Abstract
Vitamin D-dependent rickets (VDDR) is a group of genetic disorders characterized by early-onset rickets due to deficiency of active vitamin D or a failure to respond to activated vitamin D. VDDR is divided into several subtypes according to the corresponding causative genes. Here we described a new type of autosomal dominant VDDR in a Chinese pedigree. The proband and his mother had severe bone malformations, dentin abnormalities, and lower serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 (25[OH]D3) and phosphate levels. The proband slightly responded to a high dose of vitamin D3 instead of a daily low dose of vitamin D3. Whole-exome sequencing, bioinformatic analysis, PCR, and Sanger sequencing identified a nonsense mutation in CYP4A22 (c.900delG). The overexpressed wild-type CYP4A22 mainly localized in endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, and synthesized 25(OH)D3 in HepG2 cells. The overexpressed CYP4A22 mutant increased the expression of CYP2R1 and produced little 25(OH)D3 with vitamin D3 supplementation, which was reduced by CYP2R1 siRNA treatment. We concluded that CYP4A22 functions as a new kind of 25-hydroxylases for vitamin D3. Loss-of-function mutations in CYP4A22 lead to a new type of VDDR type 1 (VDDR1C). CYP2R1 and CYP4A22 may have some genetic compensation responding to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay effect of each other.

Abstract
Adrenodoxin reductase (AdxR) plays a pivotal role in electron transfer, shuttling electrons between NADPH and iron/sulfur adrenodoxin proteins in mitochondria. This electron transport system is essential for P450 enzymes involved in various endogenous biomolecules biosynthesis. Here, we present an in-depth examination of the kinetics governing the reduction of human AdxR by NADH or NADPH. Our results highlight the efficiency of human AdxR when utilizing NADPH as a flavin reducing agent. Nevertheless, akin to related flavoenzymes such as cytochrome P450 reductase, we observe that low NADPH concentrations hinder flavin reduction due to intricate equilibrium reactions between the enzyme and its substrate/product. Remarkably, the presence of MgCl2 suppresses this complex kinetic behavior by decreasing NADPH binding to oxidized AdxR, effectively transforming AdxR into a classical Michaelis-Menten enzyme. We propose that the addition of MgCl2 may be adapted for studying the reductive half-reactions of other flavoenzymes with NADPH. Furthermore, in vitro experiments provide evidence that the reduction of the yeast flavin monooxygenase Coq6p relies on an electron transfer chain comprising NADPH-AdxR-Yah1p-Coq6p, where Yah1p shuttles electrons between AdxR and Coq6p. This discovery explains the previous in vivo observation that Yah1p and the AdxR homolog, Arh1p, are required for the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q in yeast.

J Bone Miner Res 2023; 38:1312-1321. [PMID: 37409797 DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023]
Abstract
In a 36-month randomized controlled trial examining the effect of high-dose vitamin D3 on radial and tibial total bone mineral density (TtBMD), measured by high-resolution peripheral quantitative tomography (HR-pQCT), participants (311 healthy males and females aged 55-70 years with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry T-scores > -2.5 without vitamin D deficiency) were randomized to receive 400 IU (N = 109), 4000 IU (N = 100), or 10,000 IU (N = 102) daily. Participants had HR-pQCT radius and tibia scans and blood sampling at baseline, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months. This secondary analysis examined the effect of vitamin D dose on plasma measurements of the vitamin D metabolome by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), exploring whether the observed decline in TtBMD was associated with changes in four key metabolites [25-(OH)D3 ; 24,25-(OH)2 D3 ; 1,25-(OH)2 D3 ; and 1,24,25-(OH)3 D3 ]. The relationship between peak values in vitamin D metabolites and changes in TtBMD over 36 months was assessed using linear regression, controlling for sex. Increasing vitamin D dose was associated with a marked increase in 25-(OH)D3 , 24,25-(OH)2 D3 and 1,24,25-(OH)3 D3 , but no dose-related change in plasma 1,25-(OH)2 D3 was observed. There was a significant negative slope for radius TtBMD and 1,24,25-(OH)3 D3 (-0.05, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.08, -0.03, p < 0.001) after controlling for sex. A significant interaction between TtBMD and sex was seen for 25-(OH)D3 (female: -0.01, 95% CI -0.12, -0.07; male: -0.04, 95% CI -0.06, -0.01, p = 0.001) and 24,25-(OH)2 D3 (female: -0.75, 95% CI -0.98, -0.52; male: -0.35, 95% CI -0.59, -0.11, p < 0.001). For the tibia there was a significant negative slope for 25-(OH)D3 (-0.03, 95% CI -0.05, -0.01, p < 0.001), 24,25-(OH)2 D3 (-0.30, 95% CI -0.44, -0.16, p < 0.001), and 1,24,25-(OH)3 D3 (-0.03, 95% CI -0.05, -0.01, p = 0.01) after controlling for sex. These results suggest vitamin D metabolites other than 1,25-(OH)2 D3 may be responsible for the bone loss seen in the Calgary Vitamin D Study. Although plasma 1,25-(OH)2 D3 did not change with vitamin D dose, it is possible rapid catabolism to 1,24,25-(OH)3 D3 prevented the detection of a dose-related rise in plasma 1,25-(OH)2 D3 . © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Vitamin D plays a vital role in regulating calcium and phosphate metabolism and maintaining bone health. A state of prolonged or profound vitamin D deficiency (VDD) can result in rickets in children and osteomalacia in children and adults. Recent studies have demonstrated the pleiotropic action of vitamin D and identified its effects on multiple biological processes in addition to bone health. VDD is more prevalent in chronic childhood conditions such as long-standing systemic illnesses affecting the renal, liver, gastrointestinal, skin, neurologic and musculoskeletal systems. VDD superimposed on the underlying disease process and treatments that can adversely affect bone turnover can all add to the disease burden in these groups of children. The current review outlines the causes and mechanisms underlying poor bone health in certain groups of children and young people with chronic diseases with an emphasis on the proactive screening and treatment of VDD.

