Abstract:
:It is well established that 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)), the active metabolite of vitamin D, plays a role in regulating proliferation and differentiation of cells, in addition to its classic function in mineral homeostasis. Recent studies have also provided evidence for the involvement of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) in regulating the immune system. However, therapeutic application of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) to hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer, or for immunologic purposes, is thwarted by its hypercalcemic activity. In order to overcome this obstacle, analogs of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) have been produced that exhibit decreased hypercalcemic activity while retaining the growth and immunologic regulating properties. In the present study, the efficacy of 1alpha,24(S)-dihydroxyvitamin D(2) (1alpha,24(S)(OH)(2)D(2)), a vitamin D(2) analog, in restraining cell proliferation was compared to that of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). In parallel studies, cancer cell lines were grown in increased concentrations (10(-10)-10(-7) M) of each compound for various incubation periods (1-4 days). Growth was assessed by measuring [(3)H]thymidine incorporation. The results revealed that 1alpha,24(S)(OH)(2)D(2) significantly inhibits proliferation to an extent similar to that observed for 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). Moreover, incubating the human leukemia cell line, HL-60, with 1alpha,24(S)(OH)(2)D(2) resulted in an induction of differentiation of these promyelomonocyte cells into monocyte-macrophage-like cells, in a manner similar to that observed with 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). Using a Western procedure, it was also shown that 1alpha,24(S)(OH)(2)D(2) like 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) enhances the expression of vitamin D receptors (VDR) in the rat osteosarcoma cell line, ROS 17/2.8. The expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha (TNF-alpha) in human peritoneal macrophages (HPM) obtained from uremic patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was found to be regulated by 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) as well as by 1alpha,24(S)(OH)(2)D(2). Incubations of HPM with 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) or 1alpha,24(S)(OH)(2)D(2), have inhibited the expression of TNF-alpha on both mRNA and protein levels. These results suggest that 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) has a role in controlling the rate of inflammation in the peritoneal cavity of CAPD treated patients. Since 1alpha,24(S)(OH)(2)D(2) does not cause hypercalcemia, the present results encourage the possible use of this vitamin D(2) analog in the treatment of cancer and hyper-inflammatory diseases.
