Full textAbstract:
Resistance to vitamin D in magnesium depletion has been observed in humans and in animal studies. Variable levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] have been reported in patients with magnesium depletion, and studies of vitamin D metabolism in states of magnesium depletion have not yielded consistent results. We examined effects of magnesium deprivation on circulating 1,25(OH)2D levels before and after a loading dose of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3], on in vivo conversion of small doses of radiolabeled 25(OH)D3 to 1,25(OH)2D3 in intact rats, and on in vitro 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1 alpha-hydroxylase (1 alpha-hydroxylase) activity in rat renal mitochondria. The effects of magnesium-free media on mitochondrial 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity was examined. Magnesium depletion did not affect in vivo conversion of 25(OH)D to 1,25(OH)2D. In vitro 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity was comparable in magnesium-replete and -deplete animals and was evident in the absence of added magnesium in incubation media. Our in vivo and in vitro studies are consistent with one another and demonstrate that in the rat conversion of 25(OH)D to 1,25(OH)2D is unimpaired in magnesium deficiency. Resistance to vitamin D in magnesium depletion is likely due to the impaired skeletal responsivity to 1,25(OH)2D, as demonstrated in earlier studies.

We investigated the time course of the development of renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1-hydroxylase and 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-hydroxylase in chick embryos grown in the presence and absence of the eggshell. In embryos with the eggshell, the specific activity (SA) of 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1-hydroxylase in kidney homogenates increased from 0.68 fmol X min-1 X mg protein-1 at 12 days of gestation to a peak of 2.55 +/- 0.50 fmol X min-1 X mg-1 protein-1 at 17 days. In contrast, the SA of 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-hydroxylase decreased from 2.5 fmol X min-1 X mg protein-1 to 0.90 +/- 0.25 fmol X min-1 X mg protein-1 during the interval. The total plasma calcium was significantly reduced in embryos without shells at 14 to 15 days of gestation (1.1 +/- 0.1 mM, mean +/- SE) compared with normal embryos of the same gestation (2.3 +/- 0.3 mM, P less than 0.002). In embryos without the eggshell, renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1-hydroxylase increased from 6.0 to 8.2 +/- 0.6 fmol X min-1 X mg protein-1 at 17 days of gestation and was from four- to sixfold higher than corresponding enzymatic activities for intact embryos. The increased enzyme activity resulting from loss of the eggshell was due to an increase in Vmax. The findings indicate that renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1-hydroxylase and 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-hydroxylase in the chick embryo exhibit activity and show a large capacity for regulation in response to changes in calcium metabolism.

Full textAbstract:
Cytochrome P-450 catalysing 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 was purified from pig kidney microsomes. The enzyme fraction contained 7 nmol of cytochrome P-450/mg of protein and showed only one protein band with an apparent Mr of 50,500 upon SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The purified cytochrome P-450 catalysed 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 up to 1,000 times more efficiently, and 25-hydroxylation of 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 up to 4000 times more efficiently, than the microsomes. The cytochrome P-450 required microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase for catalytic activity. Mitochondrial ferredoxin and ferredoxin reductase could not replace microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase. The enzyme preparation showed no detectable 25-hydroxylase activity towards vitamin D2 or 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity towards 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. CO inhibited the 25-hydroxylation by more than 85%. Mannitol, hydroquinone, catalase and superoxide dismutase did not affect the 25-hydroxylation. The possible role of the kidney microsomal cytochrome P-450 in the metabolism of vitamin D3 is discussed.

