Abstract
It has become readily apparent to many scientists and pharmaceutical companies that the vitamin D endocrine system offers a wide array of drug development opportunities. There are already successes, as noted by 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 (Roche, and Abbott) for renal osteodystrophy and osteoporosis and 1alpha(OH)D3 (Leo, Chugai, Teijin) for renal osteodystrophy and (in Japan) osteoporosis, 1alpha,24(OH)2-24-cyclopropyl-D3 (Dovonex) and 1alpha,24(OH)2D3 (Teijin) for psoriasis, and 19-nor-1alpha,25(OH)2D2 (Abbott) for renal osteodystrophy, as well as drugs under active development. Yet there are still many important and challenging drug development frontiers, particularly in the area of cancer treatment and immune system disorders where exploration is only in the initial early stages. In addition, the application of vitamin D-related drugs in neurology and brain pathology should not be overlooked. It is to be hoped that the cellular and molecular basis for the vexing problem of analog-induced hypercalcemia will be elucidated. Given that there are believed to be over 2000 analogs of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 already available for consideration, it is to be expected that over the next decade a significant number of new vitamin D structure-function drug development projects will be brought to conclusion.

Abstract
In the three decades since the original discovery of receptors for steroid hormones, much has been learned about the biochemical processes by which these regulatory agents exert their effects in target tissues. The intracellular receptor proteins are potential transcription factors, needed for optimal gene expression in hormone-dependent cells. They are present in an inactive form until association with the hormone converts them to a functional state that can react with target genes. Transformation of the receptor protein to the nuclear binding form appears to involve the removal of both macromolecular and micromolecular factors that act to keep the receptor form reacting with DNA. Much of the native receptor is present in the nucleus, loosely bound and readily extractable, but for some and possibly all steroid hormones, some receptor is in the cytoplasm, perhaps in equilibrium with a nuclear pool. Methods have been developed for the stabilization, purification, and characterization of receptor proteins, and through cloning and sequencing of their cDNAs, primary structures for these receptors are now known. This has led to the recognition of structural similarities among the family of receptors for the different steroid hormones and to the identification of regions in the protein molecule responsible for the various aspects of their function. Monoclonal antibodies recognizing specific molecular domains are available for most receptors. Despite the knowledge that has been acquired, many important questions remain unsolved. How does association with the steroid remove factors keeping the receptor protein in its native state, and how does binding of the transformed receptor to the response element in the promoter region enhance gene transcription? Once it has converted the receptor to the nuclear binding state, is there a further role for the steroid in modulating transcription? Still not entirely clear is the involvement of phosphorylation and/or dephosphorylation in hormone binding, receptor transformation, and transcriptional activation. Less vital to basic understanding but important in the overall picture is whether the native receptors for gonadal hormones are entirely confined to the nucleus or whether there is an intracellular distribution equilibrium. With the effort now being devoted to this field, and with the application of new experimental techniques, especially those of molecular biology, our understanding of receptor function is progressing rapidly. The precise mechanism of steroid hormone action should soon be completely established.

Abstract
Two metabolites have been isolated from rat renal microsomes incubated with 25-hydroxycholecalciferol. Postmitochondrial supernatant fractions from kidneys of thyroidectomized and parathyroidectomized rats were incubated with magnesium acetate, potassium acetate, an NADPH generating system, and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol at a level of 20 micrograms/ml postmitochondrial supernatant for 60 min at 30 degrees C. Lipid extracts of the incubation mixtures were purified by silica gel TLC and HPLC. Two peaks were obtained. Metabolite chi 2 eluted at 18 min and metabolite chi 1 at 23 min when chromatographed on a silica column developed with hexane-isopropanol. Metabolites chi 1 and chi 2 were found to have maximal absorbance at 265 nm. Both metabolites were periodate sensitive, indicating vicinal hydroxyl groups. Mass spectral analysis of metabolite chi 2, which was isolated in greater quantity than metabolite chi 1, indicates that metabolite chi 2 had resulted from hydroxylation of the A ring. Results indicate that 25-hydroxycholecalciferol is hydroxylated on carbon 2 or carbon 4 by renal microsomes. Metabolites chi 1 and chi 2, because of similarity in chromatographic migration and periodate sensitivity, are, perhaps, isomers or 2- and 4-hydroxylated metabolites.

