Calcium is absorbed in the mammalian small intestine by two general mechanisms: a transcellular active transport process, located largely in the duodenum and upper jejunum; and a paracellular, passive process that functions throughout the length of the intestine. The transcellular process involves three major steps: entry across the brush border, mediated by a molecular structure termed CaT1, intracellular diffusion, mediated largely by the cytosolic calcium-binding protein (calbindinD(9k) or CaBP); and extrusion, mediated largely by the CaATPase. Chyme travels down the intestinal lumen in approximately 3 h, spending only minutes in the duodenum, but over 2 h in the distal half of the small intestine. When calcium intake is low, transcellular calcium transport accounts for a substantial fraction of the absorbed calcium. When calcium intake is high, transcellular transport accounts for only a minor portion of the absorbed calcium, because of the short sojourn time and because CaT1 and CaBP, both rate-limiting, are downregulated when calcium intake is high. Biosynthesis of CaBP is fully and CaT1 function is approximately 90% vitamin D-dependent. At high calcium intakes CaT1 and CaBP are downregulated because 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), the active vitamin D metabolite, is downregulated. 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

Rickets and hyperparathyroidism caused by a defective Vitamin D receptor (VDR) can be prevented in humans and animals by high calcium intake, suggesting that intestinal calcium absorption is critical for 1,25(OH)(2) vitamin D [1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)] action on calcium homeostasis. We assessed the rate of serum (45)Ca accumulation within 10 min after oral gavage in two strains of VDR-knock out (KO) mice (Leuven and Tokyo KO) and observed a threefold lower area under the curve in both KO-strains. Moreover, we evaluated the expression of intestinal candidate genes, belonging to a new class of calcium channels (TRPV), involved in transcellular calcium transport. The calcium transport protein ECaC2 was more abundantly expressed at mRNA level than ECaC1 in duodenum, but both were considerably reduced (ECaC2 > 90%, ECaC1 > 60%) in the two VDR-KO strains on a normal calcium diet. Calbindin-D(9K) expression was only significantly decreased in the Tokyo KO, whereas PMCA(1b) expression was normal in both VDR-KOs. In Leuven wild type mice, a high calcium diet inhibited (> 90%), and 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) or low calcium diet induced (sixfold) duodenal ECaC2 expression and, to a lesser degree, ECaC1 and calbindin-D(9K) expression. In Leuven KO mice, however, high or low calcium intake decreased calbindin-D(9K) and PMCA(1b) expression, whereas both ECaC mRNA expressions remained consistently low on any diet. These results suggest that the expression of the novel duodenal epithelial calcium channels (in particular ECaC2 or TRPV6) is strongly vitamin D dependent and that calcium influx, probably interacting with calbindin-D(9K), should be considered as a rate-limiting step in the process of vitamin D dependent active calcium absorption. 相似文献

Background
The active hormonal form of vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) is the primary regulator of intestinal calcium absorption efficiency. In vitamin D deficiency, intestinal calcium absorption is low leading to an increased risk of developing negative calcium balance and bone loss. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D has been shown to stimulate calcium absorption in experimental animals and in human subjects. However, the molecular details of calcium transport across the enterocyte are not fully defined. Recently, two novel epithelial calcium channels (CaT1/ECaC2 and ECaC1/CaT2) have been cloned and suggested to be important in regulating intestinal calcium absorption. However, to date neither gene has been shown to be regulated by vitamin D status. We have previously shown that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin stimulates transcellular calcium transport in Caco-2 cells, a human intestinal cell line. 相似文献5.

A variety of intestinal cell organelles and proteins have been proposed to mediate 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3)-stimulated calcium absorption. In the present study biochemical analyses were undertaken to determine the subcellular localization of 45Ca after calcium transport in vivo in ligated duodenal loops of vitamin D-deficient chicks injected with 1.3 nmol of 1,25-(OH)2D3 or vehicle 15 h prior to experimentation. Separation of Golgi, mitochondria, basal lateral membrane, and lysosome fractions in the epithelial homogenates was achieved by differential sedimentation followed by centrifugation in Percoll gradients and evaluation of appropriate marker enzyme activities. Both vitamin D-deficient and 1,25-(OH)2D3-treated chicks had the highest levels of 45Ca-specific activity in lysosomal fractions. The lysosomes were also the only organelles to exhibit a 1,25-(OH)2D3-mediated difference in calcium content, increasing to 138% of controls. Lysosomes prepared from 1,25-(OH)2D3-treated chicks also contained the greatest levels of immunoreactive calbindin-D28k (calcium-binding protein). Chloroquine, a drug known to interfere with lysosomal function, was tested and found to inhibit 1,25-(OH)2D3-stimulated intestinal calcium absorption. Neither 1,25-(OH)2D3 nor chloroquine affected [3H]2O transport. In additional experiments, microsomal membranes (105,000 X g pellets) were subjected to gradient centrifugation. The highest levels of 45Ca-specific activity and calcium-binding protein in material from 1,25-(OH)2D3-treated chicks were found in fractions denser than endoplasmic reticulum and may represent endocytic vesicles. In studies on intestinal mucosa of 1,25-(OH)2D3-treated birds fractionated after 30 min of exposure to lumenal Ca2+ or Ca2+ plus chloroquine, 45Ca was found to accumulate in lysosomes and putative endocytic vesicles, relative to controls. A mechanism involving vesicular flow is proposed for 1,25-(OH)2D3-mediated intestinal calcium transport. Endocytic internalization of Ca2+, fusion of the vesicles with lysosomes, and exocytosis at the basal lateral membrane complete the transport process. 相似文献

