Abstract: | In previous works we have found a mitochondrial alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity in LLC-PK1. The aim of this work has been to study the possible involvement of mitochondrial AP activity in the synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25(OH)2D3) from the substrate 25(OH)D3. Renal phenotype LLC-PK1 cells were incubated with 25(OH)D3 as substrate and treated with or without 1,25(OH)2D3, forskolin, 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) and 1,25(OH)2D3 in conjunction with PMA. Incubation of LLC-PK1 cells with forskolin (adenylate cyclase activator) not only stimulated the 1-hydroxylase and inhibited the 24-hydroxylase activities but also increased the mitochondrial AP activity. The addition of 1,25(OH)2D3, the main activator of 24-hydroxylase, produced a decrease of mitochondrial AP activity, a decrease of 1,25(OH)2D3 synthesis and an increase of the 24,25(OH)2D3 synthesis. Incubation with PMA, a potent activator of protein kinase C, did not produce any changes in mitochondrial AP activity, but an inhibition of 1,25(OH)2D3 and an activation of 24,25(OH)2D3 synthesis were found. Moreover, incubation of LLC-PK1 cells with PMA in conjunction with 1,25(OH)2D3 produced an additive effect in the decrease of 1,25(OH)2D3 and an increase of 24,25(OH)2D3 synthesis remaining mitochondrial AP activity as cells treated only with 1,25(OH)2D3. Our results suggest that mitochondrial AP activity could be involved as an intracellular signal in the regulation of 25(OH)D3 metabolism to the synthesis of 1,25(OH)2D3 and 24,25(OH)2D3 in renal phenotype LLC-PK1 cells through cAMP protein kinase system. |