Abstract
Evidence from autoradiographic studies with 3H 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 (soltriol) about its many sites of nuclear binding and multiple actions suggests that the traditional view of "vitamin D and calcium" is too limited and requires modification. A new concept has been developed which proposes that the skin-derived hormone of sunshine, soltriol, is a somatotrophic activator and modulator that affects all vital systems. Regulation of calcium homeostasis is only one of its many actions. Target tissues for soltriol include not only bone, intestine and kidney, but also brain, spinal cord, pituitary, thyroid, endocrine pancreas, adrenal medulla, enteroendocrine cells, thymus, and male and female reproductive organs. Accordingly, actions of soltriol involve effects on autonomic and endocrine regulation with changes in tissue and blood hormone levels, innervation of skeletal muscle, immune and stress response, digestion, blood formation, fertility, pregnancy and lactation, general energy metabolism, mental processes and mood, and others. The skin-mediated transduction of short-wave sunlight induces a purposeful modulation of growth, reproduction and other biological activities in tune with the conditions of the sun cycle and season. Synthesis and actions of vitamin D3-soltriol are dependent not only on the amount of sunlight, but also on the availability of precursor in the skin and access of sunlight, the rate of hydroxylation in liver and kidney, and the modulation of these events by the endocrine status, in particular growth and reproduction. A concept of a five-level control of soltriol synthesis is proposed, in which the hydroxylation steps provide for a sensitive tuning. Relationships between the heliogenic skin-derived hormonal system and the helioprivic pineal-derived hormonal system are recognized and a comprehensive concept of the "endocrinology of sunlight and darkness" is pointed out.

Abstract
Recent information has shed a new light on the control of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion by calcium and 1,25-(OH)2D. These new data have permitted a better understanding of the pathogenesis and management of secondary hyperparathyroidism in end-stage renal disease. Emerging evidence has suggested a role for secondary hyperparathyroidism in the development of certain forms of hypertension and osteoporosis. Recent insights have been obtained regarding the occurrence of secondary hyperparathyroidism in obese and black subjects, in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type I, and in manic-depressive patients receiving lithium therapy. This review examines some of these recent gains in knowledge concerning secondary hyperparathyroidism, as well as their clinical implications.

Abstract
In vitro 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25(OH)2D3) decreased levels of preproparathyroid(preproPTH) hormone mRNA. We have now pursued these studies in vivo in the rat. Rats were administered vitamin D metabolites i.p. and the levels of preproPTH mRNA were determined in excised parathyroid-thyroid glands by blot hybridization. PreproPTH mRNA levels were less than 4% of basal at 48 h after 100 pmol 1,25(OH)2D3, with no increase in serum calcium. Gel blots showed that 1,25(OH)2D3 decreased preproPTH mRNA levels without any change in its size (833 basepair). Microdissected parathyroids after 1,25(OH)2D3 (100 pmol) showed mRNA levels for preproPTH were 40 +/- 8% of controls, but for beta-actin were 100% of controls. The relative potencies of vitamin D metabolites were: 1,25(OH)2D3 greater than 24,25(OH)2D3 greater than 25(OH)D3 greater than vitamin D3. In vitro nuclear transcription showed that 1,25(OH)2D3-treated (100 pmol) rats' PTH transcription was 10% of control, while beta-actin was 100%. These results show that 1,25(OH)2D3 regulates PTH gene transcription. PTH stimulates 1,25(OH)2D3 synthesis, which then inhibits PTH synthesis, thus completing an endocrinological feedback loop.

