Transcription of the CYP24 (25-hydroxyvitamin D(3)-24-hydroxylase) gene is known to be induced by 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). We studied the induction kinetics in detail in human skin-derived fibroblasts. While the basal transcription of this gene was very low, addition of 1,25(OH)2D3 increased the mRNA level by 50-fold within 1h. The induction reached as high as 20000-fold after 12h. DNA microarray analysis also indicated that the induction ratio of the CYP24 gene is exceptionally high among 3800 human genes examined. The increase of mRNA was caused by stimulation of the transcription, but not by stabilization of mRNA. 24(R),25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25(OH)2D3), a compound metabolically related to 1,25(OH)2D3, also stimulated the CYP24 gene transcription, though at much higher concentrations. However, this stimulation was significantly augmented by synergistic actions of 24,25(OH)2D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3, suggesting that 24,25(OH)2D3 or its metabolites might be playing some roles in the regulation of CYP24 gene transcription.

The progressive neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) is accompanied by neuroinflammation and endothelial vascular impairment. Although the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in both dopamine neurons and brain endothelial cells, its role in the regulation of endothelial biology has not been explored in the context of PD. In a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced PD mouse model, we observed reduced transcription of the VDR and its downstream target genes, and .

25-Hydroxyvitamin D-3β-glucuronic acid (25OHD-Gluc) is produced in the liver and is a constituent of human blood and bile. Bacterial glucuronidases (GUS) in mammalian digestive microbiota cleave glucuronide conjugates, such as 25OHD-Gluc, and release the free aglycone (i.e.

Objectives: Supplementation provides the best means of improving vitamin D status; however, individual responses vary partly owing to genetics. The aim of this study was to determine whether 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in six key vitamin D pathway genes (GC, DHCR7, CYP2 R1, CYP24 A1, CYP27 B1, VDR) were associated with differences in response to supplementation.
Methods: Participants (N = 313; n = 160 vitamin D, n = 153 placebo) were part of VIDARIS (Vitamin D and Acute Respiratory Infections Study), a double-blind, randomized controlled trial involving oral monthly supplementation of either vitamin D (200 000 IU each for the first 2 mo, thereafter 100 000 IU monthly) or placebo for 18 mo.

Skeletal toxicity has been reported following exposure to polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixtures. However, molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. We exposed groups of male 4-5-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats to 3,3', 4, 4', 5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 126), a dioxin-like coplanar PCB congener by a single i.

Excessive fat accumulation has been considered as a major contributing factor for muscle mitochondrial dysfunction and its associated metabolic complications. The purpose of present study is to investigate a role of vitamin D in muscle fat accumulation and mitochondrial changes. In differentiated C2C12 muscle cells, palmitic acid (PA) was pretreated, followed by incubation with 1,25-dihyroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) for 24 h.