Abstract Objectives: 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 1-alpha-hydroxylase (CYP27B1) catalyzes the hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) to 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), the bioactive form of vitamin D3. Our previous studies suggested that oleanolic acid (OA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid presents in many food and herbs, can improve circulating 1,25(OH)2D3 in ovariectomized (OVX) mice and increase CYP27B1 expression in human renal proximal tubular cells (HKC-8). However, the role of OA in regulating CYP27B1 in bone is far from clear. The present study is designed to study the effects of OA on CYP27B1 expressions and 1,25(OH)2D3 production in bone cells. Methods: The mRNA and protein expressions of CYP27B1, as well as bone metabolism markers were determined in osteoblast-like UMR-106 cells in response to treatments of parathyroid hormone (PTH) (10–7 M) or OA (10–9 - 10–5 M) for 24 hours. By using excessive 25(OH)D3 (10–6 M) as substrate, cellular production of 1,25(OH)2D3 was measured to determine CYP27B1 activity. To mimic the physiological condition, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were pre-treated with 25(OH)D3 (10–7 M) for 12 hours, followed by OA treatment (10–9 - 10–6 M) for another 24 hours, the osteogenic effects of OA on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and CYP27B1 expression were evaluated. Results: PTH (10–7 M, p<0.001) and OA (10–9 M, p<0.05) significantly upregulated mRNA and protein expressions of CYP27B1 in UMR-106 cells. 4-hour treatments of PTH (10–7 M) and OA (10–9 M) also stimulated the 1,25(OH)2D3 production by 46.02 % (p<0.001) and 17.60 % (p<0.01), respectively. Moreover, the mRNA expressions of ALP and osteocalcin (OCN) involved in osteoblast differentiation, were upregulated in response to PTH and OA in UMR-106 cells (p<0.05). The protein expression of CYP27B1 was upregulated by treatment with OA in hMSCs supplemented with 25(OH)D3 (10–8 M, p<0.05 vs. supplement alone). Furthermore, OA (10–8 M) potentiated the effects of 25(OH)D3 on osteogenesis in hMSCs by enhancing ALP activity by 47.77 % (p<0.01). Conclusions: Our results indicated that the bone anabolic effects of OA are associated with its actions to improve local bioactivation of vitamin D3 in osteoblasts and hMSCs, suggesting the involvement of paracrine or autocrine activities of 1,25(OH)2D3 in mediating the actions of OA in bone.

Full textAbstract:
We investigated the 1 alpha-hydroxylation of vitamin D3 sterols by cultured pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAM) from patients with sarcoidosis with or without clinically abnormal calcium homeostasis. Like the naturally occurring renal 1 alpha-hydroxylase, the PAM 1 alpha-hydroxylation reaction exhibited a high affinity for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH-D3) and a preference for substrates containing a 25-hydroxyl group in the side chain of the sterol. Unlike the renal enzyme, the PAM 1 alpha-hydroxylating mechanism was not accompanied by 24-hydroxylating activity, even after preincubation with 75 nM 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2-D3] or exposure to high concentrations of substrate (500 nM 25-OH-D3). The PAM 25-OH-D3-1 alpha-hydroxylation reaction was stimulated by gamma interferon and inhibited by exposure to the glucocorticoid dexamethasone. The characteristics of the PAM hydroxylation process in vitro appear to reflect the efficiency of the extrarenal production of 1,25-(OH)2-D3 and the therapeutic efficacy of glucocorticoids in patients with sarcoidosis and disordered calcium metabolism.

Full textAbstract:
Androgens act in concert with vitamin D to influence reabsorption of calcium. However, it is unclear whether androgens directly regulate vitamin D homeostasis or control other cellular events that are related to vitamin D metabolism. To examine whether the expression of vitamin D-related genes in mouse kidney is driven by androgens or androgen-dependent effects, the androgen receptor and other sex steroid receptors were monitored in orchidectomized mice treated with 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Our results revealed that exposing orchidectomized mice to DHT inhibited the expression of progesterone receptor (Pgr) with or without estrogen receptor α expression, the latter was confirmed by ER-positive (MCF7 and T47D) or -negative (PCT) cells analysis. The loss of Pgr in turn decreased the expression of renal 24-hydroxylase via transcriptional regulation because Cyp24a1 gene has a progesterone receptor-binding site on promoter. When male kidneys preferentially hydroxylate 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 using 24-hydroxylase rather than 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-1-alpha hydroxylase, DHT suppressed the Pgr-mediated 24-hydroxylase expression, and it is important to note that DHT increased the blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels. These findings uncover an important link between androgens and vitamin D homeostasis and suggest that therapeutic modulation of Pgr may be used to treat vitamin D deficiency and related disorders.

