The effect of vitamin D3 status upon the responsiveness of chick intestinal epithelium to exogenous 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] was studied. Intestinal calbindin [A recent consensus decision was made to redesignate the vitamin D-dependent calcium binding protein as "calbindin-D28K" (R.H. Wasserman (1985) in Vitamin D: Chemical, Biochemical, and Clinical Update (Norman, A.W., Schaefer, K., Grigoleit, H.-G., and Herrath, D.V., Eds.), pp. 321-322, de Gruyter, Berlin/New York).] protein and intestinal calbindin mRNA were quantitated in birds which had been raised on a vitamin D3-deplete (-D) or on a vitamin D3-replete (+D) diet. 1,25(OH)2D3 stimulated intestinal calbindin mRNA levels in -D chickens in a proportional dose-dependent manner, when measured at both 12 and 48 h after administration of the hormone. A first increase was observed with 1,25(OH)2D3 concentrations between 0.065 and 0.65 nmol. The maximal stimulation achieved by 1,25(OH)2D3 (6.5-18 nmol) in -D tissue was approximately 10-fold over the calbindin mRNA levels present in vehicle-treated birds. The increase of calbindin mRNA in -D birds was associated with a similar dose-dependent increase in calbindin protein in 1,25(OH)2D3-treated -D birds after 12 or 48 h. In +D intestine, while exogenous 1,25(OH)2D3 also increased calbindin mRNA levels in a dose-dependent fashion, the maximal stimulation observed after 5 h (1.2- to 2-fold) was clearly less than that observed in -D intestine. In contrast to -D birds, intestinal calbindin levels in +D birds were decreased by administration of exogenous 1,25(OH)2D3. Administration of 32.5 to 65 nmol 1,25(OH)2D3 resulted in an approximately 1.8-fold repression compared to vehicle-treated birds. This differential responsiveness between +D and -D intestines with respect to 1,25(OH)2D3 was not explained either by differences in the uptake in the chromatin fractions of these tissues or by metabolism of radiolabeled 1,25(OH)2D3. Dietary withdrawal of vitamin D3 led to a gradual decline in ambient intestinal calbindin levels, while intestinal sensitivity to 1,25(OH)2D3 was restored. These findings suggest that vitamin D3 status regulates intestinal responsiveness to the seco-steroid 1,25(OH)2D3.  相似文献

We have used specific cDNAs to the rat vitamin D receptor (VDR) and to the mammalian vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding proteins (calbindin-D9k in intestine and calbindin-D28k in kidney) in order to obtain a better understanding of the regulation of the VDR gene and its relationship to calbindin gene expression. Hormonal regulation and development expression of the rat VDR gene were characterized by both Northern and slot blot analyses. Administration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3; 25 ng/day for 7 days) to vitamin D-deficient rats resulted in an increase in calbindin mRNA in intestine and kidney but no change in VDR mRNA in these tissues. Vitamin D-deficient rats responded to dexamethasone treatment (100 micrograms/100 g of body weight/day for 4 days) with a 2.5-fold increase in intestinal VDR mRNA which was accompanied by a 4-fold decrease in intestinal calbindin-D9k mRNA. Developmental studies indicated a pronounced increase in renal VDR mRNA and calbindin-D28k mRNA between birth and 1 week of age. In the intestine, an induction of VDR and calbindin-D9k gene expression was observed at a later time, during the 3rd postnatal week (the period of increased duodenal active transport of calcium). Taken collectively, our data indicate that in the adult rat, target tissue response to hormone is not modified by a corresponding alteration in new receptor synthesis. However, developmental studies indicate that the induction of 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor mRNA is correlated with the induction of calbindin gene expression. Our results also demonstrate that glucocorticoid administration can result in an alteration in intestinal calbindin and VDR gene expression.  相似文献

Quantitative methods of in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry have been used to measure 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) induction of calbindin mRNA and calbindin protein expressed in jejunal enterocytes at all points along the crypt-villus axis over a 24 h period. Small amounts of calbindin mRNA detected in vitamin D3 deficient (D-deficient) chick intestine increased rapidly to maximal values 8 h after hormone injection. The magnitude of this response was inversely related to age of enterocyte measured separately by injecting tritiated thymidine into D-deficient and 1,25(OH)2D3-injected birds. Enterocytes of all ages expressed small amounts of calbindin 3 h after hormone injection. This amount of calbindin then increased up to 24 h after hormone injection. Maximal calbindin expression took place in basal villus enterocytes. Later decrease in the ability of upper villus enterocytes to express calbindin was associated with a similar fall in calbindin mRNA expression. Previously it was suggested that inefficient translation to calbindin mRNA might take place in basal villus enterocytes 48 h after vitamin D injection. Present work using 1,25 (OH)2D3 shows that calbindin expression takes place at a constant rate during this early stage of enterocyte development. Secondary events limiting higher rates of calbindin synthesis in upper crypt and basal villus enterocytes remain to be identified.  相似文献

