Abstract
To enzymatically synthesize vitamin D derivatives, we screened about 300 Streptomyces sp. strains. Streptomyces sclerotialus FERM BP-1370 and Streptomyces roseoporus FERM BP-1574 were found to have the ability to convert 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3, respectively, to 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. The average rates of 1 alpha hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 were 6.9 micrograms liter-1 min-1 with FERM BP-1370 and 7.0 micrograms liter-1 min-1 with FERM BP-1574. The specific cytochrome P-450 inhibitors carbon monoxide, SKF-525-A, and metyrapone inhibited the hydroxylation of 1 alpha- and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 by FERM BP-1370 and FERM BP-1574. The cytochromes P-450 of these strains were detected by reduced CO difference spectra in the whole-cell suspensions. The appearance of cytochrome P-450 suggests that the cytochromes P-450 of FERM BP-1370 and FERM BP-1574 carry out the hydroxylation of 25- and 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 to 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

Abstract
The influence of vitamin B6 deficiency on some vitamin D-dependent processes was studied in animals. The following parameters changing in relation to the level of vitamin D providing were investigated: activity of alkaline phosphatase in the serum and small intestine mucosa, the levels of Ca, P and parathormone, concentration of vitamin D metabolites and enzyme activity; and only 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OVD) concentration in the blood serum, under conditions of combined vitamin B6 and D deficiency was significantly lower as compared to cases with vitamin D deficiency alone. In the presence of vitamin B6 deficiency recovery of 25-OVD level in the blood serum, after vitamin D administration to the animals, had a tendency to delay as compared to that in the animals provided with vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 deficiency produced similar effect on 25-OVD 1-hydroxylase activity. The data obtained have evidenced a possibility of vitamin B6 influence on vitamin D metabolism.

Abstract
A rapid method for the measurement of the 24-hydroxylated metabolites of 25-hydroxy[26,27-3H]vitamin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxy[26,27-3H]vitamin D3 has been developed. This measurement has, in turn, made possible a rapid assay for the 24-hydroxylases of the vitamin D system. The assay involves the use of 26,27-3H-labeled 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 or 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 as the substrate and treatment of the enzyme reaction mixture with sodium periodate, which specifically cleaves the 24-hydroxylated products between carbons 24 and 25, releasing tritiated acetone. The acetone is measured after its separation from the labeled substrate by using a reversed-phase cartridge. The results obtained with this assay were validated by comparison with the results obtained with a well-established high-performance liquid chromatography assay. The activity of the enzyme determined by both methods was equal. This assay has been successfully used for the rapid screening of column fractions during purification of the enzyme and in the screening for monoclonal antibodies to the 24-hydroxylase.

Abstract
MC969 is an analog of the calcemic drug 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 (1 alpha-OH-D3) in which carbons 25,26, and 27 in the side chain are incorporated into a cyclopropane ring. Metabolites of MC 969 were generated in an in vitro human hepatocyte cell model, Hep 3B. The identity of the metabolites was established by comigration on HPLC with authentic standards, and by mass spectrometry of native and chemically modified metabolites. Unequivocal identification of the 24-keto- and the two epimeric 24-alcohol metabolites is provided. No 25-hydroxylated metabolites were detected. In competition studies, MC 969 was able to inhibit 25-hydroxylation of tritiated vitamin D3 more effectively than 1 alpha-OH-D3 itself, indicating that the vitamin D3-25-hydroxylase may be responsible for generation of one or more of the metabolites observed.

