We have examined the ability of blood-derived monocytes and macrophages isolated from a patient with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and hypercalcaemia, to form 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25(OH)2D3) or 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1 alpha,25(OH)2D3) from 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3). Adherent monocyte-macrophage cells incubated with 25(OH)D3 over the initial 2 days in culture synthesized 1.9 pmol 24,25(OH)2D3/h/incubation (representing 0.63 pmol/h/10(6) cells), whereas macrophages synthesized 1.03 and 1.15 pmol 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3/h/incubation after 1 and 4 weeks in culture respectively. In a further experiment synthesis of 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 by long-term cultured macrophages fell from 2.25 to 0.04 pmol/h/incubation following exposure to 10 nM 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 for 7 days, whereas 24,25(OH)2D3 synthesis was induced (0.46 pmol/h/incubation). The vitamin D3 metabolites were identified by co-chromatography with authentic 24,25(OH)2D3 or 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 in three different high-performance liquid chromatography systems. Serum 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 in the patient was markedly suppressed at 5 pg/ml (normal 20-50 pg/ml) indicating that raised 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 was not the cause of the hypercalcaemia, but rather, that raised calcium may have suppressed renal 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 synthesis. Administration of APD (3-amino-1-hydroxypropylidine-1,1-bisphosphonate) corrected the hypercalcaemia in the patient suggesting that increased bone resorption was responsible for the raised calcium. The results of this study show for the first time that immature blood derived monocyte-macrophage cells can synthesize 24,25(OH)2D3 before they mature into macrophages able to synthesize 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3. 相似文献

Porcine calcitonin was used to treat three patients with hypercalcaemia due to vitamin D intoxication. In two patients a rapid and sustained fall to normal in serum calcium occurred within three days, in the third patient normocalcaemia was achieved in seven days. In view of its rapid and sustained effect calcitonin may be of value in the urgent treatment of hypercalcaemia due to vitamin D intoxication. 相似文献

THE MODE OF ACTION OF VITAMIN D 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
1. The purpose of this review article is to re-evaluate and integrate many of the observations related to the physiological effects of vitamin D, using as a working hypothesis the concept that the vitamin may be acting analogously to a steroid hormone in terms of its ability to interact with genetic information and ultimately elicit a physiological response. Prior to this time the problem of the mechanism of action of vitamin D has primarily been approached from the point of view that the vitamin was acting as a cofactor for some specific enzymic reaction. 2. The physiological activities of vitamin D are integrated with those of parathyroid hormone to provide a homeostatic control for the regulation of primarily calcium and secondarily phosphate metabolism. It is proposed that the role of vitamin D in this homeostatic control mechanism is older and more fundamental than that of parathyroid hormone. The interaction of vitamin D on skeletal calcium metabolism may have evolved before the effects of the vitamin on intestinal calcium absorption. 3. There are several physiological defects of calcium metabolism—rickets, osteo-malacia, vitamin D-resistant rickets and idiopathic hypercalcaemia—all of which may be a consequence of an aberration in one or another of the interlocking steps of the vitamin D-dependent and calcium-dependent homeostatic control mechanism. 4. The most thoroughly established action of vitamin D in vivo is to promote or facilitate the intestinal absorption of calcium. Although the exact biochemical details of this process are not available, this may involve vitamin D-mediated synthesis of the appropriate enzyme systems or the alteration of membrane structure necessary for calcium absorption. It is not yet unequivocally established whether calcium absorption is an energy-dependent active transport process or is a passive carrier-mediated or simple diffusion process. 5. The exact action of vitamin D on bone metabolism is not as well established, but the primary effect of the vitamin is likely to mediate bone resorption. The vitamin D-dependent activities of the cell in both the intestine and bone are to absorb calcium and transfer it to the blood. 6. No direct effects of vitamin D on intestinal absorption of phosphate have been found. Furthermore the validity of a vitamin D-mediated renal reabsorption of phosphate is questioned, for the major effects of vitamin D are cation oriented. If the renal effects of vitamin D are true, it is postulated that the mechanism of action of the vitamin here on the anion, phosphate, is fundamentally different from its cation oriented mechanism. 7. There is a lag in the action of vitamin D on the vitamin mediated: (a) transport of calcium both in vivo in rats and chicks, and in vitro with everted intestinal slices; (b) the apparent increased permeability of intestinal mucosa; (c) increased levels of citric acid in serum or bone; (d) the increased incorporation of radioactive inorganic phosphorus into intestinal mucosa phospholipids. As shown by the use of radioactive vitamin D, this lag is not due to a lack of the vitamin in the target organs. 8. Whereas large, unphysiological doses of radioactive vitamin D localize in all tissues and all subcellular fractions, small physiological doses of radioactive vitamin D localize predominantly in the nucleus of the intestinal mucosa. The amount of vitamin D localized in the nucleus would appear to be too low for the vitamin to function as a cofactor, and is more indicative of an interaction on or with deoxy-ribonucleic acid. 9. Actinomycin D, an inhibitor of DNA-directed RNA synthesis, inhibits the action of vitamin D in mediating intestinal calcium absorption and bone resorption. Vitamin D also stimulates messenger-RNA synthesis in intestinal mucosa within 1/2 hr. of vitamin treatment. Vitamin D may play a crucial role, along with parathyroid hormone and calcium, in a DNA, gene-dependent, homeostatic control mechanism for cal, ium metabolism. In this system the vitamin D molecule has certain very specific structural requirements which are probably a reflection of the specificity of its receptor molecule, rather than structural requirements for a cofactor-enzyme relationship. 相似文献

