It has been well established that human mononuclear phagocytes have the capacity to produce 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 [1,25(OH)3D3] and express the vitamin D receptor (VDR). However, 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity and VDR receptor expression during differentiation of monocytes (MO) into mature macrophages (MAC) have not been previously examined. The in vitro maturation of blood MO can serve as a model for the in vivo transformation of immature blood MO into MAC. Here, when cultured in the presence of serum, MO undergo characteristic changes in morphology, antigenic phenotype, and functional activity consistent with their differentiation into MAC. We serially measured 1,25(OH)2D3 and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24,25(OH)2D3] synthesis, specific [3H]-1,25(OH)2D3 binding, and VDR mRNA levels during in vitro maturation of MO into MAC and correlated these functions with maturation-associated changes in the phenotype (MAX.1 and CD71) and secretory repertoire (interleukin-1 beta [IL-1 beta], neopterin) of the cells. MO showed only little conversion of 25-(OH)D3 into 1,25(OH)2D3 (1.4 +/- 0.4 pmol/10(6) cells/6 h, n = 5) that increased gradually during maturation into MAC at day 8 of culture (5.3 +/- 4.3 pmol/10(6) cells/6 h, n = 5). Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) increased baseline 1,25(OH)2D3-synthesis approximately twofold during all phases of differentiation. The time course of increased 1,25(OH)2D3-synthesis correlated with enhanced secretion of neopterin and expression of MAX.1 and CD71. The addition of exogenous 1,25(OH)2D3 did not influence constitutive 1,25(OH)2D3 synthesis, but IFN-gamma-stimulated production was suppressed to baseline levels. Exogenous 1,25(OH)2D3 also stimulated 24,25(OH)2D3 synthesis in freshly isolated MO (from 1.0 +/- 0.8 pmol/6 h to 5.6 +/- 0.9 pmol), whereas matured MAC showed no 24,25(OH)2D3 synthesis. Furthermore, we examined the expression of the VDR during the differentiation process. VDR mRNA and protein were constitutively expressed in MO, whereas VDR was downregulated in mature MAC on both the mRNA and protein levels. Homologous upregulation of VDR protein by 1,25(OH)2D3 occurred in MO and, to a lesser degree, in MAC. In contrast, VDR mRNA concentrations were not influenced by 1,25(OH)2D3. Taken together, our results show that MO into MAC differentiation in vitro is associated with (1) an enhanced capacity to synthesize 1,25(OH)2D3, (2) a loss of 24,25(OH)2D3-synthesizing activity, and (3) a decrease in the expression of VDR mRNA and protein. Because 1,25(OH)2D3 was shown to induce differentiation of MO into MAC, our data sugest an autoregulatory mechanism of MO/MAC generation by 1,25(OH)2D3. 相似文献

Chromogranin-A (CgA) and PTH are the two major secretory products of the parathyroid gland. In vitro, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] increases CgA, but decreases PTH messenger RNA (mRNA) levels. We investigated the physiological significance of the induced changes in CgA expression by examining the effects of 1,25-(OH)2D3 on parathyroid CgA mRNA levels in vivo. Normal rats were injected with 1,25-(OH)2D3 at 48 and 24 h before blood sampling and isolation of both parathyroid glands. Parathyroid total RNA was extracted and CgA and PTH mRNA quantified by Northern blot analysis. CgA mRNA levels increased 1.6-, 3.2- and 5.6-fold, whereas PTH mRNA levels decreased by 37, 63 and 97%, respectively, with 1,25-(OH)2D3 doses of 10, 50, and 250 pmol/100 g BW. Parathyroid gland CgA expression also was examined in rats with mild chronic renal insufficiency, induced by a 5/6 nephrectomy 5 weeks earlier. Chronic renal insufficiency rats, fed normal chow, had elevated serum urea, creatinine, and PTH levels and reduced 1,25-(OH)2D3 but normal serum levels of calcium and phosphate. PTH mRNA levels were elevated 4-fold and CgA mRNA levels were 50% lower in the uremic animals. This indicates that the regulation of CgA expression in normocalcemic rats occurs at physiological 1,25-(OH)2D3 concentrations. In summary, increases and decreases in serum 1,25-(OH)2D3 levels are associated with corresponding increases and decreases in CgA mRNA levels in the parathyroid glands of rats. Therefore, this study is the first to demonstrate the physiological relevance of the earlier in vitro observations. 相似文献

Evidence regarding the nature of the regulatory factors which directly act upon liver cells and extra-hepatic tissues to alter CBG synthesis is scarce. The present study used cultured rat fetal hepatocytes to investigate the involvement and possible interplay in this process of several members of the nuclear receptors superfamily: vitamin D (VDR), retinoic acids (RAR/RXR) and thyroid hormones (TR). Treatment of cells with 1alpha,25-(OH)2D3 (1,25-D) elicited a dose-dependent inhibition of basal CBG concentration in culture medium. Maximum inhibition to about 15% of control level was achieved with 0.1-1.0 nM, with an IC50 of 3.8 x 10(-12) M and with no significant change in binding affinity. Differential activation of RAR and RXR with either 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA) or the RAR-selective synthetic retinoid TTNPB revealed that high doses of both drugs diminished CBG expression, though the former proved about 10-times more potent than the latter in this regard. Amplification by triiodothyronine (T3) of CBG synthesis failed to block the inhibitory effects of either 1,25-D or retinoids, as revealed by both binding capacity and mRNA measurements. Relative to CBG, 1,25-D similarly depressed the synthesis of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), while on the contrary, retinoids and T3 were shown to cause opposite effects, as 9-cis-RA and TTNPB elevated and T3 decreased AFP expression. The present findings identify for the first time ligands of VDR and RAR/RXR as powerful negative regulators of both basal and T3-stimulated CBG biosynthesis in fetal hepatocytes and suggest lack of a functional interplay between TR and VR or RAR/RXR in these processes. 相似文献