Abstract
Vitamin D signaling is important in regulating calcium homeostasis essential for bone health but also displays other functions in cells of several tissues. Disturbed vitamin D signaling is linked to a large number of diseases. The multiple cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes catalyzing the different hydroxylations in bioactivation of vitamin D3 are crucial for vitamin D signaling and function. This review is focused on the progress achieved in identification of the bioactivating enzymes and their genes in production of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and other active metabolites. Results obtained on species- and tissue-specific expression, catalytic reactions, substrate specificity, enzyme kinetics, and consequences of gene mutations are evaluated. Matters of incomplete understanding regarding the physiological roles of some vitamin D hydroxylases are critically discussed and the authors will give their view of the importance of each enzyme for vitamin D signaling. Roles of different vitamin D receptors and an alternative bioactivation pathway, leading to 20-hydroxylated vitamin D3 metabolites, are also discussed. Considerable progress has been achieved in knowledge of the vitamin D3 bioactivating enzymes. Nevertheless, several intriguing areas deserve further attention to understand the pleiotropic and diverse activities elicited by vitamin D signaling and the mechanisms of enzymatic activation necessary for vitamin D-induced responses.

Abstract
A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of vitamin D3 and metabolites [25(OH)D3, 1,25(OH)2D3, and 24,25(OH)2D3] is presented. In this study, patients with 25(OH)D3 plasma concentrations below 30 ng/ml were studied after a single dose of 5000 I.U. (125 µg) cholecalciferol, provided with 5000 I.U. daily cholecalciferol supplementation until vitamin D replete [25(OH)D3 plasma concentrations above 30 ng/ml], and had serial plasma samples were collected at each phase for 14 days. Total concentrations of vitamin D3 and metabolites were measured by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. A nine-compartment PBPK model was built using MATLAB to represent the triphasic study nature (insufficient, replenishing, and sufficient). The stimulatory and inhibitory effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 were incorporated by fold-changes in the primary metabolic enzymes CYP27B1 and CYP24A1, respectively. Incorporation of dynamic adipose partition coefficients for vitamin D3 and 25(OH)D3 and variable enzymatic reactions aided in model fitting. Measures of model predictions agreed well with data from metabolites, with 97%, 88%, and 98% of the data for 25(OH)D3, 24,25(OH)2D3, and 1,25(OH)2D3, respectively, within twofold of unity (fold error values between 0.5 and 2.0). Bootstrapping was performed and optimized parameters were reported with 95% confidence intervals. This PBPK model could be a useful tool for understanding the connections between vitamin D and its metabolites under a variety of clinical situations. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study developed a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of vitamin D3 and metabolites for patients moving from an insufficient to a repleted state over a period of 16 weeks.

Abstract
Childhood obesity accounts for several psychosocial and clinical consequences. Psychosocial consequences include lower self-esteem, social isolation, poor academic achievement, peer problems, and depression, whereas clinical consequences are cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, cancer, autoimmune diseases, girls early polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), asthma, bone deformities, etc. A growing number of studies have uncovered the association of childhood obesity and its consequences with vitamin-D (vit-D) deficiency and vitamin-D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), e.g., TaqI, BsmI, ApaI, FokI, and Cdx2. Considering the impact of vit-D deficiency and VDR gene polymorphisms, identifying associated factors and risk groups linked to lower serum vit-D levels and prevention of obesity-related syndromes in children is of utmost importance. Previously published review articles mainly focused on the association of vit-D deficiency with obesity or other non-communicable diseases in children. The nature of the correlation between vit-D deficiency and VDR gene polymorphisms with obesity in children is yet to be clarified. Therefore, this review attempts to delineate the association of obesity with these two factors by identifying the molecular mechanism of the relationship.

Abstract
Vitamin D has many physiological functions including upregulation of intestinal calcium and phosphate absorption, mobilization of bone resorption, renal reabsorption of calcium as well as actions on a variety of pleiotropic functions. It is believed that many of the hormonal effects of vitamin D involve a 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-vitamin D receptor-mediated transcriptional mechanism involving binding to the cellular chromatin and regulating hundreds of genes in many tissues. This comprehensive historical review provides a unique perspective of the many steps of the discovery of vitamin D and its deficiency disease, rickets, stretching from 1650 until the present. The overview is divided into four distinct historical phases which cover the major developments in the field and in the process highlighting the: (a) first recognition of rickets or vitamin D deficiency; (b) discovery of the nutritional factor, vitamin D and its chemical structure; (c) elucidation of vitamin D metabolites including the hormonal form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3; (d) delineation of the vitamin D cellular machinery, functions and vitamin D-related diseases which focused on understanding the mechanism of action of vitamin D in its many target cells.

Abstract
Two 24-fluoro-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 analogues (3,4) were synthesized in a convergent manner. The introduction of a stereocenter to the vitamin D3 side-chain C24 position was achieved via Sharpless dihydroxylation, and a deoxyfluorination reaction was utilized for the fluorination step. Comparison between (24R)- and (24S)-24-fluoro-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 revealed that the C24-R-configuration isomer 4 was more resistant to CYP24A1-dependent metabolism than its 24S-isomer 3. The new synthetic route of the CYP24A1 main metabolite (24R)-24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (6) and its 24S-isomer (5) was also studied using synthetic intermediates (30,31) in parallel.

