Hypocalcemia, rickets, and osteomalacia are major phenotypic abnormalities in vitamin D receptor (VDR)-null mice. In an attempt to understand the abnormal regulation of calcium metabolism in these animals, we examined the expression of calbindins (CaBP) as well as calcium handling in the intestine and kidney of VDR null mice. In adult VDR-null mice, intestinal and renal CaBP-D9k expression was ...
A peptide of 27 amino acids, VDR(102-76), representing residues 76-102 immediately C-terminal to the second Zn finger of human vitamin D receptor (hVDR) was conjugated to fluorescein-labelled IgG using a bifunctional coupling reagent, m-maleimidobenzoyl n-hydroxysuccinimide. Upon microinjection into the cytoplasm of human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells, the chimeras accumulated in the nuclei. This tr...
BACKGROUND Vitamin D mediates its action via vitamin D receptor (VDR) and is involved in a wide variety of biological processes including regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation in normal tissue and apoptosis, and cell adhesion in tumor cells. The study of genetic variations in VDR may elucidate the association of vitamin D levels, its metabolism, and VDR polymorphism with various ...
The 26,23-lactone derivative of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, TEI-9647, is a partial antagonist of the of human vitamin D receptor (VDR). However, we found that TEI-9647 in rat cells behaves as a weak VDR agonist. This behavior could be mimicked in human cells by the double mutagenesis of human VDR (specifically C403S and C410N). The increased agonistic action of TEI-9647 correlates to a gain ...
BACKGROUND It has been hypothesised that vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms may influence both the risk of cancer occurrence and prognosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The distribution of VDR Taq I polymorphism in 64 patients with OSCC was determined by polymerase chain reaction based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and compared with that of 87 healthy controls. RESULTS T...
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (s-HPT) in uremia is characterized by decreased expression in the parathyroids of calcium sensing (CaR) and vitamin D receptors (VDR). Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is normalized despite low levels of CaR and VDR after experimental reversal of uremia. The expression of CaR in parathyroid cultures decreases rapidly. Methylation of promoter regions is often detected duri...
We previously demonstrated that extracellular calcium regulates vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression by parathyroid cells. Since the calcimimetic R-568 potentiates the effects of calcium on the calcium-sensing receptor, it was hypothesized that administration of R-568 may result in increased VDR expression in parathyroid tissue. In vitro studies of the effect of R-568 on VDR mRNA and protein wer...
INTRODUCTION In the past years, the biologically active form of vitamin D(3), 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1α,25(OH)(2)D(3)), has received large appreciation due to the broad physiological impact of the hormone and its nuclear receptor, the transcription factor vitamin D receptor (VDR). Recently, the understanding of VDR actions has progressed greatly, due to VDR crystal structures with various...
The anti-inflammatory actions of vitamin D have long been recognized and its importance in modulating colon cancer and colitis development is becoming apparent. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is downregulated in human ulcerative colitis and colitis-associated cancer (CAC); however, its status in murine models of colitis has yet to be explored. Snail and Snail2, zinc-finger transcription factors r...
Mutations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) result in target organ resistance to 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D3], the active form of vitamin D, and cause hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR). We analyzed the VDR of a patient who exhibited three genetic diseases: HVDRR, congenital total lipodystrophy, and persistent mullerian duct syndrome. The patient was treate...
