Steroid sulphatase is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of bioactive estrogens and androgens from highly abundant inactive circulating sulphated steroid precursors. Little is known about how the expression/activity of this enzyme is regulated. In this article, we show that of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 stimulates an increase steroid sulphatase activity in the HL60 myeloid leukaemic cell line that is inhibited by a specific nuclear VDR (VDRnuc) antagonist and unaffected by plasma membrane-associated vitamin D receptor (VDRmem) agonists and antagonists. 1alpha,25(OH)2D3-mediated up-regulation of steroid sulphatase activity in HL60 cells was augmented by RXR agonists, blocked by RXR-specific antagonists, and RAR specific agonists and antagonists had no effect. In contrast, the 1alpha,25(OH)2D3-mediated up-regulation of steroid sulphatase activity in the NB4 myeloid leukaemic cell line was unaffected by the specific VDRnuc and RXR antagonists, but was blocked by a VDRmem-specific antagonist and was increased by VDRmem-specific agonists. The findings reveal that VDRnuc-RXR-heterodimers play a key role in the 1alpha,25(OH)2D3-mediated up-regulation of steroid sulphatase activity in HL60 cells. However, in NB4 cells, VDRnuc-derived signals do not play an obligatory role, and non-genomic VDRmem-derived signals are important. 相似文献

Recent literature highlights the importance of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the biology of breast cancer stem cells (CSCs), unraveling differences with respect to their normal counterparts. Expansion of mammospheres (MS) is a valuable tool for the in vitro study of normal and cancer mammary gland stem cells. Here, we expanded MSs from human breast cancer and normal mammary gland tissues, as well from tumorigenic (MCF7) and non-tumorigenic (MCF10) breast cell lines. We observed that agonists for the retinoid X receptor (6-OH-11-O-hydroxyphenanthrene), retinoic acid receptor (all-trans retinoic acid (RA)) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ (pioglitazone (PGZ)), reduce the survival of MS generated from breast cancer tissues and MCF7 cells, but not from normal mammary gland or MCF10 cells. This phenomenon is paralleled by the hampering of pro-inflammatory Nuclear Factor-κB (NF-κB)/Interleukin-6 (IL6) axis that is hyperactive in breast cancer-derived MS. The hindrance of such pathway associates with the downregulation of MS regulatory genes (SLUG, Notch3, Jagged1) and with the upregulation of the differentiation markers estrogen receptor-α and keratin18. At variance, the PPARα agonist Wy14643 promotes MS formation, upregulating NF-κB/IL6 axis and MS regulatory genes. These data reveal that nuclear receptors agonists (6-OH-11-O-hydroxyphenanthrene, RA, PGZ) reduce the inflammation dependent survival of breast CSCs and that PPARα agonist Wy14643 exerts opposite effects on this phenotype. 相似文献

More than 2,000 synthetic analogues of the biological active form of vitamin D, 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)), are presently known. Basically, all of them interfere with the molecular switch of nuclear 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) signaling, which is the complex of the vitamin D receptor (VDR), the retinoid X receptor (RXR), and a 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) response element (VDRE). Central element of this molecular switch is the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the VDR, which can be stabilized by a 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) analogue either in its agonistic, antagonistic, or non-agonistic conformation. The positioning of helix 12 of the LBD is of most critical importance for these conformations. In each of the three conformations, the VDR performs different protein-protein interactions, which then result in a characteristic functional profile. Most 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) analogues have been identified as agonists, a few are antagonists (e.g., ZK159222 and TEI-9647), and only Gemini and some of its derivatives act under restricted conditions as non-agonists. The functional profile of some 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) analogues, such as EB1089 and Gemini, can be modulated by protein and DNA interaction partners of the VDR. This provides them with some selectivity for DNA-dependent and -independent signaling pathways and VDRE structures. 相似文献

Parathyroid hypertensive factor (PHF) is a novel substance secreted by the parathyroid gland (PTG), which is elevated in 30-40% of all hypertensive patients; specifically, the low-renin subset. However, very little is known about the regulation of PHF secretion. Since the classical parathyroid regulator, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3), may be elevated concurrent with or preceding the development of low-renin hypertension and elevated plasma PHF, we hypothesized that 1,25-(OH)2D3 would stimulate PHF release. To test this hypothesis, PTG organ and cell cultures, derived from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and the normotensive genetic control Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats, were exposed to various vitamin D3 metabolites and PHF release measured by ELISA. 1,25-(OH)2D3 rapidly stimulated PHF release with enhanced sensitivity in SHR versus WKY cultures indicated by a leftward shift in the dose-response curve, whereas 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25-(OH)2D3) had the converse effect. Vitamin D3 analog \"BT,\" an agonist for the classical nuclear vitamin D receptor (1,25VDR(nuc)), was without effect suggesting a 1,25VDR(nuc)-independent mechanism and potential involvement of the plasma membrane-bound vitamin D receptor (1,25 D3-MARRS). Interestingly, protein expression of the 1,25 D3-MARRS was increased in SHR versus WKY parathyroid cells. In conclusion, these results support the idea that 1,25-(OH)2D3 may contribute to elevated plasma PHF in the SHR. 相似文献

The liver X receptor, LXRα, is an important regulator of genes involved in metabolism and inflammation. The mechanism of communication between the cofactor peptide and the ligand in the ligand-binding pocket is a crucial and often discussed issue for the nuclear receptors (NRs), but such allosteric signaling pathways are difficult to detect and the transmission mechanism remains elusive. Here, we apply the anisotropic thermal diffusion method to the LXRα with bound coactivator and ligand. We detected a possible communication pathway between the coactivator peptide and the ligand. The signal is transmitted both through the receptor backbone and side chains. A key signaling residue is the first leucine in the cofactor peptide recognition motif LXXLL, which is conserved within the NR cofactors, suggesting a general mechanism for allosteric signaling. Furthermore, we studied the LXR receptor and cofactor molecular interactions in detail using molecular dynamics simulations. The protein-protein interaction patterns in the complexes of nine different cofactor peptides and holo-LXRα were characterized, revealing the importance of the receptor-cofactor charge clamp interaction. Specific, but infrequently occurring interactions were observed toward the cofactor peptide C-terminal residues. Thus, additional specificity between LXRα and its cofactors is likely to be found in molecular interactions outside the cofactor peptide or in other biological factors. 相似文献

In this report we describe that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-3-BE, a VDR-affinity labeling analog of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), showed strong and dose-dependent growth-inhibitory effect in several epithelial cells, i.e., keratinocytes (primary cells), MCF-7 breast cancer, PC-3, and LNCaP prostate cancer and PZ-HPV-7 immortalized normal prostate cell-lines. Furthermore, 10(-6) M of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-3-BE induced apoptosis specifically in LNCaP and PC-3 cells; and the effect was much less pronounced at lower doses. We also showed that the effect (of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-3-BE) was not due to probable degradation (hydrolysis) of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-3-BE or random interaction of this molecule with cellular proteins. Tissue- or cell-specific action of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and its mimics is not common due to the ubiquitous nature of VDR. Furthermore, variable effects of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and its analogs in various cell-lines potentially limits their application as anticancer agents. We showed that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-3-BE displayed similar growth-inhibitory and cytotoxic activities towards androgen sensitive LNCaP and androgen-independent PC-3 cell-lines. Therefore, these results raise the possibility that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-3-BE or similar VDR-cross linking analogs of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) might be considered for further development as potential candidates for prostate cancer. 相似文献