Intestinal absorption of dietary calcium is regulated by 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) in humans and in experimental animals but interspecies differences in responsiveness to 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) are found, possibly due to differences in the promoters of genes for intestinal calcium transport proteins or of the Vitamin D receptor (VDR). The epithelial calcium transporter, known as ECAC2 or CAT1, the product of the TRPV6 gene expressed in proximal intestinal enterocytes, is the first step in calcium absorption and studies in mice have shown that its expression is Vitamin D-dependent. In contrast in man, we showed that duodenal TRPV6 mRNA expression was independent of blood 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), although in Caco-2 cells, 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-dependent changes have been demonstrated. We sought to explain these findings. A consensus Vitamin D response element in the mouse gene is absent in the human gene. We re-analysed our duodenal expression data according to a CDX2-site polymorphism in the VDR promoter. Mean TRPV6 expression was the same, but there was evidence of different responsiveness to 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). In the GG genotype group, but not the AG, duodenal TRPV6 expression increased with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). We postulate that lower levels of expression of VDR in the GG group produce greater sensitivity to 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). 相似文献

Impaired calcium absorption and impaired adaptation to a low calcium diet are common features of aging in women and these processes are even more severely impaired in patients with osteoporotic fractures. The calcium absorption defects are associated with several abnormalities of the vitamin D-endocrine system including secondary hyperparathyroidism, intestinal resistance to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)(2)D) action, decreased 1,25(OH)(2)D production due to impaired 25(OH)D 1alpha-hydroxylase activity, and, in some elderly persons, nutritional deficiency of vitamin D. However, in postmenopausal women, most of these abnormalities are normalized by administration of physiologic replacement dosages of estrogen and, thus, appear to be secondary consequences of estrogen deficiency. Nonetheless, a minority of them, especially nutritional vitamin D deficiency and impaired 25(OH)D 1alpha-hydroxylase activity late in life, appear to be primary and are independent of estrogen deficiency. 相似文献

Tight junction proteins claudin-2 and -12 are critical for vitamin D-dependent Ca2+ absorption between enterocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Fujita H Sugimoto K Inatomi S Maeda T Osanai M Uchiyama Y Yamamoto Y Wada T Kojima T Yokozaki H Yamashita T Kato S Sawada N Chiba H 《Molecular biology of the cell》2008,19(5):1912-1921
Ca2+ is absorbed across intestinal epithelial monolayers via transcellular and paracellular pathways, and an active form of vitamin D3, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3], is known to promote intestinal Ca2+ absorption. However, the molecules driving the paracellular Ca2+ absorption and its vitamin D dependency remain obscure. Because the tight junction proteins claudins are suggested to form paracellular channels for selective ions between neighboring cells, we hypothesized that specific intestinal claudins might facilitate paracellular Ca2+ transport and that expression of these claudins could be induced by 1α,25(OH)2D3. Herein, we show, by using RNA interference and overexpression strategies, that claudin-2 and claudin-12 contribute to Ca2+ absorption in intestinal epithelial cells. We also provide evidence showing that expression of claudins-2 and -12 is up-regulated in enterocytes in vitro and in vivo by 1α,25(OH)2D3 through the vitamin D receptor. These findings strongly suggest that claudin-2- and/or claudin-12-based tight junctions form paracellular Ca2+ channels in intestinal epithelia, and they highlight a novel mechanism behind vitamin D-dependent calcium homeostasis. 相似文献

