Without 1?-hydroxylation, the gene expression profile of 25(OH)D3 treatment overlaps deeply with that of 1,25(OH)2D3 in prostate cancer cells.


ABSTRACT: Recently, the antiproliferative action of 1,25(OH)2D3 (1,25D3), an active metabolite of vitamin D3, in the management of prostate cancer has been argued rigorously. In this study, we found that at a physiological concentration, 25(OH)D3 (25D3), the precursor of 1,25D3 and an inactive form of vitamin D because of its much weaker binding activity to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) compared with 1,25D3, had a gene expression profile similar to that of 1,25D3 in prostate cancer LNCaP cells. By immunocytochemistry, western blotting, and CYP27B1 and/or VDR knockdown by small interfering RNAs, we found that 10-7?M 25D3, which is within its uppermost physiological concentration in the bloodstream, induced VDR nuclear import and robustly activated its target genes in the virtual absence of CYP27B1 expression. Comprehensive microarray analyses verified 25D3 bioactivity, and we found that 25D3 target gene profiles largely matched those of 1,25D3, while the presence a small subset of 25D3- or 1,25D3-specific target genes was not excluded. These results indicated that 25D3 shares bioactivity with 1,25D3 without conversion to the latter. Metallothionein 2A was identified as a 1,25D3-specific repressive target gene, which might be a prerequisite for 1,25D3, but not 25D3, to exert its anti-proliferative action in LNCaP cells.