The physiological effect of 1,25-(OH)2D3 on the regulation of calcitonin (CT) secretion was studied by measuring plasma CT levels and CT mRNAs extracted from thyroid glands of normal (D+) or partially vitamin D-depleted rats (D-). In both groups, acute 1,25-(OH)2D3 administration of 0.1 microgram/kg b.w. yielded an early drop in plasma calcium concentrations (around 0.6-1 mg/dl) with a maximum decrease 15 min after treatment. In spite of this hypocalcemia, a significant rise in plasma CT levels was observed within 5 min in D+ animals and within 30 min in D- animals after injection of the vitamin D metabolite. Nevertheless, the increased CT secretion was not associated with a marked and sustained rise in CT mRNA levels measured by dot-blot hybridization or CT mRNA activity evaluated by translation assay. By contrast to the observations made previously using supra-physiological doses of the vitamin D metabolites, no clear-cut effect on CT mRNA levels was found with lower doses. If we hypothesized that 1,25-(OH)2D3 plays a physiological role in CT secretion, our results suggest that this rapid control could be exerted at a post-translational level may be via an increase in the cytoplasmic ionized calcium concentration of C-cells. 相似文献

Coeliac disease is a gluten-sensitive enteropathy of varying severity. Osteomalacia and hypocalcaemia can result from malabsorption of vitamin D and calcium, which, in turn, can lead to secondary hyperparathyroidism. If coeliac disease remains untreated for long, tertiary hyperparathyroidism can also develop through autonomy of the parathyroid glands via chronic stimulation. Primary hyperparathyroidism also has been reported in some cases of coeliac disease. We report the case of an adolescent with coeliac disease presenting with severe hypercalcaemia from a parathyroid adenoma. A 14 year-old girl was admitted to our department for delayed puberty and growth retardation. Laboratory examination revealed iron deficiency anaemia, low 25OH vitamin D level (7 ng/ml), high parathyroid hormone level (PTH) (955 pg/ml), and hypercalcaemia (13.4 mg/dl). Endoscopic biopsy was compatible with gluten enteropathy. Endomysium antibody was positive. A gluten-free diet was started. Her calcium returned to normal after excision of the parathyroid adenoma. After four months of the gluten-free diet, she began to mature, and puberty began with development of breasts and axillary-pubic hair growth. It has been suggested that autonomous four-gland hyperplasia or tertiary hyperparathyroidism may progress to adenoma formation, and that this should be termed "quaternary hyperparathyroidism". More studies are required to explain the relationship between coeliac disease and hyperparathyroidism. 相似文献