Both 25-epimers of (22E)-22-dehydro-1 alpha,25-dihydroxy-26-methylvitamin D3 [22-dehydro-26-methyl-1,25-(OH)2D3] were synthesized. The biological activity of these compounds was tested in binding affinity to chick intestinal receptor protein of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] and in stimulating for intestinal calcium transport and bone calcium mobilization with vitamin D-deficient rats. The relative potency of (25R)- and (25S)-22-dehydro-26-homo-1,25-(OH)2D3 and 1,25-(OH)2D3 in competing for the intestinal cytosolic binding was 1.7:1.5:1. A similar order of activity was observed on intestinal calcium transport and bone calcium mobilization. In the ability for stimulation of intestinal calcium transport, (25R)- and (25S)-22-dehydro-26-methyl-1,25-(OH)2D3 were about 3.6 and 2.1 times as active as 1,25-(OH)2D3, respectively. In bone calcium mobilization tests, (25R)- and (25S)-22-dehydro-26-methyl-1,25-(OH)2D3 were estimated to be 2.2 and 1.6 times as potent as 1,25-(OH)2D3, respectively. 相似文献

Betamethasone (50 micrograms/kg body weight/day) given to young pigs reduced calcium absorption, growth and plasma vitamin D dependent calcium binding protein (CaBP) concentration. No changes occurred in plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) and intestinal CaBP concentrations. 1,25(OH)2D3 (0.1 microgram/kg body weight/day) given with betamethasone increased calcium absorption although growth and plasma CaBP concentrations remained low. Intestinal CaBP levels remained unchanged. Plasma CaBP concentrations were not consistently related to intestinal CaBP or calcium absorption in the presence of betamethasone. We conclude that betamethasone-induced depression of calcium absorption was not mediated by alterations in intestinal CaBP, but the mechanism remains obscure. 相似文献

Vitamin D is a principal regulator of calcium homeostasis. However, recent evidence has indicated that vitamin D can have numerous other physiological functions including inhibition of proliferation of a number of malignant cells including breast and prostate cancer cells and protection against certain immune mediated disorders including multiple sclerosis (MS). The geographic incidence of MS indicates an increase in MS with a decrease in sunlight exposure. Since vitamin D is produced in the skin by solar or UV irradiation and high serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) have been reported to correlate with a reduced risk of MS, a protective role of vitamin D is suggested. Mechanisms whereby the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) may act to mediate this protective effect are reviewed. Due to its immunosuppressive actions, it has been suggested that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) may prevent the induction of MS. 相似文献

The pediatrician's interest in vitamin D metabolism stems from the once-endemic rachitic deformities induced by vitamin D deficiency; later, clinical research of inherited forms of rickets established further principles of vitamin D metabolism and action. Constantine Anast, as both clinician and researcher, maintained an enthusiastic interest in vitamin D metabolism. His investigative esprit fostered my interest, as a fellow in his laboratory, in the synthetic pathway of active vitamin D.The best known active metabolite of vitamin D, 1,25(OH)2D, is formed by 1βhydroxylation of 25(OH)D, the most abundant circulating form of the vitamin. This well-characterized biochemical conversion is the rate-limiting reaction in the synthesis of 1,25(OH)2D [1]. The classical homeostatic role of 1,25(OH)2D is predominantly that of a calcemie agent, an action largely resulting from the metabolite's stimulation of intestinal transport of calcium [2]. Intestinal phosphorus transport, to a lesser extent than calcium transport can be stimulated by 1,25(OH)2D [3]. Furthermore, skeletal [4] and perhaps renal activity [5] of 1,25(OH)2D can increase circulating concentrations of calcium. These in vivo effects of 1,25(OH)2D on mineral homeostasis raise the question of whether feedback control, via mineral regulation of 1,25(OH)2D production, exists, and the significant mechanisms involved. Here, I will briefly review evidence from earlier studies supporting the notion of calcium and phosphorus regulation of 1α-hydroxylase activity, and present data generated in collaboration with Dr Anast examining vitamin D metabolism in magnesium deficiency. 相似文献

Regulation of renal vitamin D receptor is an important determinant of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) levels in vivo 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)) is most strongly regulated by dietary calcium and the action of parathyroid hormone to increase 1alpha-hydroxylase (1alpha-OHase) and decrease 24-hydroxylase (24-OHase) in kidney proximal tubules. This study examines the hypothesis that 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) synthesis, induced by dietary calcium restriction, is also the result of negative feedback regulation blockade. Rats fed a low calcium (0.02%, -Ca) diet and given daily oral doses of vitamin D (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, and 16.0 microg) remained hypocalcemic despite increasing levels of serum calcium in relation to the vitamin D dose. Plasma levels of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) rose to high levels (1200 pg/ml) at the high vitamin D dose levels. As expected, thyroparathyroidectomy caused a rapid fall in serum 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3). In rats fed a 0.47% calcium diet (+Ca) supplemented with vitamin D (4 microg/day), exogenous 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) suppressed renal 1alpha-OHase and stimulated the 24-OHase. In rats fed the -Ca diet, vitamin D was unable to suppress the renal 1alpha-OHase or stimulate the renal 24-OHase. In contrast, vitamin D was fully able to stimulate intestinal 24-OHase. Intestinal vitamin D receptor (VDR) was present under all circumstances, while kidney VDR was absent under hypocalcemic conditions and present under normocalcemic conditions. It appears that tissue-specific down-regulation of VDR by hypocalcemia blocks the 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) suppression of the 1alpha-OHase and upregulation of the 24-OHase in the kidney, causing a marked accumulation of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) in the plasma. 相似文献