We have used a specific cDNA to the mammalian 28,000 Mr vitamin D-dependent calcium binding protein (calbindin-D28k) to study the regulation of the expression of this mRNA in rat kidney and brain. The effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) and dietary alteration on genomic expression were characterized by both Northern and slot blot analysis. Administration of 1,25-(OH)2D3 for 7 days (25 ng/day) to vitamin D-deficient rats resulted in a marked increase in renal calbindin-DmRNA, renal calbindin, and serum calcium. When vitamin D-deficient rats were supplemented for 10 days with calcium (3% calcium gluconate in the water, 2% calcium in the diet) serum calcium levels were similar to the levels observed in the 1,25-(OH)2D3-treated rats. However, in the calcium-supplemented rats the levels of renal calbindin and renal calbindin mRNA were similar to the levels observed in the vitamin D-deficient rats, suggesting that calcium alone without vitamin D does not regulate renal calbindin gene expression in vivo. In dietary alteration studies in vitamin D-replete rats, renal calbindin protein and mRNA increased 2.5-fold in rats fed diets low in phosphate providing evidence that in the rat the nutritional induction of calbindin is accompanied by a corresponding alteration in the concentration of its specific mRNA. Under low dietary calcium conditions, the levels of renal calbindin protein and mRNA were similar to the levels observed in control rats, although 1,25-(OH)2D3 serum levels were markedly elevated, suggesting that factors in addition to 1,25-(OH)2D3 can modulate renal calbindin gene expression.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Hens forming uncalcified shells synthesized less 1,25-hydroxycholecalciferol (1,25(OH)2D3) and less duodenal and eggshell gland (ESG) calbindin than normal laying hens. Hens forming thin shells had lower intestinal and ESG calbindin and its mRNA. Reducing ESG calcium (Ca2+) transport by the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide, but not by dietary Ca2+ restriction, reduced ESG calbindin and its mRNA. Two sub-populations of hens characterized by shell thickness (ST) maintained this characteristic throughout the whole production period. The differences between the two sub-populations increased with age. In old laying hens, the two sub-populations responded differently to dietary Ca2+ restriction and to exogenous 1,25(OH)2D3. Those forming a thin shell responded to 1,25(OH)2D3 by a significant improvement in ST. The results suggest that: (a) the mechanism responsible for Ca2+ transport to the egg shell consists of a vitamin D-dependent absorption of Ca2+ and a multi-factor-dependent transfer of Ca2+ to the shell; (b) both steps are, most likely, calbindin-mediated; however, the induction of calbindin gene expression in the ESG is predominantly calcium-dependent; and (c) the apparent defect in vitamin D metabolism or its expression in old hens is typical of, or even exclusive, to thin-shell-forming hens.  相似文献

Microarray technology has been used to discover 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)) induced gene expression changes in rat small intestine in vivo. Here, we report gene expression changes related to intestinal absorption or transport, the immune system and angiogenesis in response to 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3). Vitamin D deficient rats were intrajugularly given vehicle or vehicle containing 730 ng of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)/kg of body weight. Intestinal mRNA was harvested from duodenal mucosa at 15 min, 1, 3, and 6 h post-injection and studied by Affymetrix microarrays. Genes significantly affected by 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) were confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR with remarkable agreement. The most strongly affected gene in intestine was CYP24 with 97-fold increase at 6 h post-1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) treatment. Intestinal calcium absorption genes: TRPV5, TRPV6, calbindin D(9k), and Ca(2+) dependent ATPase all were up-regulated in response to 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3), supporting the currently accepted mechanism of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) induced transcellular calcium transport. However, a 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) suppression of several intra-/intercellular matrix modeling proteins such as sodium/potassium ATPase, claudin 3, aquaporin 8, cadherin 17, and RhoA suggests a vitamin D regulation of tight junction permeability and paracellular calcium transport. Several other genes related to the immune system and angiogenesis whose expression was changed in response to 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) provided evidence for an immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenic role of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3).  相似文献