Abstract
SCOPE The treatment of food with ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light to increase the vitamin D content is accompanied by the formation of photoisomers, such as lumisterol2 . The physiological impact of photoisomers is largely unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Three groups of C57Bl/6 mice are fed diets containing 50 µg kg-1 deuterated vitamin D3 with 0, 50 (moderate-dose) or 2000 µg kg-1 (high-dose) lumisterol2 for four weeks. Considerable quantities of lumisterol2 and vitamin D2 are found in the plasma and tissues of mice fed with 2000 µg kg-1 lumisterol2 but not in those fed 0 or 50 µg kg-1 lumisterol2 . Mice fed with 2000 µg kg-1 lumisterol2 showed strongly reduced deuterated 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (-50%) and calcitriol (-80%) levels in plasma, accompanied by downregulated mRNA abundance of cytochrom P450 (Cyp)27b1 and upregulated Cyp24a1 in the kidneys. Increased tissue levels of vitamin D2 were also seen in mice in a second study that are kept on a diet with 0.2% UV-B exposed yeast versus those fed 0.2% untreated yeast containing iso-amounts of vitamin D2 . CONCLUSION High doses of lumisterol2 can enter the body, induce the formation of vitamin D2 , reduce the levels of 25(OH)D3 and calcitriol and strongly impact the expression of genes involved in the degradation and synthesis of bioactive vitamin D.

Warren MF, Livingston KA. Implications of Vitamin D Research in Chickens can Advance Human Nutrition and Perspectives for the Future. Curr Dev Nutr 2021; 5:nzab018. [PMID: 33977215 PMCID: PMC7929256 DOI: 10.1093/cdn/nzab018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2020] [Revised: 02/09/2021] [Accepted: 02/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The risk of vitamin D insufficiency in humans is a global problem that requires improving ways to increase vitamin D intake. Supplements are a primary means for increasing vitamin D intake, but without a clear consensus on what constitutes vitamin D sufficiency, there is toxicity risk with taking supplements. Chickens have been used in many vitamin-D-related research studies, especially studies involving vitamin D supplementation. Our state-of-the-art review evaluates vitamin D metabolism and how the different hydroxylated forms are synthesized. We provide an overview of how vitamin D is absorbed, transported, excreted, and what tissues in the body store vitamin D metabolites. We also discuss a number of studies involving vitamin D supplementation with broilers and laying hens. Vitamin D deficiency and toxicity are also described and how they can be caused. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is important for vitamin D metabolism; however, there is much more to understand about VDR in chickens. Potential research aims involving vitamin D and chickens should explore VDR mechanisms that could lead to newer insights into VDR. Utilizing chickens in future research to help elucidate vitamin D mechanisms has great potential to advance human nutrition. Finding ways to increase vitamin D intake will be necessary because the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is leading to increased risk of vitamin D deficiency in many populations. Chickens can provide a dual purpose with addressing pandemic-caused vitamin D deficiency: 1) vitamin D supplementation gives chickens added-value with the possibility of leading to vitamin-D-enriched meat and egg products; and 2) using chickens in research provides data for translational research. We believe expanding vitamin-D-related research in chickens to include more nutritional aims in vitamin D status has great implications for developing better strategies to improve human health.

J Nutr 2020; 150:427-433. [PMID: 31665381 PMCID: PMC7443726 DOI: 10.1093/jn/nxz261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2019] [Revised: 06/17/2019] [Accepted: 09/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol [25(OH)D] is the predominant circulating metabolite of vitamin D and serves as the precursor for 1α,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1,25(OH)2D], the hormonally active form. The presence of 1α-hydroxylase (1α-OHase) in the intestine suggests that 1,25(OH)2D can be produced from 25(OH)D, but the effects of oral 25(OH)D on the intestine have not been determined. OBJECTIVES We investigated the acute intestinal response to orally consumed 25(OH)D in mice by assessing mRNA induction of cytochrome p450 family 24 subfamily A member 1 (Cyp24), a vitamin D-dependent gene. The mechanism of action then was determined through in vitro analyses with Caco2 and HT-29 cells. METHODS Adult male C57BL6 mice were given a single oral dose of 40, 80, 200, or 400 ng 25(OH)D (n = 4 per dose) or vehicle (n = 3), and then killed 4 h later to evaluate the duodenal expression of Cyp24 mRNA by qPCR and RNA in situ hybridization. The 25(OH)D-mediated response was also evaluated with Caco2 and HT-29 cells by inhibition assay and dose-response analysis. A cytochrome p450 family 27 subfamily B member 1 (CYP27B1) knockdown of HT-29 was created to compare the dose-response parameters with wild-type HT-29 cells. RESULTS Oral 25(OH)D induced expression of Cyp24 mRNA in the duodenum of mice with 80 ng 25(OH)D by 3.3 ± 0.8 ΔΔCt compared with controls (P < 0.05). In vitro, both Caco2 and HT-29 cells responded to 25(OH)D treatment with 200-fold and 175-fold greater effective concentration at 50% maximal response than 1,25(OH)2D, yet inhibition of 1α-OHase and knockdown of CYP27B1 had no effect on the responses. CONCLUSIONS In mice, orally consumed 25(OH)D elicits a vitamin D-mediated response in the duodenum. In vitro assessments suggest that the response from 25(OH)D does not require activation by 1α-OHase and that 25(OH)D within the intestinal lumen acts as a vitamin D receptor agonist.