Abstract
Infants with extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) commonly develop rickets in infancy, whereas long-term survivors with EHBA commonly develop osteopenia with increasing age. We evaluated baseline vitamin D (D2 and D3), 25-OH vitamin D2 and D3, 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D, bone mineral content, and vitamin D2 and 25-OH vitamin D3 absorption in six infants and children (age 4-22 mo) with EHBA whose portoenterostomy failed to produce bile flow (group 1) and five infants and children (age 10/12 to 8-4/12 y) with EHBA whose portoenterostomy repair led to good postoperative bile flow (group 2). Baseline serum vitamin D2 and D3 were undetectable in all subjects in group 1 despite supplements of 2500-5000 IU/day, whereas all group 2 subjects given supplements (doses 400-5000 IU/d) had measurable levels. Baseline serum 25-OH vitamin D was less than 15 ng/mL in five of six (three with rickets) in group 1, whereas only one in group 2 had concentrations less than 15 ng/mL. A significantly blunted rise of vitamin D2 above baseline and reduced area under the absorption curve after 1000 IU/kg vitamin D2 were found in group 1 patients compared to group 2 (both p less than 0.01), and five pediatric controls (both p less than 0.01). The peak change and area under the absorption curve for serum 25-OH vitamin D3 from baseline after 10 micrograms/kg 25-OH vitamin D3 were significantly reduced for group 1 (both at least p less than 0.05) and group 2 compared to controls (both p less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D), 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [24,25(OH)2D], and 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] in bone marrow and serum of patients with leukemia and normal subjects were assayed. There were highly significant correlations between the bone marrow and serum concentrations of the respective vitamin D metabolites. Especially, the concentrations of 25-OH-D and 1,25(OH)2D in the bone marrow gave very similar values to those in serum. This is a big advantage in controlling the bone marrow levels of vitamin D metabolites in patients with leukemia, because doctors can calculate the bone marrow levels from the serum levels of the respective vitamin D metabolites without bone marrow aspiration. When 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 (1 alpha-OH-D3) was administered orally to eight patients with leukemia, clinical conditions were improved in seven patients: four complete remissions (CR), one partial response (PR), and two minor responses (MR) without severe hypercalcemia. The results suggest that the therapy with 1 alpha-OH-D3 is fairly effective for curing human leukemia although it is not dramatic.

Abstract
We investigated the in vitro metabolism of [26,27-3H]-25-(OH)D3 in different eel tissues. After incubation with [3H]-25-(OH)D3, tissues were extracted with methanol-chloroform and chromatographed on Sephadex LH 20 columns. Two derivatives less polar than 25-(OH)D3 were detected, the first one being sensitive to KOH treatment. Three peaks more polar than 25-(OH)D3 were also found: peak I migrated close to the 24,25-(OH)2D3 area and was quantitatively the most important, but the presence of 24,25-(OH)2D3 could not be demonstrated; peak II migrated in the 1,25-(OH)2D3 region; and peak III had an elution position twice that of peak II. After 6-h incubation of tissues isolated from control eels, peak I was found in all tissues including intestine and gills. It was highest in pituitary gland and brain and lowest in ovaries and muscle. It was not significantly modified 20 days after ablation of the corpuscules of Stannius. In contrast, in vivo daily calcium chloride injection was followed 24 hr later by a significant increase in the [3H]-25-(OH)D3 conversion into peak I in gills, intestine, and the spinal cord and by an inhibition of this conversion in pituitary gland, skin, and muscle. The inhibition was found in all tissues after five daily calcium injections. Calcium injection had no effect on the in vitro metabolite synthesis by the corpuscules of Stannius. These results suggest that vitamin D is not metabolized in the same way in eel as in mammals and that this metabolism could in part be calcium dependent.

Abstract
Fish-eating mammals, such as seals, appear to ingest levels of vitamin D that are toxic to most mammals. To determine how seals cope with high vitamin D intakes, the metabolism of tritiated cholecalciferol ([3H]D3) was investigated in hooded seal (Cystophora cristata) pups during their postweaning fast and pups and adults consuming herring alone or supplemented with 400,000 iu D3 daily. [3H]D3 was metabolized to 25-[3H]OHD3 and 24,25-[3H](OH)2D3. 1,25-[3H](OH)2D3 was not detected, but plasma levels of 1,25-(OH)2D were similar to those in other mammals and were not affected by vitamin D intake. Plasma vitamin D, 25-OHD and 24,25-(OH)2D increased with vitamin D intake, but 25-OHD did not increase to the extent seen in other mammals. The supplemented seals showed no evidence of toxicity. Levels of 24,25-(OH)2D were higher in the unsupplemented seals (4 to 33 ng/mL) than reported in other mammals with similar 25-OHD levels and did not decrease with 25-OHD. High levels of 24,25-(OH)2D relative to 25-OHD have also been found in hooded seals in the wild. The half-lives of vitamin D, 25-OHD and 24,25-(OH)2D were shorter than those reported for most other mammals. Increased conversion of 25-OHD to 24,25-(OH)2D and a high capacity for vitamin D storage in their large blubber mass appeared to be factors in the resistance of seals to vitamin D toxicity.