Transepithelial transport of calcium involves uptake at the apical membrane, movement across the cell, and extrusion at the basolateral membrane. Active vitamin D metabolites regulate the latter two processes by induction of calbindin D and the plasma membrane ATPase (calcium pump), respectively. The expression of calbindin D and the calcium pump declines with age in parallel with transepithelial calcium transport. The apical uptake of calcium is thought to be mediated by the recently cloned calcium channels-CaT1 (or ECaC2, TRPV6) and CaT2 (or ECaC1, TRPV5). The purpose of these studies was to determine whether there were age-related changes in intestinal calcium channel regulation and to identify the dietary factors responsible for their regulation. Young (2 months) and adult (12 months) rats were fed either a high calcium or low calcium diet for 4 weeks. The low calcium diet significantly increased duodenal CaT1 and CaT2 mRNA levels in both age groups, but the levels in the adult were less than half that of the young. The changes in calcium channel expression with age and diet were significantly correlated with duodenal calcium transport and with calbindin D levels. To elucidate the relative roles of serum 1,25(OH)2D3 and calcium in the regulation of calcium channel expression, young rats were fed diets containing varying amounts of calcium and vitamin D. Dietary vitamin D or exogenous 1,25(OH)2D3 more than doubled CaT1 mRNA levels, and this regulation was independent of dietary or serum calcium. These findings suggest that the apical calcium channels, along with calbindin and the calcium pump, may play a role in intestinal calcium transport and its modulation by age, dietary calcium, and 1,25(OH)2D3.  相似文献

In situ hybridization and immunocytochemical techniques have been used to examine the distribution of vitamin-D-induced calbindin mRNA and calbindin protein in enterocytes lining the crypts and villi of chicken small intestine. Basal villus enterocytes contained approximately twice as much calbindin but over three times as much calbindin mRNA compared to values found in basal crypt and upper villus enterocytes, all values being measured 2 days after vitamin D injection into D-deficient chickens. Virtually no calbindin mRNA was detected in tissues taken from control D-deficient birds. Direct proportionality found between calbindin mRNA and calbindin content in enterocytes of basal crypt, mid and upper villus suggests pre-translational control over calbindin synthesis. The implications of possible inefficient translation of calbindin mRNA in basal villus enterocytes are discussed. Present methods of analysis provide a novel way to study mechanisms controlling gene expression throughout the whole process of enterocyte differentiation.  相似文献

The effect of vitamin D status on levels of the putative 1, 25(OH)(2)D(3) membrane receptor (pmVDR) was studied in chick intestine, kidney, and brain. Western analyses and assays for specific [(3)H]1,25(OH)(2)D(3) binding indicated that, in intestine, pmVDR levels were greatest in -D chicks relative to +1,25D and +D animals (P < 0.05). In kidney, protein levels and specific binding followed the order +D > +1,25D, -D. In brain, vitamin D status did not affect protein levels or specific binding levels. In tissue from normal chicks, both protein and specific binding followed the order of intestine > kidney > brain membranes. Intestinal cells were further evaluated for the effect of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) on selected "rapid responses." Extrusion of (45)Ca in response to 130 pM 1, 25(OH)(2)D(3) in vitro was greater in cells from -D chicks than from +1,25D or normal birds. Analyses of signal transduction events revealed diminished hormone-induced intracellular calcium oscillations (as assessed by fura-2 fluorescence), and lack of steroid-enhanced protein kinase (PK) A activity in intestinal epithelial cells from -D chicks relative to +D chicks. PK C activation by 130 pM 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) was approximately twofold in cells from +D or -D chicks. The combined results indicate that vitamin D status differentially affects the pmVDR in intestine, kidney, and brain. In intestine, vitamin D deficiency differentially affects (45)Ca handling, intracellular calcium oscillations, PK A and PK C activities in response to 1,25(OH)(2)D(3).  相似文献

The binding of the natural and unnatural diastereoisomers 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone and 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone to the vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] chick intestinal receptor have been investigated. Also, the biological activities, under in vivo conditions, of these compounds, in terms of intestinal calcium absorption (ICA) and bone calcium mobilization (BCM), in the chick are reported. The presence of the lactone ring in the C23-C26 position of the seco-steroid side chain increased two to three times the ability of both 25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 to displace 25(OH)[3H]D3 from the D-binding protein; however, the DBP could not distinguish between the various diastereoisomers. In contrast, the unnatural form (23R,25S) of the 25-hydroxy-lactone was found to be 10-fold more potent than the natural form, and the unnatural (23R,25S)1,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone three times more potent than the natural 1,25-dihydroxy-lactone in displacing 1,25(OH)2[3H]D3 from its intestinal receptor. While studying the biological activity of these lactone compounds, it was found that the natural form of the 25-hydroxy-lactone increased the intestinal calcium absorption 48 h after injection (16.25 nmol), while bone calcium mobilization was decreased by the same dose of the 25-hydroxy-lactone. The 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone in both its natural and unnatural forms was found to be active in stimulating ICA and BCM. These results suggest that the 25-hydroxy-lactone has some biological activity in the chick and that 1,25(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone can mediate ICA and BCM biological responses, probably through an interaction with 1,25-(OH)2D3 specific receptors in these target tissues.  相似文献

