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

Analysis of rat vitamin D-dependent calbindin-D28k gene expression   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
We report the use of a cloned cDNA for mammalian calbindin-D28k (28-kDa vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein) to study the expression of the rat calbindin gene. Tissue distribution studies, using Northern analysis, indicated that calbindin-D28k-mRNA is detected in rat kidney and brain but is not detected in rat intestine, testes, bone, pancreas, liver, lung, or skeletal muscle. Both rat kidney and brain contain three RNA species (1.9, 2.8, and 3.2 kilobase pairs). The regulation of the gene was characterized by both Northern and slot blot analysis. Hormonal regulation, developmental expression of calbindin-D28k-mRNA, and the effect of dietary alteration were examined. In the kidney all three species of mRNA were dependent on the presence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) for their induction. The time course of induction of renal calbindin-D28k-mRNA indicated that a significant increase in calbindin-D-mRNA was detectable as early as 2 h following a single injection of 1,25-(OH)2D3 (200 ng/100 g of body weight), reaching a maximum at 12 h. Unlike the kidney high levels of calbindin-D28k-mRNA were observed in the brain of vitamin D-deficient rats. The concentration of calbindin-D28k-mRNA in brain was unchanged after 1,25-(OH)2D3 administration. Developmental studies indicated that calbindin-D-mRNA in rat kidney and brain is present prior to birth but is developmentally regulated in a tissue-specific manner. The most pronounced changes in the abundance of renal calbindin-D28k-mRNA occur between birth and 1 week of age. Unlike the kidney a large increase in brain calbindin-D28k-mRNA occurs at a later time, between 1 and 2 weeks of age (the period of major synapse formation). In dietary alteration studies results of Northern blot analysis indicate that low dietary phosphorus results in increased calbindin-D-mRNA in kidney but not in brain. These studies represent the first analysis of the rat calbindin-D28k gene and its regulation in vivo. Our findings suggest that in rat kidney and brain there are significant differences both in the expression of the gene for calbindin-D28k and its regulation by 1,25-(OH)2D3.  相似文献

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

Responses of cultured cartilage cells to metabolites of vitamin D3 were studied. Cells were obtained from the epiphyseal growth plate of rachitic chicks and were exposed to physiological and pharmacological concentrations of three metabolites of vitamin D3, 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3), 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25(OH)2D3) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). 1,25(OH)2D3 was found to reduce L-[U-14C]leucine incorporation into proteins and Na2 35SO4 incorporation into proteoglycans. The synthesis of 24,25(OH)2D3 from 25(OH)D3 was stimulated upon addition of 1,25(OH)2D3 to the cultures. Physiological concentrations of 24,25(OH)2D3 stimulated protein and proteoglycan synthesis. These findings support the notion that vitamin D3, through its active dihydroxylated metabolites, is directly involved in cartilage cells metabolism and healing of rickets.  相似文献

The role of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) on the intestinal NCX activity was studied in vitamin D-deficient chicks (-D) as well as the hormone effect on NCX1 protein and gene expression and the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the responses. Normal, -D and -D chicks treated with cholecalciferol or 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) were employed. In some experiments, -D chicks were injected with cycloheximide or with cycloheximide and 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) simultaneously. NCX activity was decreased by -D diet, returning to normal values after 50 IU daily of cholecalciferol/10 days or a dose of 1μg calcitriol/kg of b.w. for 15 h. Cycloheximide blocked NCX activity enhancement produced by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). NCX1 protein and gene expression were diminished by -D diet and enhanced by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). Vitamin D receptor expression was decreased by -D diet, effect that disappeared after 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) treatment. Rapid effects of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) on intestinal NCX activity were also demonstrated. The abolition of the rapid effects through addition of Rp-cAMPS and staurosporine suggests that non genomic effects of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) on NCX activity are mediated by activation of PKA and PKC pathways. In conclusion, 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) enhances the intestinal NCX activity in -D chicks through genomic and non genomic mechanisms.  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 effect of altering the lipid composition of the brush-border membrane on the ability of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) to stimulate calcium transport across the intestinal mucosa was examined by raising chicks on a vitamin D, essential fatty acid-deficient diet (-DEFAD) and measuring calcium absorption from duodenal sacs in situ and calcium uptake into brush-border membrane vesicles in vitro. Administration of 1,25-(OH)2D3 to -DEFAD and to -D control chicks led to the same increase in calcium transport in situ, whereas calcium transport in isolated brush-border membrane vesicles was not stimulated in the EFAD group, but responded normally in the control group. When the incubation temperature was increased to 34 degrees C, brush-border membrane vesicles from 1,25-(OH)2D3-treated essential fatty acid-deficient (+DE-FAD) chicks accumulated calcium at a faster rate than did vesicles from -DEFAD chicks. There was a marked decrease in the linoleic acid content and an increase in the oleic acid content of both the total lipid extract of the brush-border membrane as well as the phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine fractions, which could explain the temperature sensitivity of the in vitro system. When the diet of the EFAD chicks was supplemented with linoleic acid, the rate of calcium uptake into subsequently isolated vesicles from +DE-FAD chicks correlated with the amount of linoleic acid in the brush-border membranes. These results support the concept that the action of 1,25-(OH)2D3 on membrane lipid turnover and structure plays a critically important role in the 1,25-(OH)2D3-mediated cellular transport responses.  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