Abstract
Vitamin D is a steroid hormone with numerous actions in the organism. There are strong evidences that relate vitamin D deficiency with liver lipid metabolism disturbances, but the mechanism of this action is still unknown. In our previous work we postulated the localization and accumulation of vitamin D receptor (VDR) in membrane of the lipid droplets (LDs) in hepatocytes. In this study, we applied the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to confirm this hypothesis by using a long-term (6 months) high sucrose intake rat model that was previously found to be appropriate for research of the hepatic lipid accumulation. In addition to the VDR, we also found key vitamin D metabolizing enzymes, 1α-hydroxylase and CYP 24 associated with the membrane of the LDs. A light-microscopy data revealed significant increase in expression of VDR and CYP 24 in liver of high-sucrose treated rats, in comparison to controlones. According to the best of our knowledge, this is a first study confirming the presence of the VDR in the membrane of the LDs in general and also in particular in LDs of the hepatocytes that were accumulated as a consequence of the prolonged high sucrose intake. Moreover, we found association of main vitamin D metabolizing enzymes with LD membrane. These results provide a new insight in the possible relation of vitamin D signalling system with LD morphology and function and with the lipid metabolism in general.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) enzymes have long been of interest due to their roles in the metabolism of drugs, pesticides, pro-carcinogens, and other xenobiotic chemicals. They have also been of interest due to their very critical roles in the biosynthesis and metabolism of steroids, vitamins, and certain eicosanoids. This review covers the 22 (of the total of 57) human P450s in Families 5-51 and their substrate selectivity. Furthermore, included is information and references regarding inducibility, inhibition, and (in some cases) stimulation by chemicals. We update and discuss important aspects of each of these 22 P450s and questions that remain open.

Abstract
Three 23-hydroxylated vitamin D3 derivatives, which are metabolites of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 produced by CYP24A1 and a related diastereomer, were efficiently synthesized. Each C23 hydroxy unit was constructed by the Claisen condensation reaction with ethyl acetate or the Grignard reaction with 2-methylallymagnesium chloride. Stereochemistry at the C23 position was determined by a modified Mosher's method. The triene structures were constructed by the Wittig-Horner reaction utilizing the A-ring phosphine oxide moiety.

Abstract
Although the kidneys play a leading part in the biosynthesis of vitamin D, there is no consensus regarding the relationship of the vitamin D concentration with kidney function. Thus, we aimed to estimate the correlation among 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) in participants aged ≥50 y in Korea. This study consisted of 9,166 people who participated in a basic survey of the Dong-gu Study. Following an overnight fast, the blood and urine sample were assessed. The serum 25(OH)D, eGFR, ACR of each subject were measured. When adjusting for covariates and log-transformed ACR (Model III), the lower eGFR value was significantly associated with increasing 25(OH)D levels (<10.0: 71.5[70.5-72.4]; 10.0-14.9: 70.0 [69.5-70.4]; 15.0-19.9: 68.7 [68.3-69.2]; ≥20.0: 67.4 [66.8-67.9] mL/min/1.73 m2, p<0.001). When adjusted for the same covariates and log-transformed eGFR (Model III), the lower ACR value was significantly associated with increasing 25(OH)D levels (<10.0: 57.4 [48.0-66.9]; 10.0-14.9: 40.8 [36.5-45.2]; 15.0-19.9: 34.0 [29.5-38.5]; ≥20.0: 34.3 [28.8-39.8] μg/mg creatinine, p<0.001). In conclusion, the mean values of eGFR were significantly decreased with increasing 25(OH)D levels independent of ACR. In additon, the mean values of ACR were significantly decreased with increasing 25(OH)D levels independent of eGFR in participants aged ≥50 y in Korea.

Abstract
In vitro cell-based assays are common screening tools used for the identification of new VDR ligands. For 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] and 1α-hydroxyvitamin D3 [1α(OH)D3], protein expressions of CYP2R1 and CYP27B1, respectively, that form the active 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] ligand were detected in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells expressing the GAL4-hVDR, the human brain microvessel endothelial (hCMEC/D3) and adenocarcinoma colonic (Caco-2) cells. The impact of bioactivation enzymes was shown upon the addition of ketoconazole (10 μM KTZ), a pan-CYP inhibitor, which reduced the apparent potency of 25(OH)D3 and increased the EC50 from 272 to 608 nM in HEK293 cells. EIA assays verified that 1,25(OH)2D3 was formed and contributed to VDR activity independently of its precursors. In hCMEC/D3 cells where enzyme protein levels were lowest, changes in MDR1/P-gp expression with KTZ were minimal. In Caco-2 cells, the induction of TRPV6 (calcium channel), CYP24A1, CYP3A4, OATP1A2 and MDR1 mRNA expression was 1,25(OH)2D3 > 1α(OH)D3 > 25(OH)D3, with the magnitude of change being blunted by KTZ. Upon inclusion of KTZ in the cell-based assays, high transcriptional activities were observed for synthetic VDR activators from Teijin Pharma. Cyclopentanone derivatives: TPD-003, TPD-005, TPD-006, TPD-008 and TPD-009 (EC50s 0.06 to 67 nM, unchanged with KTZ) were found more potent over straight chain and lactone derivatives (antagonists). Most TPD compounds activated OATP1A2, CYP24A1, CYP3A4, and MDR1 (28-67%) and TRPV6 transcriptionally in Caco-2 cells. The results identified that cell-based assays with added KTZ could accurately identify new VDR activators, although these may be hypercalcemic with strong TRPV6 inducing properties.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of lethal prostate adenocarcinomas (PCa) and the majority of older men are deficient. Although PCa arises from the epithelium, the surrounding stroma has hormonal regulatory control over the epithelium and contributes to carcinogenesis. Herein, we describe regulation of microRNAs (miRs) by the active hormone dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) in human prostate stroma. 1,25(OH)2D binds the vitamin D receptor (VDR) transcription factor to regulate gene expression, including miRs, which have emerged as potent regulators of protein expression. 1,25(OH)2D-regulated miRs were identified by profiling in primary human prostatic stromal cells (PrS) and three miRs, miR-126-3p, miR 154-5p and miR-21-5p were subsequently validated in laser-capture micro-dissected prostate stromal tissue from a vitamin D3 clinical trial (N=45). Regulation of these miRs by 1,25(OH)2D was VDR-dependent. Network analysis of known and putative mRNA targets of these miRs was enriched with cancer and inflammation pathways, consistent with known roles of stroma and of vitamin D in carcinogenesis. Expression of the miR processing ribonuclease, DICER1, positively correlated with vitamin D metabolite levels in the clinical trial specimens. High epithelial/stromal ratios of DICER1 were significantly associated biochemical recurrence (OR 3.1, p=0.03) in a tissue microarray of 170 matched PCa patients. In summary, these results underscore the role of the prostate stroma in regulating responses to the hormone 1,25(OH)2D and identified miRs and DICER1 as being regulated in human prostate stroma. Regulation of stromal DICER1 by 1,25(OH)2D may also have clinical relevance in protection against aggressive PCa.

