,25(OH)2D3 activity in breast cancer cells.Relative levels of 1,25D3-MARRS protein in MCF-7, MDA MB 231, and MCF-10A cells were estimated by real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting. To determine if 1,25D3-MARRS receptor was involved in the growth inhibitory effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 in MCF-7 cells, a ribozyme construct designed to knock down 1,25D3-MARRS mRNA was stably transfected into MCF-7 cells. MCF-7 clones in which 1,25D3-MARRS receptor expression was reduced showed increased sensitivity to 1,25(OH)2D3 ( IC50 56 ± 24 nM) compared to controls (319 ± 181 nM; P < 0.05). Reduction in 1,25D3-MARRS receptor lengthened the doubling time in transfectants treated with 1,25(OH)2D3. Knockdown of 1,25D3-MARRS receptor also increased the sensitivity of MCF-7 cells to the vitamin D analogs KH1060 and MC903, but not to unrelated agents (all-trans retinoic acid, paclitaxel, serum/glucose starvation, or the isoflavone, pomiferin). These results suggest that 1,25D3-MARRS receptor expression interferes with the growth inhibitory activity of 1,25(OH)2D3 in breast cancer cells, possibly through the nuclear VDR. Further research should examine the potential for pharmacological or natural agents that modify 1,25D3-MARRS expression or activity as anticancer agents.  相似文献

Prior studies have shown that vitamin D regulation of protein kinase C activity (PKC) in the cell layer of chondrocyte cultures is cell maturation-dependent. In the present study, we examined the membrane distribution of PKC and whether 1α,25-(OH)2D3 and 24R,25-(OH)2D3 can directly regulate enzyme activity in isolated plasma membranes and extracellular matrix vesicles. Matrix vesicle PKC was activated by bryostatin-1 and inhibited by a PKC-specific pseudosubstrate inhibitor peptide. Depletion of membrane PKC activity using isoform-specific anti-PKC antibodies suggested that PKCα is the major isoform in cell layer lysates as well as in plasma membranes isolated from both cell types; PKCζ is the predominant form in matrix vesicles. This was confirmed in Western blots of immunoprecipitates as well as in studies using control peptides to block binding of the isoform specific antibody to the enzyme and using a PKCζ-specific pseudosubstrate inhibitor peptide. The presence of PKCζ in matrix vesicles was further verified by immunoelectron microscopy. Enzyme activity in the matrix vesicle was insensitive to exogenous lipid, whereas that in the plasma membrane required lipid for full activity. 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3 inhibited matrix vesicle PKC, but stimulated plasma membrane PKC when added directly to the isolated membrane fractions. PKC activity in the matrix vesicle was calcium-independent, whereas that in the plasma membrane required calcium. Moreover, the vitamin D-sensitive PKC in matrix vesicles was not dependent on calcium, whereas the vitamin D-sensitive enzyme in plasma membranes was calcium-dependent. It is concluded that PKC isoforms are differentially distributed between matrix vesicles and plasma membranes and that enzyme activity is regulated in a membrane-specific manner. This suggests the existence of a nongenomic mechanism whereby the effects of 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3 may be mediated via PKC. Further, PKCζ may be important in nongenomic, autocrine signal transduction at sites distal from the cell. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

This paper reports the development of three new ternary solvent mixtures for the liquid-chromatographic separation of metabolites of vitamin D on microparticulate silica. All solvent systems offer reduced peak tailing and improved resolution of vitamin D compounds, particularly of 24(R),25-(OH)2D3, when compared to the commonly used hexane—isopropanol mixture. The new mixtures can be substituted for hexane—isopropanol systems presently used for preparative liquid-chromatographic steps prior to radioimmunoassay or competitive protein-binding assay of 24,25-(OH)2D and 1,25-(OH)2D in human plasma. Hexane—isopropanol—methanol (87:10:3) mixtures are recommended where the lipid content of samples is high, whereas hexane—ethanol—chloroform (80:10:10) promises to be a useful mixture for differentiating vitamin D3 metabolites from their vitamin D2 analogs. A combination of the two solvent systems permits the separate assay of both 24(R),25-(OH)2D3 and 24(R),25-(OH)2D2 as well as 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 1,25-(OH)2D2.  相似文献

1,25-(OH)2D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3 mediate their effects on chondrocytes through the classic vitamin D receptor (VDR) as well as through rapid membrane-mediated mechanisms which result in both nongenomic and genomic effects. In intact cells, it is difficult to distinguish between genomic responses via the VDR and genomic and nongenomic responses via membrane-mediated pathways. In this study, we used two hybrid analogues of 1,25-(OH)2D3 which have been modified on the A-ring and C,D-ring side chain (1α-(hydroxymethyl)-3β-hydroxy-20-epi-22-oxa-26,27-dihomo vitamin D3 (analogue MCW-YA = 3a) and 1β-(hydroxymethyl)-3α-hydroxy-20-epi-22-oxa-26,27-dihomo vitamin D3 (analogue MCW-YB = 3b) to examine the role of the VDR in response of rat costochondral resting zone (RC) and growth zone (GC) chondrocytes to 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3. These hybrid analogues are only 0.1% as effective in binding to the VDR from calf thymus as 1,25-(OH)2D3. Chondrocyte proliferation ([3H]-thymidine incorporation), proteoglycan production ([35S]-sulfate incorporation), and activity of protein kinase C (PKC) were measured after treatment with 1,25-(OH)2D3, 24,25-(OH)2D3, or the analogues. Both analogues inhibited proliferation of both cell types, as did 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3. Analogue 3a had no effect on proteoglycan production by GCs but increased that by RCs. Analogue 3b increased proteoglycan production in both GC and RC cultures. Both analogues stimulated PKC in GC cells; however, neither 3a nor 3b had an effect on PKC activity in RC cells. 1,25-(OH)2D3 and 3a decreased PKC in matrix vesicles from GC cultures, whereas plasma membrane PKC activity was increased, with 1,25-(OH)2D3 having a greater effect. 24,25-(OH)2D3 caused a significant decrease in PKC activity in matrix vesicles from RC cultures; 24,25-(OH)2D3, 3a, and 3b increased PKC activity in the plasma membrane fraction, however. Thus, with little or no binding to calf thymus VDR, 3a and 3b can affect cell proliferation, proteoglycan production, and PKC activity. The direct membrane effect is analogue-specific and cell maturation–dependent. By studying analogues with greatly reduced affinity for the VDR, we have provided further evidence for the existence of a membrane receptor(s) involved in mediating nongenomic effects of vitamin D metabolites.

In the present investigation we studied the metabolism of 1α,25-dihydroxy-[1β-3H] vitamin D3 (3H-1,25(OH)2D3) in culture-grown human keratinocytes (CHK). Our results showed that the cellular uptake of 3H-1,25(OH)2D3, upon incubation with CHK, occurred very rapidly; and it paralleled a decrease in the concentration of 3H-1,25(OH)2D3 in the medium. The amount of 3H-calcitroic acid, on the other hand, increased slowly in the medium, while the concentration of 3H-calcitroic acid in the cell remained undetectable during the whole period of incubation. When the cells were preincubated with 1,25(OH)2D3 (10?8M), conversion of 3H-1,25(OH)2D3 to 3H-calcitroic acid increased almost twofold, indicating that 1,25(OH)2D3 catalyzed its own catabolism. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献
