The anti-cancer actions of vitamin D.
Vitamin D3 is biologically inert. To become active, it requires two successive hydroxylation steps catalyzed by two cytochrome P450 enzymes, first to synthesize the pro-hormone 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] and then the active hormone 1α,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3]. 1α,25(OH)2D3 has high affinity for the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a transcription factor and a member of the steroid r...
متن کاملPrimary Human Osteoblasts in Response to 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and 24R,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3
The most biologically active metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) has well known direct effects on osteoblast growth and differentiation in vitro. The precursor 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) can affect osteoblast function via conversion to 1,25(OH)2D3, however, it is largely unknown whether 25(OH)D3 can affect primary osteoblast function on its own. Furthermore, 25(OH)D3 is not o...
متن کاملEffects of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and Digitoxin in Prostate Cancer Cells
Prostate cancer is the most occurring form of cancer in men in Sweden and new candidates for treatment towards advanced phases of prostate cancer needs to be investigated. One suggested treatment is vitamin D which will mediate effect via VDR and PDIA3 and cause cell cycle arrest. Another treatment is digitoxin which will cause accumulation of intracellular Ca leading to apoptosis. The aim of t...
متن کاملDifferential expression of vitamin D-associated enzymes and receptors in brain cell subtypes
Accumulating evidence indicates that the active form of vitamin D, 1,25(OH)2D3, can be considered as a neurosteroid. However, the cerebral expression of vitamin D-associated enzymes and receptors remains controversial. With the idea of carrying out a comparative study in mind, we compared the transcript expression of Cyp27a1, Cyp27b1, Cyp24a1, Vdr and Pdia3 in purified cultures of astrocytes, e...
متن کاملPhotochemistry and Photobiology, 2005, 81: 1246–1251 Symposium-in-Print UV Radiation, Vitamin D and Human Health: An Unfolding Controversy The Vitamin D3 Pathway in Human Skin and its Role for Regulation of Biological Processes
The skin is the only tissue yet known in which the complete ultraviolet-B (UV-B)–induced pathway from 7-dehydrocholesterol to hormonally active calcitriol (1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) occurs under physiological conditions. Epidermal synthesis of calcitriol could be of fundamental relevance because calcitriol regulates important cellular functions in keratinocytes and immunocompetent cells. Becau...
