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