Abstract
We have recently determined that high calcium concentrations, in parallel with their suppressive effects on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, reversibly and specifically decrease preproPTH mRNA in cultured bovine parathyroid cells. In order to determine whether vitamin D metabolites also regulate the content of preproPTH mRNA, we tested their effects on bovine parathyroid cells in the same culture system. Levels of preproPTH mRNA were determined by dot-blot hybridization or blot hybridization with a labeled cloned cDNA probe. Incubation with 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol at doses varying from 10 pM to 0.1 microM caused a direct decrease in mRNA down to 50% of control values at 48 hr. There was no evidence that 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, even at the highest concentrations, had any toxic effects on cell number or viability or on total RNA or RNA synthesis. Levels of alpha-actin mRNA did not change in the same experiments, and the suppression of preproPTH mRNA was reversible. When the relative potency of various vitamin D metabolites in suppressing preproPTH mRNA was evaluated, 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol greater than 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol greater than 25-hydroxycholecalciferol greater than vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). These effects were highly specific and suggest that vitamin D metabolites play an important role in regulating the production of PTH.

Abstract
It is now established that avians can only utilize the cholecalciferol form of vitamin D, which must be converted to the hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] to perform normal calcium metabolism. Although 1,25(OH)2D3 is the final active form of vitamin D, hens fed only this form of vitamin D do not have normal hatchability of eggs. The problem appears to be caused by abnormal calcification and development of the embryonic beak. This appears to be caused by inadequate transport of 1,25(OH)2D3 into the egg. Although 1,25(OH)2D3 is not incorporated into the egg adequately, its precursor, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH-D3), is. The developing embryo however, can utilize 1,25(OH)2D and does so at least as early as Day 10 of incubation. During periods of maximal shell calcification and high circulating estradiol levels, the hen produces high levels of 1,25(OH)2D3. The kidney hydroxylase responsible for the final hydroxylation of the vitamin D hormone can be further stimulated by in vivo or in vitro administration of estradiol and, to a lesser extent, prolactin and parathyroid hormone. When eggs are not produced, as in the senescent or prepubertal stages of life, plasma 1,25(OH)2D3 concentrations are less than half that occurring during periods of active lay. Hens selected for their ability to produce thin or thick shells have 1,25(OH)2D3 concentrations in plasma that are positively correlated to their ability to produce egg shell.

Abstract
Kidney microsomes from vitamin D-deficient rats and from thyroparathyroidectomized rats converted 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to an unidentified metabolite. The addition of the cytosolic fraction enhanced microsomal synthesis of this metabolite two-fold. The kinetics of the conversion in the presence of the cytosolic fraction was allosteric, suggesting that the enzyme responsible for synthesis of this metabolite might serve some role in the regulation of vitamin D metabolism. Microsomes from vitamin D-fed thyroparathyroidectomized rats also produced a second metabolite, tentatively identified as 25,26-dihydroxyvitamin D3 because of its comigration with 25,26-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in three different chromatographic systems.

Abstract
The vitamin D-dependent calcium binding protein (CaBP) of chick duodenum has been localized by immunocytochemistry and by radioimmunoassay. Light microscopically, CaBP was seen to be present in the absorptive cells of the villi while in other cell types of the villi and the crypts, including goblet cells and endocrine cells, no CaBP was seen. At the electron microscopic level, CaBP was shown to be localized in the cytosol and the euchromatin of the nucleus but not in membrane-bounded cytoplasmic compartments. Quantitative evaluation of the immunocytochemical protein A-gold label showed that the terminal web and the cytosol of basal cellular regions were most highly labeled while the brush border was weakly labeled. The radioimmunoassay evaluation of intestinal subcellular fractions indicated that 96% of the homogenate CaBP is in the cytosol high-speed supernatant fraction. Collectively, these results support the hypothesis that the vitamin D-dependent intestinal CaBP may play a role in either regulation of intracellular calcium concentration or movement of calcium across the brush border membrane from the gut lumen.