Abstract
Fifty-one healthy prepubertal schoolchildren were followed for 13 months in a double blind study. Twenty-four of them were supplemented with 400 IU of vitamin D2 5-7 times weekly, while 27 received a placebo. The children were examined in winter both at the beginning and at the end of the study, and in the middle of the study in autumn. Mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in the supplemented group were significantly higher than those in the placebo group both in autumn and in winter, when the study ended. The vitamin D supplementation did not, however, affect other vitamin D metabolites, serum calcium, albumin, inorganic phosphorus, parathyroid hormone concentrations or alkaline phosphatase activity. Moreover, the supplementation caused no alterations in the weight or height gain or bone mineral content of the distal radius of the children, and thus subclinical rickets could not be shown.

Abstract
Human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60 cells) incubated with (24R)-hydroxy[26,27-methyl-3H]calcidiol (0.2 microCi) or non-radioactive (24R)-hydroxycalcidiol (370 micrograms) produced significant quantities of two new vitamin D3 (calciol) metabolites. The metabolites were isolated from HL-60 cell culture media by methanol/chloroform extraction and a series of chromatographic procedures. The two new metabolites were identified as (5Z)- and (5E)-(24R)-19-nor-10-oxo-24-hydroxycalcidiol by HPLC analysis, ultraviolet absorption spectrophotometry, mass spectrometry and Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometry. According to the isolation and purification procedures, the total amounts of 3.04 micrograms (5Z)-(24R)-19-nor-10-oxo-24-hydroxycalcidiol (lambda max = 310 nm, epsilon = 17070 M-1 cm-1) and 8.89 micrograms (5E)-(24R)-19-nor-10-oxo-24-hydroxycalcidiol (lambda max = 312 nm, e = 24,500 M-1 cm-1) were calculated, assuming an Mr of 418. The activity of 19-nor-10-oxo-(24R)-hydroxycalcidiol to promote HL-60 cell differentiation was higher than the activity of the precursor (24R)-hydroxycalcidiol suggesting a possible biological action of this metabolite in HL-60 cells.

Abstract
The metatarsal cytochemical bioassay (CBA) for parathyroid hormone (PTH) was adapted to study interactions between PTH and certain vitamin D metabolites. Thus, while they had no effect in the system alone, both 1,25(OH)2D3 and 25(OH)D3 caused a dose-dependent potentiation of PTH-stimulated glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in the hypertrophic chondrocytes of the rat metatarsal. 1,25(OH)2D3 was about 1000 times more potent than 25(OH)D3. Specificity is indicated by the lack of a similar effect when either oestradiol or 1,24,25(OH)3D3 or a lactone derivative of 1,25(OH)2D3 was used. Furthermore, the rapidity of the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 and 25(OH)D3, within 8 minutes, favours a membranophilic mechanism rather than the conventional nuclear mechanism of steroid hormone action.

10 patients with CLL and 2 with CML were treated with gradually increasing doses of 1 alpha(OH)D3, up to 4 micrograms daily during 6 wk. 3 patients with preleukemia and 1 with myelofibrosis were treated with 2 micrograms daily of 1 alpha(OH)D3 for a prolonged period up to 17 wk. The treatment with 1 alpha (OH)D3 did not result in changes of disease parameters in any of the patients under study. Receptor studies for 1,25(OH)2D3 were performed in 8 CLL patients and revealed only 1 patient with increased specific receptor binding capacity. The maximum tolerable dose of 1 alpha(OH)D3 varied individually, but was in the range of 2-4 micrograms daily.

Abstract
Hypercalcemia developed in a patient undergoing long-term hemodialysis, and she was found to have noncaseating granulomas on lymph node biopsy. Hydroxychloroquine was administered as therapy for the hypercalcemia. Over 24 weeks of treatment with the drug, concentrations of calcium and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D returned to normal. The results demonstrate the capacity of hydroxychloroquine to inhibit the conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and emphasize the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine as an alternate to corticosteroids in the treatment of hypercalcemia of granulomatous disease. Hydroxychloroquine may be preferred when existing skeletal disease, or a predisposition to osteopenia, provides relative contraindications to corticosteroid therapy.