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D] has been shown to inhibit development of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice but can also cause hypercalcemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether β-glucuronides of vitamin D could deliver 1,25(OH)(2)D to the colon to ameliorate colitis while reducing the risk of hypercalcemia. Initial studies demonstrated that bacteria residing in the lower intestinal tract were capable of liberating 1,25(OH)(2)D from 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3)-25-β-glucuronide [β-gluc-1,25(OH)(2)D]. We also determined that a much greater upregulation of the vitamin D-dependent 24-hydroxylase gene (Cyp24) was induced in the colon by treatment of mice with an oral dose of β-gluc-1,25(OH)(2)D than 1,25(OH)(2)D, demonstrating targeted delivery of 1,25(OH)(2)D to the colon. We then tested β-glucuronides of vitamin D in the mouse DSS colitis model in two studies. In mice receiving DSS dissolved in distilled water and treated with 1,25(OH)(2)D or β-gluc-1,25(OH)(2)D, severity of colitis was reduced. Combination of β-gluc-1,25(OH)(2)D with 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3)-25-β-glucuronide [β-gluc-25(OH)D] resulted in the greatest reduction of colitis lesions and symptoms in DSS-treated mice. Plasma calcium concentrations were lower in mice treated with β-gluc-1,25(OH)(2)D alone or in combination with β-gluc-25(OH)D than in mice treated with 1,25(OH)(2)D, which were hypercalcemic at the time of death. β-Glucuronides of vitamin D compounds can deliver 1,25(OH)(2)D to the lower intestine and can reduce symptoms and lesions of acute colitis in this model. 相似文献

We recently showed that excessive fructose consumption, already associated with numerous metabolic abnormalities, reduces rates of intestinal Ca(2+) transport. Using a rat lactation model with increased Ca(2+) requirements, we tested the hypothesis that mechanisms underlying these inhibitory effects of fructose involve reductions in renal synthesis of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3). Pregnant and virgin (control) rats were fed isocaloric fructose or, as controls, glucose, and starch diets from d 2 of gestation to the end of lactation. Compared to virgins, lactating dams fed glucose or starch had higher rates of intestinal transcellular Ca(2+) transport, elevated intestinal and renal expression of Ca(2+) channels, Ca(2+)-binding proteins, and CaATPases, as well as increased levels of 25-(OH)D(3) and 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3). Fructose consumption prevented almost all of these lactation-induced increases, and reduced vitamin D receptor binding to promoter regions of Ca(2+) channels and binding proteins. Changes in 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) level were tightly correlated with alterations in expression of 1α-hydroxylase but not with levels of parathyroid hormone and of 24-hydroxylase. Bone mineral density, content, and mechanical strength each decreased with lactation, but then fructose exacerbated these effects. When Ca(2+) requirements increase during lactation or similar physiologically challenging conditions, excessive fructose consumption may perturb Ca(2+) homeostasis because of fructose-induced reductions in synthesis 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

Biological activity of vitamin D metabolites and analogs: dose-response study of 45Ca transport in an isolated chick duodenum perfusion system 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have previously reported that vascular perfusion of the normal vitamin D3-replete chick duodenum with physiological amounts of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] increases the unidirectional movement of 45Ca from the lumen to the venous effluent under conditions of normal (0.9 mM) Ca2+ concentrations in both the lumen and vascular perfusate [Endocrinology 115: 1476 1984)]. The purpose of the present study was to determine the dose responsivity of this perfused intestinal calcium transport system for 1,25(OH)2D3 and some structurally related congeners. The dose-response curve was biphasic for all compounds studied; for 1,25(OH)2D3 initial stimulation of transport was detected at only 30 pM [the plasma concentration of 1,25(OH)2D3 is normally 125 pM] while maximal stimulation was 154% above control at a concentration of 650 pM. Above 650 pM 1,25(OH)2D3 the stimulation fell off sharply and transport had returned to basal levels by 1.3 nM. The relative potency of the D homologs tested was respectively 1,25(OH)2D3: 10,000; 1-alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3: 400; 25-hydroxyvitamin D3: 200; 24R,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3: 137; vitamin D3: 34; 5,6-trans-25-hydroxyvitamin D3: 3. These results establish the usefulness of the perfused intestinal calcium transport system to study the nongenomic actions of 1,25(OH)2D3 on intestinal calcium transport. 相似文献