Abstract
Three protein fractions of the cytosol of the chick parathyroid glands, which had the sedimentation constants of 2.5 S, 3.7 S and 5.5 S, were found to bind with 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Among these proteins, the 3.7 S protein was assumed to be the specific receptor protein. The 3.7 S receptor protein was also capable of binding to 1 alpha,24-dihydroxyvitamin D3 but not 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. The binding affinity of 1 alpha,24(R)-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to the 3.7 S receptor protein was estimated to be 1.2 times greater than that of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, while 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 bound to the receptor protein about 10 times stronger than 1 alpha,24(S)-dihydroxyvitamin D3. The dissociation constant for the receptor-1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 complex at 0 degrees C was 2.7 x 10(-11) M, the dissociation constants were calculated to be 2.2 x 10(-11) M and 2.6 x 10(-10) M for the complexes with 1 alpha,24(R)-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and 1 alpha,24(S)-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

Abstract
Fifty-seven patients who had been receiving maintenance haemodialysis for a mean of 4.6 years were given 0.25-0.5 microgram oral 1,25-dihydroxy (1,25-(OH)2) vitamin D3 or a placebo in a double-blind manner for one to two years. In patients with normal radiographs (mean plasma parathyroid hormone concentration 205 microliterEq/ml) 1,25-(OH)2 vitamin D3 prevented the development of the radiological appearances of hyperparathyroidism. In patients with abnormal radiographs (mean plasma parathyroid concentration 709 microliterEq/ml) 1,25-(OH)2 vitamin D3 arrested or reversed the radiological changes of hyperparathyroidism. Nevertheless, the response was slow and the concentration of the hormone remained considerably raised (mean 445 microliterEq/ml). It is concluded from these results that giving 1,25-(OH)2 vitamin D3 to patients receiving maintenance haemodialysis who have normal hand radiographs or minimal erosions is beneficial. In patients with more advanced hyperparathyroidism parathyroidectomy should be considered unless there is a rapid response.

Abstract
Using the technique of short interval sequential tetracycline labeling, it was documented that the apposition of mineralized bone matrix in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats was inhibited by hydrocortisone. The inhibition occurred as early as six days after the onset of the treatment and was dose dependent over a dose range of 0.62 to 20 mg per kg body weight per day. Vitamin D2 supplements by injection protected bone from this hydrocortisone action. 64 I. U. of vitamin D2 injected daily was able to prevent the inhibition of bone apposition by 20 mg per kg body weight per day of hydrocortisone. The results imply that vitamin D or its metabolites may compete with hydrocortisone in some cellular mechanisms and support the usefulness of vitamin D supplements in the treatment and the prevention of steroid-induced osteoporosis.

Abstract
We have examined the effects of metabolites of vitamin D [25OHD3, 1,25(OH)2D3, 24,25(OH)2D3, and 25,26(OH)2D3] on serum calcium and iPTH in human deficient-D osteomalacia. The four metabolites decreased iPTH, but only for 1,25(OH)2D3 was a significant correlation between increase of serum calcium and decrease of iPTH observed. The 24,25(OH)2D3 and 25,26(OH)2D3 decreased iPTH despite a decrease of serum calcium at the beginning of treatment. The 25OHD decreased iPTH before increased serum calcium. These results could be interpreted as a direct effect of metabolites of vitamin D on PTH secretion. However, the conversion of other metabolites and the calcium concentration in parathyroid cells must be determined before this hypothesis can be accepted.

Abstract
The effects of a vitamin D deficiency on insulin and glucagon release was determined in the isolated perfused rat pancreas by radioimmunoassay of the secreted proteins. During a 30-minute period of perfusion with glucose and arginine, pancreases from vitamin D-deficient rats exhibited a 48 percent reduction in insulin secretion compared to that for pancreases from vitamin D-deficient rats that had been replenished with vitamin D. Vitamin D status had no effect on pancreatic glucagon secretion. This result, along with the previously demonstrated presence in the pancreas of a vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein and cytosol receptor for the hormonal form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, indicates an important role for vitamin D in the endocrine functioning of the pancreas.