To understand better dietary regulation of intestinal calcium absorption, a quantitative assessment of the metabolites in plasma and duodenum of rats given daily doses of radioactive vitamin D3 and diets differing in calcium and phosphorus content was made. All known vitamin D metabolites were ultimately identified by high-pressure liquid chromatography. In addition to the known metabolites (25-hydroxyvitamin D3, 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 25,26-dihydroxyvitamin D3, and 1,24,25-trihydroxyvitamin D3), several new and unidentified metabolites were found. In addition to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and 1,24,25-trihydroxyvitamin D3, the levels of some of the unknown metabolites could be correlated with intestinal calcium transport. However, whether or not any of these metabolites plays a role in the stimulation of intestinal calcium absorption by low dietary calcium or low dietary phosphorus remains unknown. 相似文献

Forty one elderly patients admitted to hospital for acute illnesses were also found to have subclinical osteomalacia. Immediately before discharge, therefore, all were randomised to receive either vitamin D2 25 micrograms daily, alfacalcidol 0.5 micrograms daily, or placebo. Treatment was given for at least three months, those allocated to placebo then being switched to an active drug. Within the first three months of treatment with either of the active drugs most patients had exhibited a fall to normal in osteoid values. In only four treatment periods was there a mild increase in serum calcium concentration, and in no patient was this accompanied by deterioration in renal function. Any increase in serum creatinine concentration was invariably attributable to the underlying disease for which the patient had been admitted in the first place. Subclinical osteomalacia in the elderly may be corrected by relatively low doses of alfacalcidol (0.5 micrograms daily) or vitamin D2 (25 micrograms daily) given for three months. Such treatment is safe and not accompanied by a serious risk of hypercalcaemia or renal impairment. 相似文献

The effect of a daily intramuscular injection of vitamin D3 (2000 IU/100 g b.wt) on serum calcium level was investigated in Varanus flavescens. This treatment evoked hypercalcaemia on day 3 which progressed up to day 7. At day 14 a decline was noticed in the serum calcium level which was followed by a rise from day 21 to day 28. 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

Four families with familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia were studied. The probands presented with abdominal pain, which in three was due to acute pancreatitis; in two the condition was life threatening. Serum concentrations of calcium, magnesium, phosphate, and immunoassayable parathyroid hormone, urinary calcium excretion, and the rate of renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate were measured; the findings were compared with results in 10 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism matched for serum calcium concentration to establish differences between the diseases. Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia should be suspected in patients with hypercalcaemia in whom daily urinary calcium excretion is below 5 mmol (200 mg) provided renal insufficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and ingestion of drugs that reduce calcium excretion have been excluded. Most cases appear to run a benign course, but some may suffer considerable morbidity. Surgical treatment should be reserved for patients with severe complications, when all parathyroid tissue should be removed. 相似文献

Pitfalls in the management of hypoparathyroidism are illustrated by the case of a patient who developed hypervitaminosis D while receiving doses of calciferol and of calcium in amounts commonly recommended for treatment. Either the patient was very slow to obtain maximum vitamin D effect or else her sensitivity to vitamin D increased, because she did not become hypercalcemic until two years after treatment was started. The dose of vitamin D was halved to 50,000 units per day and the dose of calcium was lowered to 0.26 g. daily. She failed to remain under medical supervision for the next four years and presented with hypercalcemia and evidence of renal impairment. After vitamin D was discontinued she remained hypercalcemic for nine months.These findings are discussed in the light of current knowledge concerning the actions of parathyroid hormone and vitamin D. The influence of adrenocortical hormones on calcium metabolism is considered. The need to follow up hypoparathyroid patients closely, and to check the level of calcium in the serum, is emphasized. 相似文献