Vitamin D compounds added to the culture medium induce HL-60 cells to differentiate into macrophage/monocytes via a receptor mechanism. This system provides a biologically relevant assay for the study of biopotency of vitamin D analogs. Using this system, the biological activity of various fluorinated derivatives of vitamin D3 was compared with that of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3). As assessed by cell morphology, nitroblue tetrazolium reduction and nonspecific esterase activity, 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexafluoro-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (26,27-F6-1,25-(OH)2D3) and 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexafluoro-1,24-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (26,27-F6-1,24-(OH)2D3) were about 10 times as potent as 1,25-(OH)2D3 in suppressing HL-60 cell proliferation and inducing cell differentiation. The biological activity of 26,26,26,27,27,27-hexafluoro-1-hydroxyvitamin D3 (26,27-F6-1-OH-D3) was equal to that of 1,25-(OH)2D3 in this system. 1,25-(OH)2D3 and its fluorinated analogs exerted their effects on HL-60 cells in a dose-dependent manner. HL-60 cells have a specific receptor for 1,25-(OH)2D3 with an apparent Kd of 0.25 nM, identical with that of chick intestinal receptor. While the binding affinities of 26,27-F6-1,25-(OH)2D3 and 26,27-F6-1,24-(OH)2D3 for chick intestinal receptor were lower than that of 1,25-(OH)2D3 by factors of 3 and 1.5, respectively, they were as competent as 1,25-(OH)2D3 in binding to HL-60 cell receptor. The ability of 26,27-F6-1-OH-D3 to compete for receptor protein from HL-60 cells and chick intestine was about 1/70 that of 1,25-(OH)2D3. These results indicate that trifluorination of carbons 26 and 27 of vitamin D3 can markedly enhance the effect on HL-60 cells.  相似文献

Two new vitamin D metabolites were isolated in pure form from separate incubations of homogenates of chick small intestinal mucosa or rat kidney employing either 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (28 microM) or 1 alpha,24R,25-trihydroxyvitamin D3 as substrate (0.17-1.3 microM). The newly characterized compounds and the amounts isolated in pure form from separate isolations are, respectively: 1 alpha,25-dihydroxy-24-oxo-vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2-24-oxo-D3), 147 micrograms from kidney and 4.2 and 40 micrograms from intestine; 1 alpha,23,25-trihydroxy-24-oxo-vitamin D3 (1,23,25(OH)3-24-oxo-D3), 155 micrograms from kidney and 5.9 and 34 micrograms from intestine. Their structures were identified after extensive high pressure liquid chromatography by means of ultraviolet absorption spectrometry, mass spectrometry of the free compounds and their trimethylsilylated derivatives, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, specific chemical reduction of the 24-oxo functionality with sodium borohydride, as well as direct comparison with synthetic 1,25(OH)2-24-oxo-D3. These structural assignments for both compounds correct previous determinations which had been proposed (Ohnuma, N., Kruse, J. R., Popjak, G., and Norman, A. W. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 5097-5102). The activity of the C-24 oxidation pathway used for the production of the 1,25(OH)2-24-oxo-D3 and 1,23,25(OH)3-24-oxo-D3 can be enhanced 10-fold by prior priming of the chicks or rats with a single intravenous dose of 1,25(OH)2D3 (1-12 nmol/100 g body weight); the induction of the enzyme activity is maximal by 3-6 h and returns to basal levels within 12 h. Further, 1,25(OH)2D3, 1,24,25(OH)3D3, and 1,25(OH)2-24-oxo-D3 all were found to be capable of serving as a precursor with chick intestine and rat kidney homogenates of 1,23,25(OH)3-24-oxo-D3. Collectively these results suggest the existence of a C-24 oxidation pathway for metabolism of 1,25(OH)2D3 by the target intestinal mucosa and kidney to 1,23,25(OH)3-24-oxo-D3. The pathway may play an important role in controlling the tissue levels of this hormonally active form of vitamin D3.  相似文献