Full textAbstract:
To understand the relationships among 1) the dose of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in vivo, 2) the activity of 1-hydroxylase in renal mitochondria, and 3) the production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] in vivo, we gave rats different chronic or acute doses of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3]. We followed the metabolism of intracardially administered [25-hydroxy-26,27-methyl-3H]cholecalciferol [25(OH)[3H]D3] for 24 h before killing by measuring extracts of serum by chromatography. Specific activity of 1-hydroxylase in kidney was measured at death. In rats given 0-2,000 pmol 25(OH)D3 chronically by mouth, there was a dose-dependent decline in the percent of serum radioactivity made up of 1,25-dihydroxy-[26,27-methyl-3H]cholecalciferol [1,25(OH)2[3H]D3] as well as a decline in mitochondrial 1-hydroxylase, and these correlated significantly (r = 0.83, P less than 0.001). Serum %1,25(OH)2[3H]D3 in this experiment ranged from 0.8 to 42%. A small part of this range could be accounted for by a faster metabolic clearance rate (MCR) of 1,25(OH)2D3 from rats supplemented with 25(OH)D3 (MCR, 2.12 +/- 0.10 ml/min) compared with rats restricted in vitamin D (MCR, 0.94 +/- 0.06 ml/min, P less than 0.001). The activity of 1-hydroxylase was by far the major factor determining serum %1,25(OH)2[3H]D3. When different acute doses of 25(OH)D3 were given to rats with identical specific activities of 1-hydroxylase, the resulting 1,25(OH)2D3 concentrations in serum correlated with the 25(OH)D3 dose (r = 0.99, P less than 0.001). We conclude that the behavior of 1-hydroxylase in vivo is analogous to the classic behavior in vitro of an enzyme functioning below its Michaelis constant (Km). The amount of 1-hydroxylase present in renal mitochondria determines the fraction (not simply the quantity) of 25(OH)D metabolized to 1,25(OH)2D3 in vivo.

Full textAbstract:
The Hyp mouse is a homologue of the X chromosome-linked human disease, familial hypophosphatemic rickets (FHR). In FHR, reduced renal tubular brush-border membrane transport of phosphate results in hypophosphatemia and rickets. Both humans with FHR and Hyp mice have abnormal regulation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1 alpha-hydroxylase (1 alpha-hydroxylase), a mitochondrial enzyme found in proximal renal tubular cell epithelia, the apparent site of defective brush-border membrane phosphate transport. No common pathophysiology for these defects has been demonstrated. We hypothesized that phosphate transport may be present in renal mitochondria from Hyp mice and that its regulation may be deranged in parallel with the mitochondrial 1 alpha-hydroxylase. Using inhibitor-stop techniques described for measurement of phosphate transport in liver mitochondria, we examined mitochondria in normal and Hyp mouse kidney and found them to be comparable. We performed manipulations known to alter 1 alpha-hydroxylase differentially in normal and Hyp mice, i.e., phosphorus deprivation and phosphorus loading, and found no effect on mitochondrial phosphate transport. We also subjected Hyp and normal mice to calcium and vitamin D deprivation; this maneuver resulted in no significant changes in mitochondrial phosphate transport in Hyp or normal mice but confirmed the earlier observation that 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity is stimulated to a greater degree in normal mice than Hyp mice after this diet. Furthermore, administration of 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D3 depresses 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity in mitochondria from both normal and Hyp mice but has no effect on mitochondrial phosphate transport. We conclude that the mechanism of abnormal vitamin D metabolism in Hyp mice is not related to a primary defect in renal mitochondrial phosphate transport.