1 alpha-hydroxylation of 24-hydroxyvitamin D2 represents a minor physiological pathway for the activation of vitamin D2 in mammals 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
C24-Hydroxylation was evaluated as a possible activation pathway for vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. Routine assays showed that 24-hydroxyvitamin D2 and 1,24-dihydroxyvitamin D2 could be detected in rats receiving physiological doses (100 IU/day) of vitamin D2; however, 24-hydroxyvitamin D3 could not be detected in rats receiving similar doses of vitamin D3. In rats, 24-hydroxyvitamin D2 was very similar to 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 at stimulating intestinal calcium transport and bone calcium resorption. The biological activity of 24-hydroxyvitamin D2 was eliminated by nephrectomy, suggesting that 24-hydroxyvitamin D2 must undergo 1 alpha-hydroxylation to be active at physiological doses. In vivo experiments suggested that when given individually to vitamin D deficient rats, 24-hydroxyvitamin D2, 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 were 1 alpha-hydroxylated with the same efficiency. However, when presented simultaneously, 24-hydroxyvitamin D2 was less efficiently 1 alpha-hydroxylated than either 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 or 25-hydroxyvitamin D2. 1,24-Dihydroxyvitamin D2 was also approximately 2-fold less competitive than either 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 for binding sites on the bovine thymus 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D receptor. These results demonstrate that 24-hydroxylation followed by 1 alpha-hydroxylation of vitamin D2 represents a minor activation pathway for vitamin D2 but not vitamin D3. 相似文献

Vitamin D and prostate cancer. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Classically, the actions of vitamin D have been associated with bone and mineral metabolism. More recent studies have shown that vitamin D metabolites induce differentiation and/or inhibit cell proliferation of a number of malignant and nonmalignant cell types including prostate cancer cells. Epidemiological studies show correlations between the risk factors for prostate cancer and conditions that can result in decreased vitamin D levels. The active metabolite of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol), inhibits growth of both primary cultures of human prostate cancer cells and cancer cell lines, but the mechanism by which the cells are growth-inhibited has not been clearly defined. Initial studies suggest that calcitriol alters cell cycle progression and may also initiate apoptosis. One of the disadvantages of using vitamin D in vivo is side-effects such as hypercalcemia at doses above physiological levels. Analogs of calcitriol have been developed that have comparable or more potent antiproliferative effects but are less calcemic. Further research into the mechanisms of vitamin D action in prostate and identification of suitable analogs for use in vivo may lead to its use in the treatment or prevention of prostate cancer. 相似文献

Radioactive metabolites present in bone, blood, liver, and feces of rats given (3)H vitamin D(3) have been isolated. Of these the aqueous soluble metabolite(s) from tissue and all those isolated from feces did not cure rickets in rats, while all the others were at least partially active in this regard. One of the metabolites proved to be as active as the parent vitamin in curing rickets and was found in large amounts in liver, blood, and bone. As much as 50-80% of the radioactivity in bone was found in this metabolite after a 500 IU oral dose of (3)H vitamin D(3). With 10 IU doses of 1,2-(3)H vitamin D(3), most of the radioactivity of the organs examined was found in this metabolite fraction. This metabolite appears to be more polar than vitamin D and is not an esterified form of the vitamin nor a complex of the vitamin with tissue lipids. Its possible role as the metabolically active form of the vitamin is discussed. 相似文献