Abstract
Calcitroic acid was isolated and characterized almost four decades ago, but little is known about this important vitamin D metabolite. Four reported synthetic strategies to generate calcitroic acid are presented that highlight the scientific progress in the field of chemistry directed to vitamin D analog synthesis. The most recent synthesis described the generation of calcitroic acid with an overall yield of 12.8% in 13 steps. The endogenous formation of calcitroic acid has been demonstrated in perfused rat kidney using 24,25,26,27-tetranor-1,23(OH)2D3. Although, the majority of vitamin D metabolism is mediated by 24-hydoxylase (CYP24A1), it is not clear why the formation of calcitroic acid was not observed in the presence of recombinant CYP24A1 enzyme. Furthermore, it is not known if enzyme 1α-hydroxylase (CYP27B1) can convert calcioic acid into calcitroic acid. In addition to the lack of research investigating the endogenous formation of calcitroic acid, the physiological role of calcitroic acid remains unknown. Only a few reports mentioned the biological activity of calcitroic acid in connection with the vitamin D receptor (VDR). When administered subcutaneously, calcitroic acid has anthracitic properties and elevates calcium blood levels when administered intravenously. In vitro, calcitroic acid at higher concentrations has been shown to bind VDR and induce gene transcription. However, these studies were not carried out in cells derived from target organs of calcitroic acid such as kidney, liver, and intestine. We can conclude that our current knowledge of calcitroic acid is limited, and more studies are needed to identify its physiological role.

Abstract
In type 2 diabetic patients, the relationships between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone levels, and glycemic control, remain unclear. We evaluated associations between 25-hydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and hemoglobin A1c levels after adjusting for other covariates, including log transformed 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and log transformed parathyroid hormone levels, in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes. In total, 1,175 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected from 8,857 individuals who completed the baseline survey of the Dong-gu study, conducted in Korea from 2007 to 2010. After adjusting for other covariates, we found that the mean hemoglobin A1c level was inversely associated with the 25-hydroxyvitamin D level (Q1: 7.47% [7.30–7.63], Q2: 7.25% [7.09–7.40], Q3: 7.17% [7.02–7.32], Q4: 7.19% [7.02–7.35]; p for trend = 0.021, p for between groups = 0.050) and the parathyroid hormone level (Q1: 7.35% [7.19–7.51], Q2: 7.34% [7.19–7.50], Q3: 7.28% [7.13–7.43], Q4: 7.09% [6.94–7.24]; p for trend = 0.022, p for between groups = 0.048). However, the mean fasting glucose level was not associated with either the 25-hydroxyvitamin D or parathyroid hormone level. In conclusion, inverse associations were evident between hemoglobin A1c, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone levels in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes. The associations remained significant after adjusting for other covariates, including the log transformed 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and log transformed parathyroid hormone levels.

Vuica A, Vukojević K, Ferhatović Hamzić L, Jerić M, Puljak L, Grković I, Filipović N. Expression pattern of CYP24 in liver during ageing in long-term diabetes. Acta Histochem 2016; 118:486-95.

Abstract
Association of liver calcitriol (active vitamin D metabolite) catabolism with osteomalacia during prolonged use of certain drugs was reported in several recent studies. To examine whether the increased calcitriol catabolism could be a potential link between ageing/diabetes mellitus (DM) and bone loss, we studied the dynamic of expression of CYP24, the main calcitriol catabolising enzyme in the liver of rats during ageing and a long-term experimental DM1. DM1 model was induced with intraperitoneally injected streptozotocin (STZ) (55mg/kg). Sprague-Dawley rats were sacrificed 6 and 12 months after the DM1 induction. The immunohistochemical analyses of CYP24 and transforming growth factor β 1 (TGF-β1) expression in the liver were performed. We found that ageing and long-term DM1 resulted in a significantly increased expression of CYP24 in hepatocytes, as well as in non-hepatocyte liver cells (Kupffer cells, hepatic stellate cells and sinusoidal endothelial cells). Ageing and long-term DM1 resulted in an increased expression of TGF-β1 as well. Expression of CYP24 coexisted with the expression of TGF-β1 in all types of hepatic cells. We concluded that liver has the capacity for an active vitamin D catabolism in different populations of liver cells, especially in sinusoidal endothelial cells, through an expression of CYP24. That capacity is substantially increased during ageing and long-term diabetes mellitus. Increased liver calcitriol catabolism could be one of the mechanisms of the bone metabolism impairment related to ageing and diabetes.