Abstract
Mammary explants from pregnant mouse cultured in the presence of insulin, cortisol, and PRL express their differentiated function by producing milk proteins such as casein. Sucrose density gradient analysis of high salt extract of cultured explants showed the presence of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-(OH)2D3 specific binding activity sedimenting at 3.3 S. Specific 1,25-(OH)2D3 binding activity in mammary explants varied as a function of the hormonal milieu in culture. The highest activity was found in explants cultured in the presence of insulin, cortisol, and PRL, whereas only a marginal activity was present in explants cultured with insulin. The comparison of 1,25-(OH)2D3 binding activity in explants cultured with insulin and with the three hormone combination by Scatchard plot analysis indicated that the synergistic actions of insulin, cortisol, and PRL increased the number of 1,25-(OH)2D3 specific binding proteins as much as 6-fold; however, the affinity constant of the binding protein was relatively constant in the two systems. Time course studies showed that the increase in 1,25-(OH)2D3 binding activity was detectable as early as 12 h after the addition of cortisol and PRL to insulin-primed explants. The increase was inhibited by the presence of actinomycin D and cycloheximide, suggesting that the hormonal stimulation of 1,25-(OH)2D3 binding activity involves both transcriptional and translational process. These results indicate that insulin, cortisol, and PRL stimulate the specific 1,25-(OH)2D3 binding activity during the induction of mammary functional differentiation when milk protein synthesis takes place.

Abstract
The metabolic pathway from 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3] to 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone includes the formation of 1 alpha,23,25-26-tetrahydroxyvitamin D3 [1 alpha,23,25,26-(OH)4D3]. The aim of the current study was to explore the as yet unknown biological properties of this vitamin D3 sterol. The four diastereoisomers of 1 alpha,23,25,26-(OH)4D3 were chemically synthesized. They were compared to 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 in terms of their affinity for the chick intestinal 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 receptor and their biologic activity in vivo (stimulation of intestinal calcium absorption and mobilization of calcium from bone in vitamin D-deficient rats). The 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor binding affinities of 1 alpha,23(R)25(R)26-(OH)4D3, 1 alpha,23(S)25(S)26-(OH)4 D3, 1 alpha,23(S)25(R)26-(OH)4D3, and 1 alpha,23(R)25(S)26-(OH)4D3 were 11, 100, 216, and 443 times weaker than the binding affinity of 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3, respectively. Compared to 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3, the relative capacities of the 1 alpha,23,25,26-(OH)4D3 compounds to stimulate intestinal calcium absorption were 1/4 for 1 alpha,23(R)25(R)26-(OH)4D3; 1/19 for 1 alpha,23(S)25(S)26-(OH)4D3; 1/90 for 1 alpha,23(S)25(R)26-(OH)4D3; and 1/136 for 1 alpha,23(R)25(S)26-(OH)4D3. Maximal stimulation of intestinal calcium transport occurred 8 h after administration of vitamin D3 metabolites. Mobilization of calcium from bone was quantitated by serum calcium concentration measurements. The activities of 1 alpha,23(R)25(R)26-(OH)4D3, 1 alpha,23(S)25(S)26-(OH)4D3, 1 alpha,23(S)25(R)26-(OH)4D3, and 1 alpha,23(R)25(S)26-(OH)4D3 to increase serum calcium were estimated to be 4, 13, 43, and 69 times weaker than that of 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3, respectively. These results illustrate the stereospecificity of the chicken intestine 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 receptor for binding of 1 alpha,23,25,26-(OH)4D3 and suggest that the 1 alpha,23,25,26-(OH)4D3 exerts its biological activity in the rat through an interaction with 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptors. In summary, the 1 alpha,23,25,26-(OH)4D3 had a markedly lower biological activity than 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3.

Abstract
A new method was developed for sequential sampling of bovine renal cortex. This method results in minimum hemorrhage and adhesions and provides sufficient renal cortex tissue for assay of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1 alpha-, 24-, and 23-hydroxylase activities. Application of this procedure in calves and pregnant cows treated with 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 is described. The success of these experiments suggests these techniques could be used to follow enzyme activities that control crucial aspects of vitamin D metabolism in normal peripartum cows and cows with milk fever or other diseases of mineral metabolism.