Decrease in calcitonin and parathyroid hormone mRNA levels and hormone secretion under long-term hypervitaminosis D3 in rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Fernández-Santos JM Utrilla JC Conde E Hevia A Loda M Martín-Lacave I 《Histology and histopathology》2001,16(2):407-414
In calcium homeostasis, vitamin D3 is a potent serum calcium-raising agent which in vivo regulates both calcitonin (CT) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene expression. Serum calcium is the major secretagogue for CT, a hormone product whose biosynthesis is the main biological activity of thyroid C-cells. Taking advantage of this regulatory mechanism, long-term vitamin D3-induced hypercalcemia has been extensively used as a model to produce hyperactivation, hyperplasia and even proliferative lesions of C-cells, supposedly to reduce the sustained high calcium serum concentrations. We have recently demonstrated that CT serum levels did not rise after long-term hypervitaminosis D3. Moreover, C-cells did not have a proliferative response, rather a decrease in CT-producing C-cell number was observed. In order to confirm the inhibitory effect of vitamin D3 on C-cells, Wistar rats were administered vitamin D3 chronically (25,000 IU/d) with or without calcium chloride (CaCl2). Under these long-term vitamin D3-hypercalcemic conditions, calcium, active metabolites of vitamin D3, CT and PTH serum concentrations were determined by RIA; CT and PTH mRNA levels were analysed by Northern blot and in situ hybridization; and, finally, the ultrastructure of calciotrophic hormone-producing cells was analysed by electron microscopy. Our results show, that, in rats, long term administration of vitamin D3 results in a decrease in hormone biosynthetic activities of both PTH and CT-producing cells, albeit at different magnitudes. Based upon these results, we conclude that hypervitaminosis D3-based methods do not stimulate C-cell activity and can not be used to induce proliferative lesions of calcitonin-producing cells. 相似文献

Four new in vivo metabolites of vitamin D3 were isolated from the blood plasma of chicks given large doses of vitamin D3. The metabolites were isolated by methanol-chloroform extraction and a series of chromatographic procedures. By use of mass spectrometry, ultraviolet absorption spectrophotometry, and specific chemical reactions, the metabolites were identified as 23,24,25-trihydroxyvitamin D3, 24,25,26-trihydroxyvitamin D3, 24-keto-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 23-dehydro-25-hydroxyvitamin D3. 相似文献

Long term hypercalcaemia was induced in F. pennanti by alternate day intramuscular injections of 50,000 IU of vitamin D2 and by giving them 1% CaCl2 solution prepared in tap water to drink. The controls were not injected with vitamin D2 and were given tap water. The serum calcium levels at various stages of the experiment (1-29 days) show increased values as compared with those of control animals. The calcitonin cells in the treated animals generally exhibit an increase in their number up to the 15th day. Mitotic figures are also encountered between the 7th and the 15th day of treatment. This exhibits the increase in the number of C cells. Constant calcium challenge results in increased quantities of secretory granules among these cells up to the 15th day and in degranulation from the 17th day onwards. It also causes degenerative changes in a certain number of C cells. The parathyroids exhibit atrophic changes (25 days onwards) due to chronic hypercalcaemia. For short term hypercalcaemia, animals were injected intravenously with 1 ml of 10% solution of calcium gluconate. The calcitonin cells do not exhibit any change during the first half hour but thereafter they exhibit progressive degranulation, resulting in marked degranulation after 5 hours of the injection. The parathyroids remain unaffected throughout the experiment and show no histological change. 相似文献

The mode of action of vitamin D3 (a seco steroid with a broken B ring) for calcium and phosphorus homeostasis is mediated at least in part through its metabolic transformation to 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D and 24, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. A vitamin D endocrine system produces in a carefully regulated fashion amounts of 1, 25(OH)2D3dictated by the calcium needs of the organism. 1, 25(OH)2D3 is known to induce the biosynthesis of a a calcium binding protein in the intestine and kidney via a mechanism similar to that of classic steroid hormones. Evidence for biological effects specifically generated by 24, 25(OH)2D3 D have also been obtained. Definite evidence for the further metabolism of these dihydroxylated metabolites exists; it probably occurs via side chain cleavage with the generation of several new molecules of unknown function. Evaluation of the unique structural aspects of these putative vitamin D metabolites suggests a second set of chemical and biological properties which could link these compounds structurally to the membrane-active polyene antibiotic filipin. These properties may rationalize some reported “rapid biological effects” pertaining to vitamin D and metabolites which hitherto have been difficult to explain in terms of classical steroid hormone theory. A key unresolved question relates to identification of the evolutionary pathways which resulted in the selection of vitamin D seco-steroids rather than classical (with intact rings) steroids for Ca and P homeostasis. 相似文献