The developing chick embryo acquires calcium from two sources. Until about Day 10 of incubation, the yolk is the only source; thereafter, calcium is also mobilized from the eggshell. We have previously shown that during normal chick embryonic development, vitamin D is involved in regulating yolk calcium mobilization, whereas vitamin K is required for eggshell calcium translocation by the chorioallantoic membrane. We have studied here the biochemical action of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 in the yolk sac by examining the expression and regulation of the cytosolic vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein, calbindin-D28K. Two types of embryos are used for this study, normal embryos developing in ovo and embryos maintained in long-term shell-less culture ex ovo, the latter being dependent solely on the yolk as their calcium source. Our findings are (1) calbindin-D28K is expressed in the embryonic yolk sac, detectable at incubation Days 9 and 14; (2) the embryonic yolk sac calbindin-D28K resembles that of the adult duodenum in both molecular weight (Mr 28,000) and isoelectric point, as well as the presence of E-F hand Ca2(+)-binding structural domains; (3) systemic calcium deficiency caused by shell-less culture of chick embryos results in enhanced expression of calbindin-D28K in the yolk sac during late development; (4) yolk sac calbindin-D28K expression is inducible by 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 treatment in vivo and in vitro; and (5) immunohistochemistry revealed that yolk sac calbindin-D28K is localized exclusively to the cytoplasm of the yolk sac endoderm. These findings indicate that the chick embryonic yolk sac is a genuine target tissue of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3.  相似文献

To investigate the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) on pancreatic B and D cell function in normal rats, 1 microgram of 1,25(OH)2D3 was administered intravenously 20 hours before the experiment. The plasma 1,25(OH)2D3 and calcium concentrations were significantly elevated, and plasma insulin levels also increased in 1,25(OH)2D3-administered rats compared with controls. Glucose-induced insulin and somatostatin release from the isolated pancreas perfused with lower calcium, however, was the same between the 1,25(OH)2D3-administered group and the controls. On the other hand, when the isolated pancreas was perfused with higher calcium, the glucose-induced insulin release was significantly increased in the 1,25(OH)2D3-administered group, while no significant difference in somatostatin release was observed in any group. These results suggest that the sensitivity of pancreatic B cells to glucose perfused with more calcium may increase when 1,25(OH)2D3 has been previously administered. In addition, 1,25(OH)2D3 does not seem to affect the somatostatin release from the pancreatic D cells.  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

The receptor for the steroid hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] belongs to a superfamily of steroid and triidothyronine (T3) receptors. As yet no 1,25(OH)2D3 response element (DRE) has been identified. Since the T3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 receptors are structurally homologous, we have used the nucleotide sequence of the T3 response element to carry out a computer search of the promoter region of several 1,25(OH)2D3 regulated genes. We report here one candidate DRE from the chick calbindin-D28K gene (AGCCCAATGGCTGAACA) and two candidate DRE's from the rat osteocalcin gene (TCCCCACTGGATGAGCG and CCTGCACTGGGTGAATGA).  相似文献

As in many other cell types, autoregulation of tubulin synthesis is evident in the intestinal epithelium of normal (vitamin D-replete) chicks: Suppression of protein (tubulin) synthesis by cycloheximide administration in vivo resulted within 30 min in a two-fold increase in RNA hybridizing with an alpha-tubulin probe. Vitamin D status revealed an additional regulatory component. alpha-Tubulin mRNA was elevated in vitamin D-deficient (-D) chicks and those treated with 1,25(OH)2D3 for 1-10 h prior to sacrifice, but declined precipitously 15-20 h after hormone, and in normal birds. These results suggested hormonally increased tubulin levels which in turn suppressed cellular alpha-tubulin mRNA. Analyses of total tubulin levels by [3H]-colchicine binding revealed low levels of the protein(s) in -D chicks, increased levels at 1-15 h after 1,25(OH)2D3, and maximum binding at 20 h after hormone and in normal birds.  相似文献