Abstract
Calcium and bone metabolism in 29 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were compared with those in 27 postmenopausal osteoporotic patients. Signs of vitamin D deficiency were found in 20 RA patients, including 12 who took recommended amounts of vitamin D in their diets and were exposed to sufficient sunlight, and in none of the osteoporotic patients. There were no signs of malabsorption. In six out of 15 patients we found increased liver enzyme activity, which may have a role in vitamin D metabolism. We propose the influence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on vitamin D metabolism in the liver as a possible explanation.

Abstract
The role of vitamin D metabolites in the regulation of hepatic 25-hydroxyvitamin D production was investigated by examining the effects of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D on the synthesis of [25-3H]hydroxyvitamin D by rachitic rat liver homogenates. Production of [25-3H]hydroxyvitamin D was inhibited by 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, but not by 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D increased the Km of the vitamin D-25-hydroxylase enzyme(s), while 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D decreased the Vmax with a Ki of 88.7 ng/ml. Inhibition of hepatic 25-hydroxyvitamin D production by 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D may be another control mechanism to regulate circulating vitamin D levels.

Abstract
The synthesis of the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH)2D), is thought to be relatively insensitive to the serum concentration of its precursor, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D). We compared the effect of oral administration of 25-OH-D3 (50 micrograms per day for one month) on serum concentrations of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, 25-OH-D, and 1,25-(OH)2D in five healthy adults and in six patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. In normal adults the mean (+/- S.D.) serum level of 25-OH-D rose from 18 +/- 9 to 136 +/- 47 ng per milliliter; no significant changes were observed in the other serum levels. In contrast, comparable increases in the levels of circulating 25-OH-D in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism caused a consistent slight rise in serum calcium and phosphate levels, a partial suppression of parathyroid hormone, and a sharp increase in the level of 1,25-(OH)2D. During this period a significant positive correlation was found between serum concentrations of 25-OH-D and 1,25-(OH)2D (P less than 0.001). These results provide evidence that in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, levels of circulating 1,25-(OH)2D may be more dependent on the prevailing serum concentrations of 25-OH-D than they are in normal adults.

Abstract
Reported are two cases of oncogenic osteomalacia, each caused by a small mesenchymal tumor, with detailed assessment of the tumors by light microscopy, electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry. One tumor was a primitive mesenchymal tumor with prominent giant cell and vascular components, and the second resembled the giant cell variant of soft parts chondroma. Osteoclast-like, multinucleated giant cells and vascularity were prominent features in both tumors. Although the literature documents a histologically heterogeneous group of tumors as causing this syndrome, most have multinucleated giant cells and/or extensive vascularity. The high incidence of these two histologic features in this group of tumors suggests that either or both may be related to the pathogenesis and/or metabolic consequences of oncogenic osteomalacia/rickets.

Abstract
The yolk sac of the pregnant rat which functions as a true placenta is a target organ for vitamin D. This tissue can hydroxylate in position 24 both 25-hydroxy- and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD3 and 1,25-(OH)2D3). The present report describes an in vitro model for the study of 1,25-(OH)2D3 action on the further metabolism of 25-OH[3H]D3 and 1,25-(OH)2[3H]D3 by yolk sac. The tissue explants were preincubated with 1,25-(OH)2D3 for 18 h in a serum-free culture medium. Physiological concentrations of 1,25-(OH)2D3 were the most effective in stimulating (7.5-fold) the 1,25-(OH)2D3 24-hydroxylase, while the 25-OHD3 24-hydroxylase stimulation (4-fold) required a 1,25-(OH)2D3 concentration of 10(-7) M. The stimulating effect of 1,25-(OH)2D3 on the 1,25-(OH)2D3 24-hydroxylase was temperature-dependent, and, since its was inhibited by actinomycin D and cycloheximide, required de novo protein synthesis. 1,24,25-(OH)3D3, 25-OHD3, and 24,25-(OH)2D3 were 10- to 1000-fold less potent than 1,25-(OH)2D3 in inducing the 1,25-(OH)2D3 hydroxylase. Our results strongly suggest that 1,25-(OH)2D3 regulated the 1,25-(OH)2D3 24-hydroxylase by a receptor-mediated process. Furthermore, 1,25-(OH)2D3 at 10(-9) M induced within 4 h an increase of its own degradation and the formation of an as yet unidentified major 1,25-(OH)2[3H]D3 metabolite. We conclude that the yolk sac can participate in the regulation of 1,25-(OH)2D3 concentration in the fetoplacental unit.