Abstract
With the safety of existing nuclear power plants being brought into question after the Fukushima disaster and the increased level of concern over terrorism-sponsored use of improvised nuclear devices, it is more crucial to develop well-defined radiation injury markers in easily accessible biofluids to help emergency-responders with injury assessment during patient triage. Here, we focused on utilizing ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to identify and quantitate the unique changes in the urinary excretion of two metabolite markers, calcitroic acid and citrulline, in mice induced by different forms of irradiation; external γ irradiation at a low dose rate (LDR) of 3.0 mGy/min and a high dose rate (HDR) of 1.1 Gy/min, and internal exposure to Cesium-137 ((137)Cs) and Strontium-90 ((90)Sr). The multiple reaction monitoring analysis showed that, while exposure to (137)Cs and (90)Sr induced a statistically significant and persistent decrease, similar doses of external γ beam at the HDR had the opposite effect, and the LDR had no effect on the urinary levels of these two metabolites. This suggests that the source of exposure and the dose rate strongly modulate the in vivo metabolomic injury responses, which may have utility in clinical biodosimetry assays for the assessment of exposure in an affected population. This study complements our previous investigations into the metabolomic profile of urine from mice internally exposed to (90)Sr and (137)Cs and to external γ beam radiation.

Abstract
Flavin-dependent monooxygenases and oxidoreductases are located at critical branch points in the biosynthesis and metabolism of cholesterol and vitamin D. These flavoproteins function as obligatory intermediates that accept 2 electrons from NAD(P)H with subsequent 1-electron transfers to a variety of cytochrome P450 (CYP) heme proteins within the mitochondria matrix (type I) and the (microsomal) endoplasmic reticulum (type II). The mode of electron transfer in these systems differs slightly in the number and form of the flavin prosthetic moiety. In the type I mitochondrial system, FAD-adrenodoxin reductase interfaces with adrenodoxin before electron transfer to CYP heme proteins. In the microsomal type II system, a diflavin (FAD/FMN)-dependent cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase [NAD(P)H-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR)] donates electrons to a multitude of heme oxygenases. Both flavoenzyme complexes exhibit a commonality of function with all CYP enzymes and are crucial for maintaining a balance of cholesterol and vitamin D metabolites. Deficits in riboflavin availability, imbalances in the intracellular ratio of FAD to FMN, and mutations that affect flavin binding domains and/or interactions with client proteins result in marked structural alterations within the skeletal and central nervous systems similar to those of disorders (inborn errors) in the biosynthetic pathways that lead to cholesterol, steroid hormones, and vitamin D and their metabolites. Studies of riboflavin deficiency during embryonic development demonstrate congenital malformations similar to those associated with genetic alterations of the flavoenzymes in these pathways. Overall, a deeper understanding of the role of riboflavin in these pathways may prove essential to targeted therapeutic designs aimed at cholesterol and vitamin D metabolism.

Abstract
Traditionally regarded as a typical vitamin regulating calcium and phosphorus homeostasis, vitamin D is now discovered as a highly versatile molecule with emerging roles in immunity, cancer, infectious diseases, fibrosis, fatty liver diseases, and alcoholic liver diseases. A large body of clinical evidence has demonstrated the prevalence and risks of vitamin D deficiency in various chronic diseases. Biologically active vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxylvitamin D3, is synthesized in two distinct systems. In addition to the classic two-step hydroxylation in the liver and kidneys, 1,25-dihydroxylvitamin D3 can also be produced locally by immune cells in response to infection. The bioactive vitamin D generated in these two pools apparently functions differently: while the former facilitates calcium adsorption and homeostasis, the latter confers immune regulation. The immune regulatory functions of vitamin D are demonstrated by induction of antimicrobial peptides, suppression of innate immune response, induction of Th2 cytokines, and stimulation of T-regulatory T cells. Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is overwhelmingly associated with viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver diseases. Recent clinical trials have shown that vitamin D supplements significantly enhance the efficacy of interferon plus ribavirin therapy through sustained virological response. A recent study showed that 25-dihydroxyvitamin D rather than 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D could directly suppress hepatitis C virus assembly. Moreover, clinical evidence has shown that vitamin D deficiency is associated with alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases. In this review, we highlight some recent advances in vitamin D researches and clinical trails.

Abstract
Progressive elevations of fibroblastic growth factor 23 (FGF23) in chronic kidney disease may reduce serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)(2)D) levels, via stimulation of 24-hydroxylase (Cyp24a1)-mediated catabolism of these vitamin D metabolites. To test this possibility, we measured serum concentrations of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25(OH)(2)D), a product of Cyp24a1 hydroxylation of 25(OH)D, in the Col4a3 knockout mouse, a model of Alport syndrome-derived chronic kidney disease, and in patients with chronic kidney disease of variable severity. There was an inverse correlation between serum FGF23 and both 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)(2)D in the mouse model, but no significant relationship was observed in the cross-sectional patient cohort. The FGF23-dependent increase in Cyp24a1 mRNA expression in the mouse kidneys was consistent with the possibility that FGF23 induces vitamin D catabolism. There was, however, a reduction in serum 24,25(OH)(2)D levels, rather than the expected elevation, in both the mice and patients with chronic kidney disease. Low 25(OH)D and elevated FGF23 and parathyroid hormone levels were correlated with the reduced serum 24,25(OH)(2)D concentrations of these patients. Thus, we failed to find support for FGF23-mediated catabolism of vitamin D metabolites in chronic kidney disease assessed by 24,25(OH)(2)D levels.