We have shown previously that the in vitro activity of the renal vitamin K-dependent gamma-glutamyl carboxylase toward synthetic oligopeptide substrates is stimulated by administration of either parathyroid hormone (PTH) or 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1,25(OH)2D3] to rats [(1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 12783-12786]. Here we report that administration of 1,25(OH)2D3 to rats increases their levels of endogenous carboxylase substrate as well. Rats fed a vitamin D-deficient diet had highly elevated serum PTH levels while vitamin D-replete animals had undetectable levels. Furthermore, since PTH increases 1,25(OH)2D3 levels by stimulating renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1 alpha-hydroxylase, it is very likely that the stimulatory effects of PTH on the renal vitamin K-dependent carboxylating system are mediated by 1,25(OH)2D3.  相似文献

Recent work has indicated that vectorial Ca2+ transport across the intestinal epithelium occurs in vesicles and may involve the participation of microtubules [Nemere et al., 1986]. Since 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) stimulates this Ca2+ transport process, microtubule (MT) isotypes were studied as a potential regulatory point. The effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 status on tubulin isotypes was analyzed by isoelectric focusing (IEF) gels of taxol stabilized MTs prepared from intestinal epithelium of vitamin D-deficient chicks dosed with vehicle (-D) or 1.3 nmoles of 1,25(OH)2D3 (+D) 2.5, 5, 10, 15, or 43 h prior to sacrifice. Four bands, one of which was identified as alpha-tubulin on the basis of Western analysis, increased in Coomassie Blue staining intensity 5-15 h after 1,25(OH)2D3, corresponding to the time course of augmented vesicular Ca2+ transport. Dose-response studies revealed similar changes in tubulin isotype profiles in IEF gels, again corresponding to doses known to elicit enhanced Ca2+ absorption (52-6,500 pmoles of hormone). The role of Ca2+ transport was also examined. Isoelectrically focused intestinal epithelial tubulin from -D chicks allowed to transport Ca2+ for 30 min revealed increased staining of bands relative to nonabsorbing -D controls. By comparison, Ca2+ transport in +D chicks resulted in fainter bands relative to nonabsorbing, +D controls. MTs prepared from fasted or fed chicks revealed similar changes upon IEF, but of much smaller magnitude. Enhanced phosphorylation did not account for the appearance of the more acidic bands, although 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment resulted in decreased 32P content of a presumptive non-tubulin component, relative to preparations from -D controls. Glucocorticoids, which are known to suppress 1,25(OH)2D3-stimulated Ca2+ transport, led to severely diminished levels of total tubulin, as judged by SDS-PAGE, rather than altered tubulin isotypes. Thus, MTs of intestine are subject to regulation by hormonal status, as well as by the amount of Ca2+ available for transepithelial transport.  相似文献

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3(1,25-(OH)2D3) receptors from the rachitic chick pancreas have been partially characterized. Analyses of these receptors by isokinetic gradient centrifugation and analytical gel filtration reveal a sedimentation coefficient (S) of 3.3-3.7, a molecular weight (Mr) of 58,500-68,000, and a calculated Stokes molecular radius (Rs) of 34-36 A. Polyethylenimine-ammonium sulfate precipitation of pancreatic cytosol partially purifies aporeceptor and reduces nonspecific binding (in part, 5.8S DBP), thus providing material more amenable to kinetic analyses, Binding studies incorporating this fractionated cytosol reveal an equilibrium dissociation constant (K4) of approximately 0.112 nM at 2 degrees C for the 1,25-(OH)2D3-receptor interaction. Competition studies further demonstrate a particular preference for 1,25-(OH)2D3 over 1,24(R),25-trihydroxyvitamin D3, 24(R),25-dihydroxyvitamin C3, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. The pancreatic receptor also binds to immobilized group-selective affinity ligands such as DNA, cibacron blue, and heparin, and can be eluted as a single macromolecular species during standard linear KCl gradients. Its interaction with these ligands supports the premise that the 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptors' fundamental mode of action is at the level of the cellular genome. Salt-dependent nuclear uptake and chromatin localization studies with this receptor in vitro also support this potential site of action. Significantly, a physiologic dose of 1,25-(OH)2[3H]D3 to rachitic chicks leads to the in vivo formation of a receptor-hormone complex as identified by DNA-cellulose chromatography. These observations provide further evidence that the pancreatic protein is a biologically relevant component of the chick pancreas which functions to accumulate hormone intracellularly under physiologic situations.  相似文献