Full textAbstract:
Wilson's disease results in excess tissue accumulation of copper and is often complicated by skeletal and mineral abnormalities. We investigated vitamin D metabolism in rats fed a copper-laden diet rendering hepatic copper content comparable with that found in Wilson's disease. Injection of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] resulted in reduced 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] levels in copper-intoxicated rats. In vitro 25(OH)D-1 alpha-hydroxylase activity was impaired in renal mitochondria from copper-intoxicated animals. Activity was also inhibited in mitochondria from controls when copper was added to incubation media. Impaired conversion of 25(OH)D to 1,25(OH)2D occurs in copper intoxication and suggests that altered vitamin D metabolism is a potential factor in the development of bone and mineral abnormalities in Wilson's disease.

Full textAbstract:
To characterize further the mechanism(s) underlying the increased serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] concentration associated with lactation in the rat, we examined hormone biosynthesis [i.e., renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1 alpha-hydroxylase (1 alpha-hydroxylase) activity] and hormone disappearance in groups of lactating Holtzman rats and age- and sex-matched nonlactating controls. 1 alpha-Hydroxylase activity was significantly greater in kidneys from lactating rats (4.0 +/- 0.42 fmol.mg-1.min-1) on a basal diet than in those from nonmated females (1.4 +/- 0.08 fmol.mg-1.min-1), an increment sufficient to account for the observed fourfold elevation of 1,25(OH)2D3 in the dams. The increase occurs despite the lower serum 1,25(OH)2D3 levels in lactating than in nonlactating rats at 12 and 24 h after a bolus injection of 1,25(OH)2D3 (2 ng/g body wt). Elevation of serum 1,25(OH)2D3 is not a requisite consequence of lactation, however, because dams receiving supplemental calcium from food (1.6%) and water (0.3%) exhibited no increase of either serum 1,25(OH)2D3 or 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity compared with controls. In contrast, lactating rats that received a diet with only 0.1% calcium had 5-fold higher serum 1,25(OH)2D3 levels and 20-fold higher 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity than nonlactating rats on the same diet. We conclude that other factors in conjunction with lactation, but not the lactating state per se, promote the changes in 1,25(OH)2D3 metabolism observed.

Full textAbstract:
The CYP27B1 enzyme that synthesizes 1alpha,25-(OH) 2D, is expressed in chondrocytes, suggesting that local production of 1alpha,25-(OH)2D could play an autocrine or paracrine role in the differentiation of these cells. To test this hypothesis, we have engineered mutant mice that do not express the Cyp27b1 gene in chondrocytes. This led to increased width of the hypertrophic zone of the growth plate at E15.5, increased bone mass in neonatal long bones, and increased expression of the chondrocytic differentiation markers Indian Hedgehog and PTH/PTHrP receptor. VEGF mRNA levels were decreased, accompanied by decreased PECAM-1 immunostaining, suggesting a delay in vascularization. We have also engineered mice overexpressing a Cyp27b1 transgene in chondrocytes. The transgenic mice showed a partial mirror image phenotype compared to the tissue-specific inactivation model. These results support an autocrine/paracrine role of 1alpha,25-(OH) 2D in endochondral ossification and chondrocyte development in vivo.The CYP24A1 enzyme is involved in the catabolic breakdown of 1alpha,25-(OH)2D but also synthesizes the 24R,25-(OH) 2D metabolite. Studies in chicken suggest a role for 24R,25-(OH) 2D in fracture repair. We induced stabilized transverse mid-diaphysial fractures of the tibia in four-month-old wild-type and Cyp24a1-deficient mice. Examination of the callus sections showed delayed hard callus formation in the homozygous mutant animals compared to wild-type littermates. RT-qPCR showed perturbed levels of type X collagen transcripts in mutant mice at 14 and 21 days post-fracture, reflecting the delayed healing. Rescue of the impaired healing by subcutaneous injection of 24R,25-(OH)2D3 normalized the histological appearance of the callus, static histomorphometric index and type X collagen mRNA expression, while 1alpha,25-(OH)2D 3 did not. These results show that Cyp24a1 deficiency delays fracture repair and strongly suggest that vitamin D metabolites hydroxylated at position 24, such as 24R,25-(OH)2D, play an important role in the mechanisms leading to normal fracture healing.