Abstract
Oxidative catabolism of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1α,25(OH)(2)D(3)] is mediated by either CYP24A1 or CYP3A4. In this paper, we tested whether induction of CYP3A4 in the LS180 intestinal cell model enhances clearance of 1α,25(OH)(2)D(3) and blunts its hormonal effect on expression of the apical membrane calcium transport protein, TRPV6. Treatment with the hPXR agonist rifampin significantly increased CYP3A4 mRNA content and catalytic activity, but had no effect on CYP24A1 or TRPV6 mRNA content. Pre-treating cells with rifampin for 48h, prior to a 24h 1α,25(OH)(2)D(3) treatment phase, was associated with a subsequent 48% increase in the elimination of 1α,25(OH)(2)D(3) and a 35% reduction of peak TRPV6 mRNA. Introduction of the CYP3A4 inhibitor, 6',7'-dihydroxybergamottin, an active inhibitor in grapefruit juice, reversed the effects of rifampin on 1α,25(OH)(2)D(3) clearance and TRPV6 expression. Over-expression of hPXR in LS180 cells greatly enhanced the CYP3A4 responsiveness to rifampin pretreatment, and elicited a greater relative suppression of TRPV6 expression and an increase in 1α,25(OH)(2)D(3) disappearance rate, compared to vector expressed cells, following hormone administration. Together, these results suggest that induction of CYP3A4 in the intestinal epithelium by hPXR agonists can result in a greater metabolic clearance of 1α,25(OH)(2)D(3) and reduced effects of the hormone on the intestinal calcium absorption, which may contribute to an increased risk of drug-induced osteomalacia/osteoporosis in patients receiving chronic therapy with potent hPXR agonists. Moreover, ingestion of grapefruit juice in the at-risk patients could potentially prevent this adverse drug effect.

Abstract
Parathormone (PTH) and vitamin D are two critical hormonal regulators of calcium homeostasis. An important cross-talk exists between the PTH and vitamin D hormonal systems. PTH enhances vitamin D hydroxylation on carbon 1 in kidney cells thereby allowing the systemic release of 1-25-dihydroxy-vitamin D, which represents the fully active hormone. Conversely, parathyroid gland represents a direct target for vitamin D. Parathyroid cells express the vitamin D receptor and the 1-α-hydroxylase enzyme, which allows the local formation of 1-25-dihydroxy-vitamin D. Because of its potential implication in several diseases, including osteoporosis or chronic kidney disease, the interplay between PTH and vitamin D has received considerable attention these last two decades. The aim of this review is to summarize our current understanding of the molecular basis of vitamin D action and metabolism in parathyroid cells. The potential clinical implications of the recent advances made in this field will also be discussed.

Abstract
Better understanding of the physiological role of the vitamin-D system, in particular its potential effects on inflammatory and autoimmune conditions as well as on insulin secretion and possibly also on insulin resistance, increased the interest in its potential role in prevention and control of the diabetic condition, both type-1 and -2 diabetes. Both these conditions are associated with inflammation and type-1 diabetes also with an autoimmune pathology. Indeed, animal and human studies support the notion that adequate vitamin-D supplementation may decrease the incidence of type-1 and possibly also of type-2 diabetes mellitus and may improve the metabolic control in the diabetes state. However, the exact mechanisms by which vitamin-D and calcium supplementation exert their beneficial effects are not clear and need further investigation.

Abstract
The balance between bioactivation and degradation of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] is critical for ensuring appropriate biological effects of vitamin D. Cytochrome P450, family 24-mediated (CYP24-mediated) 24-hydroxylation of 1,25(OH)2D3 is an important step in the catabolism of 1,25(OH)2D3. The enzyme is directly regulated by vitamin D receptor (VDR), and it is expressed mainly in the kidney, where VDR is also abundant. A recent report suggests that activation of steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) also enhances the expression of CYP24, providing a new molecular mechanism of drug-induced osteomalacia. However, here we showed that activation of SXR did not induce CYP24 expression in vitro and in vivo, nor did it transactivate the CYP24 promoter. Instead, SXR inhibited VDR-mediated CYP24 promoter activity, and CYP24 expression was very low in tissues containing high levels of SXR, including the small intestine. Moreover, 1,25(OH)2D3-induced CYP24 expression was enhanced in mice lacking the SXR ortholog pregnane X receptor, and treatment of humans with the SXR agonist rifampicin had no effect on intestinal CYP24 expression, despite demonstration of marked CYP3A4 induction. Combined with our previous findings that CYP3A4, not CYP24, plays the dominant role in hydroxylation of 1,25(OH)2D3 in human liver and intestine, our results indicate that SXR has a dual role in mediating vitamin D catabolism and drug-induced osteomalacia.