1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) receptors (VDR) are expressed in multiple tissues within the body. VDR levels are increased by 1,25(OH)2D3 in intestine and kidney and in numerous cell models. The ability of 1,25(OH)2D3 to affect VDR levels in other target tissues in vivo was studied by assessing VDR levels by the 3H-1,25(OH)2D3 binding assay under varied physiological conditions in the rat. When compared with vitamin D-deficient (-D) controls, rats raised on a normal vitamin D-sufficient (+D) diet showed elevated VDR levels in kidney (391 +/- 53 vs. 913 +/- 76 fmol/g of tissue;p < 0.05), but not in testis, heart, or lung. Up-regulation of the VDR also occurred in kidney of +D rats 1 day after a single 100-ng dose of 1,25(OH)2D3 (454 +/- 43 vs. 746 +/- 113 fmol/mg of DNA; p < 0.05), but no changes were seen in intestine, testis, or lung. Because 1,25(OH)2D3-induced hypercalcemia may independently affect VDR regulation, 1,25(OH)2D3 was infused into -D rats, and normocalcemia was maintained by reduced dietary calcium intake. In this model, the renal VDR was again up-regulated (446 +/- 115 vs. 778 +/- 58 fmol/mg of DNA; p < 0.05), but VDR levels in testis and lung were unaffected. Scatchard analysis and tests of 1,25(OH)2D3 dose (1-100 ng/day for 7 days) and temporal (100 ng/day for 1-7 days) responsiveness further supported the tissue-specific nature of the homologous VDR regulation. Assay of VDR levels by L-1-tosylamido-2-phenylethyl chloromethyl ketone-3H-1,25(OH)2D3 exchange assay ruled out differences in endogenous 1,25(OH)2D3 occupancy as the basis for the observed differences in VDR regulation. Finally, coidentity of the VDR-like sites in kidney versus testis was confirmed by competitive binding analysis comparing their relative affinities for 25(OH)D3 versus 1,25(OH)2D3 (30.5 +/- 6.4 vs. 35.6 +/- 3.6 in kidney and testis, respectively) and by immunoblot analysis using a highly specific monoclonal anti-rat VDR antibody. Thus, under a wide variety of experimental conditions, homologous up-regulation of the VDR occurs in the rat kidney in vivo, but not in several other target tissues which do not regulate plasma calcium homeostasis. Moreover, this differential VDR regulation did not result from secondary changes in plasma calcium, from differential 1,25(OH)2D3 responsiveness in the various tissues, nor from differences in endogenous 1,25(OH)2D3 occupancy of the VDR. These studies thus establish that, in contrast to observations in vitro, the widely described phenomenon of homologous VDR up-regulation in kidney and intestine is not a universal property of 1,25(OH)2D3 target tissues in vivo in the rat. 相似文献

HL60 cells differentiate to monocytes or neutrophils in response to 1 alpha,25(OH)2-vitamin D3 (D3) and retinoids respectively. D3 and retinoid actions converge since their receptors (VDR, RAR) heterodimerise with a common partner, RXR, which also interacts with thyroid hormone (T3) receptors (T3R). HL60 cells were treated with combinations of D3 and retinoids to induce differentiation and to investigate whether increased VDR or RAR expression correlated with monocyte or neutrophil differentiation and whether altered receptor concentrations affected DNA-binding specificity. As assessed by Western blotting, VDR and RXR expression was unchanged in monocytes relative to controls but levels of RAR and T3R were reduced. In contrast, only VDR expression was reduced in neutrophils. T3 did not promote differentiation or influence its induction by D3 or retinoids and did not affect expression of any receptor. Gel mobility-shift analysis revealed that nuclear extracts from undifferentiated cells, monocytes and neutrophils interacted differently with VDRE-, RARE- and RXRE-binding sites. Monocyte nuclear protein/DNA complexes contain readily detectable VDR and RXR whereas neutrophil complexes contain RAR and RXR. Thus hormone-induced changes in receptor stoichiometry favour either VDR/RXR or RAR/RXR heterodimerisation and correlate with hormone-induced differentiation of HL60 cells to monocytes or neutrophils respectively. 相似文献

This study examines the influence of chronic retroviral infection of mice with a LPBM5 virus mixture on the paracrine system involving immune cells and 1,25-(OH)2D3 in the spleen. Plasma ionized calcium, 25-(OH)D and 1,25-(OH)2D of infected mice were unchanged. In contrast, the specific binding of 1,25-(OH)2D3 to spleen cytosol and the number of monocyte/macrophages expressing 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptors (VDR) were markedly increased. The retroviral infection also influenced the local production of 1,25-(OH)2D3 in the spleen. It did not alter this production in monocyte/macrophages but increased that in isolated T cells. Isolated B cells in control mice did not produce 1,25-(OH)2D3, but they increased the ability of isolated T cells to produce this metabolite during coculture incubations. Infection altered this cell interaction as 1,25-(OH)2D3 production in infected T cells decreased when these cells were cocultured with infected B cells. Thus, chronic retroviral infection alters both the local vitamin D metabolism and VDR expression by immune cells in mice. These findings suggest close local interactions between 1,25-(OH)2D3 and immune system activation during retroviral infection. 相似文献
