Abstract:
:The constitutive expression of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-24-hydroxylase (25-(OH)D3-24-hydroxylase) activity has been studied in an adherent variant (Ad-HL60) of the human promyelomonocytic leukaemia cell line HL60. The Ad-HL60 cells have a more differentiated phenotype than the non-adherent cells from which they were derived, and synthesized 1.88 +/- 0.07 (+/- S.E.M.) pmol 24,25-(OH)2D3/h per 10(6) cells following culture in RPMI-1640 medium containing less than 0.02 nM 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3. They also synthesized 1.66 +/- 0.05 pmol 24,25-(OH)2D3/h per 10(6) cells following culture in 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-free medium supplemented with 1 g bovine serum albumin/l instead of 10% serum. In contrast, non-adherent HL60 cells required exposure to 10-100 nM 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 to induce equivalent 24,25-(OH)2D3 synthesis. The 25-(OH)D3-24-hydroxylase expressed by Ad-HL60 cells had an apparent Michaelis constant of 1 microM and maximal rate of 20 pmol/h per 10(6) cells with substrate concentrations from 0.012 to 1.2 microM/incubation (5-500 ng/ml). Furthermore, 24,25-(OH)2D3 synthesis was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by ketoconazole (0.01-10 microM), suggesting that the enzyme is cytochrome P-450 dependent. Ad-HL60 cells expressed approximately 3500 specific receptors for 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3/cell with a dissociation constant of 40 pM. Following exposure to 0.1-100 nM 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3, Ad-HL60 cell proliferation was significantly inhibited compared with controls grown in medium containing less than 0.02 nM 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 for 96 h. Expression of 25-(OH)D3-24-hydroxylase was also inhibited in a dose- and time-dependent manner; however, expression of nonspecific esterase was not induced. Both of these findings are contrary to those previously demonstrated for non-adherent HL60 cells, whereas the dose-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation by 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 occurs in both adherent and non-adherent phenotypes. These observations on Ad-HL60 cells represent the first description of a cell type in which 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 appears to inhibit 25-(OH)D3-24-hydroxylase activity. The Ad-HL60 cells also constitutively metabolized 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 in a manner consistent with formation of 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 without previous exposure to 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3. In contrast, many other cell types, including non-adherent HL60 cells, require exposure to 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 to induce metabolism of 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 to 1 alpha,24,25-(OH)3D3, a reaction that represents the initial step for catabolism of 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 to calcitroic acid.