Abstract
The decline in bone mineral density that occurs after long-term treatment with some antiepileptic drugs is thought to be mediated by increased vitamin D(3) metabolism. In this study, we show that the inducible enzyme CYP3A4 is a major source of oxidative metabolism of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] in human liver and small intestine and could contribute to this adverse effect. Heterologously-expressed CYP3A4 catalyzed the 23- and 24-hydroxylation of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). No human microsomal cytochrome P450 enzyme tested, other than CYP3A5, supported these reactions. CYP3A4 exhibited opposite product stereochemical preference compared with that of CYP24A1, a known 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) hydroxylase. The three major metabolites generated by CYP3A4 were 1,23R,25(OH)(3)D(3), 1,24S,25(OH)(3)D(3), and 1,23S,25(OH)(3)D(3). Although the metabolic clearance of CYP3A4 was less than that of CYP24A1, comparison of metabolite profiles and experiments using CYP3A-specific inhibitors indicated that CYP3A4 was the dominant source of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) 23- and 24-hydroxylase activity in both human small intestine and liver. Consistent with this observation, analysis of mRNA isolated from human intestine and liver (including samples from donors treated with phenytoin) revealed a general absence of CYP24A1 mRNA. In addition, expression of CYP3A4 mRNA in a panel of duodenal samples was significantly correlated with the mRNA level of a known vitamin D receptor gene target, calbindin-D9K. These and other data suggest that induction of CYP3A4-dependent 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) metabolism by antiepileptic drugs and other PXR ligands may diminish intestinal effects of the hormone and contribute to osteomalacia.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency predisposes individuals to type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and receptors for its activated form-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-have been identified in both beta cells and immune cells. Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to impair insulin synthesis and secretion in humans and in animal models of diabetes, suggesting a role in the development of type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, epidemiological studies suggest a link between vitamin D deficiency in early life and the later onset of type 1 diabetes. In some populations, type 1 diabetes is associated with certain polymorphisms within the vitamin D receptor gene. In studies in nonobese diabetic mice, pharmacological doses of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, or its structural analogues, have been shown to delay the onset of diabetes, mainly through immune modulation. Vitamin D deficiency may, therefore, be involved in the pathogenesis of both forms of diabetes, and a better understanding of the mechanisms involved could lead to the development of preventive strategies.

1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3[, the biologically active form of vitamin D that interacts with the vitamin D receptor (VDR), is a coordinate regulator of proliferation, differentiation, and survival of breast cancer cells. Therefore, vitamin D compounds that bind and activate VDRs offer promise as therapeutic agents for the treatment of established breast cancer. In addition, epidemiologic, clinical, and animal studies suggested that vitamin D status is important for protection against the development of breast cancer. To elucidate potential biological mechanisms through which vitamin D status might be associated with breast cancer risk, basic research studies focused on defining the molecular effects of vitamin D signaling in the normal mammary gland. Both VDR and vitamin D 1-hydroxylase, the enzyme that generates 1,25(OH)2D3, are expressed and dynamically regulated in the normal mammary gland. Furthermore, studies with mice lacking VDRs established that vitamin D participates in negative growth control of the normal mammary gland and that disruption of VDR signaling is associated with abnormal ductal morphologic features, increased incidence of preneoplastic lesions, and accelerated mammary tumor development. These studies support the concept that suboptimal generation of 1,25(OH)2D3 in the mammary gland might sufficiently deregulate VDR-mediated gene expression to sensitize mammary cells to transformation. In light of these observations, studies to define the most appropriate biomarkers of vitamin D status in relation to protection against breast cancer among human subjects are urgently needed.

Abstract
Only a handful of P450 genes have been functionally characterized from the approximately 90 recently identified in the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. Cyp6a8 encodes a 506-amino acid protein with 53.6% amino acid identity with CYP6A2. CYP6A2 has been shown to catalyze the metabolism of several insecticides including aldrin and heptachlor. CYP6A8 is expressed at many developmental stages as well as in adult life. CYP6A8 was produced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and enzymatically characterized after catalytic activity was reconstituted with D. melanogaster P450 reductase and NADPH. Although several saturated or non-saturated fatty acids were not metabolized by CYP6A8, lauric acid (C12:0), a short-chain unsaturated fatty acid, was oxidized by CYP6A8 to produce 11-hydroxylauric acid with an apparent V(max) of 25 nmol/min/nmol P450. This is the first report showing that a member of the CYP6 family catalyzes the hydroxylation of lauric acid. Our data open new prospects for the CYP6 P450 enzymes, which could be involved in important physiological functions through fatty acid metabolism.

Abstract
The compound 26,26,26,27,27,27-F(6)-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) is a hexafluorinated analog of the active form of Vitamin D(3). The enhanced biological activity of F(6)-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) is considered to be related to a decreased metabolic inactivation of the compound in target tissues such as the kidneys, small intestine, and bones. Our previous study demonstrated that CYP24 is responsible for the metabolism of F(6)-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) in the target tissues. In this study, we compared the human and rat CYP24-dependent metabolism of F(6)-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) by using the Escherichia coli expression system. In the recombinant E. coli cells expressing human CYP24, bovine adrenodoxin and NADPH-adrenodoxin reductase, F(6)-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) was successively converted to F(6)-1alpha,23S,25(OH)(3)D(3), F(6)-23-oxo-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3), and the putative ether compound with the same molecular mass as F(6)-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). The putative ether was not observed in the recombinant E. coli cells expressing rat CYP24. These results indicate species-based difference between human and rat CYP24 in the metabolism of F(6)-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). In addition, the metabolite with a cleavage at the C(24)z.sbnd;C(25) bond of F(6)-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) was detected as a minor metabolite in both human and rat CYP24. Although F(6)-1alpha,23S,25(OH)(3)D(3) and F(6)-23-oxo-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) had a high affinity for Vitamin D receptor, the side-chain cleaved metabolite and the putative ether showed extremely low affinity for Vitamin D receptor. These findings indicate that human CYP24 has a dual pathway for metabolic inactivation of F(6)-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) while rat CYP24 has only one pathway. Judging from the fact that metabolism of F(6)-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) in rat CYP24-harboring E. coli cells is quite similar to that in the target tissues of rat, the metabolism seen in human CYP24-harboring E. coli cells appear to exhibit the same metabolism as in human target tissues. Thus, this recombinant system harboring human CYP24 appears quite useful for predicting the metabolism and efficacy of Vitamin D analogs in human target tissues before clinical trials.
