Hasan M, Oster M, Reyer H, Ponsuksili S, Murani E, Wolf P, Fischer DC, Wimmers K. Tissue-Wide Expression of Genes Related to Vitamin D Metabolism and FGF23 Signaling following Variable Phosphorus Intake in Pigs. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12080729. [PMID: 36005601 PMCID: PMC9413461 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12080729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) homeostasis is maintained by several regulators, including vitamin D and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and their tissue-specific activation and signaling cascades. In this study, the tissue-wide expression of key genes linked to vitamin D metabolism (CYP2R1, CYP27A1, CYP27B1, CYP24A1, GC, VDR) and FGF23 signaling (FGF23, FGFR1-4, KL) were investigated in pigs fed conventional (trial 1) and divergent P diets (trial 2). The tissue set comprised kidney, liver, bone, lung, aorta, and gastrointestinal tract sections. Expression patterns revealed that non-renal tissues and cells (NRTC) express genes to form active vitamin D [1,25(OH)2D3] according to site-specific requirements. A low P diet resulted in higher serum calcitriol and increased CYP24A1 expression in the small intestine, indicating local suppression of vitamin D signaling. A high P diet prompted increased mRNA abundances of CYP27B1 for local vitamin D synthesis, specifically in bone. For FGF23 signaling, analyses revealed ubiquitous expression of FGFR1-4, whereas KL was expressed in a tissue-specific manner. Dietary P supply did not affect skeletal FGF23; however, FGFR4 and KL showed increased expression in bone at high P supply, suggesting regulation to balance mineralization. Specific NRTC responses influence vitamin D metabolism and P homeostasis, which should be considered for a thrifty but healthy P supply.

Li Y, Huang J, Wang J, Ma M, Lu Y, Wang R, Guo H. Lactoferrin Is a Potential Activator of the Vitamin D Receptor in Its Regulation of Osteogenic Activities in C57BL/6J Mice and MC3T3-E1 Cells. J Nutr 2021; 151:2105-2113. [PMID: 33982113 DOI: 10.1093/jn/nxab105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Revised: 02/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lactoferrin (LF) has been shown to promote bone anabolism, and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediates the effects of vitamin D on bone. We hypothesized that LF improves bone health by increasing VDR expression. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the role of VDR activation in LF-induced osteogenic activity in vivo and in vitro and the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS Sixty male C57BL/6J mice (aged 4 wk) were randomly assigned into 6 groups and fed vitamin D-deficient (VDD; 0 IU/kg) or vitamin D-normal diet (VDN; 1000 IU cholecalciferol/kg) and administered placebo or LF (100 or 1000 mg/kg body weight) by gavage for 24 wk. Trabecular bone structure was analyzed using micro-CT, and VDR expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry. In vitro, MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with 100 μg LF/mL to evaluate its effect on VDR expression. Finally, the direct recruitment of LF to the Vdr promoter was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. In addition, cells were transfected with pGL3-basic Vdr vector for monitoring Vdr promoter activation using luciferase assays. RESULTS LF supplementation at 100 and 1000 mg/kg revealed an ∼6.5% (P < 0.05) increase in bone mineral density in mice on VDD diet and exhibited an enhanced expression of VDR in bone compared with control. This increased expression of VDR was also observed in the bone of mice on the VDN diet, but the effect was more pronounced in VDD diet. In vitro, compared with the control group, Vdr mRNA expression was 18 times greater (P < 0.05) and peaked at 2 h posttreatment of LF. By cotransfection of the pGL3-basic Vdr vector, LF induced luciferase activity by 30% (P < 0.05) in MC3T3-E1 cells. CONCLUSIONS In vivo and in vitro, LF, a potential activator of VDR, promotes osteogenesis. This suggests that dairy products, which are rich in LF, may serve as a functional food to improve bone health.

Abstract
Since calcium and phosphorus play vital roles in a multitude of physiologic systems, disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism always lead to severe consequences such as skeletal-related and cardiovascular morbidity, or even life-threatening. Physiologically, the maintenance of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis is achieved via a variety of concerted actions of hormones such as parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D, and fibroblast growth factor (FGF23), which could be regulated mainly at three organs, the intestine, kidney, and bone. Disruption of any organ or factor might lead to disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Currently, lacking of accurate diagnostic approaches and unknown molecular basis of pathophysiology will result in patients being unable to receive a precise diagnosis and personalized treatment timely. Therefore, it is urgent to identify early diagnostic biomarkers and develop therapeutic strategies. Fortunately, proteomics and metabolomics offer promising tools to discover novel indicators and further understanding of pathological mechanisms. Therefore, in this review, we will give a systematic introduction on PTH-1,25(OH)2D-FGF23 axis in the disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism, diagnostic biomarkers identified, and potential altered metabolic pathways involved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D regulates the concentrations of calcium and phosphate in blood and promotes the growth and remodeling of bones. The circulating active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, binds to the vitamin D receptor (VDR), which heterodimerizes with the retinoid X receptor to regulate the expression of target genes. Inactivating mutations in the VDR gene cause hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR), a rare disorder characterized by an early onset of rickets, growth retardation, skeletal deformities, hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism, and in some cases alopecia. METHODS We describe eight new HVDRR patients from four unrelated consanguineous families. The VDR gene was sequenced to identify mutations. The management of patients over a period of up to 11 years following the initial diagnosis is assessed. RESULTS Although all patients exhibit main features of HVDRR and carry the same c.885C>A (p.Y295*) loss of function mutation in the VDR gene, there was heterogeneity of the manifestations of HVDRR-associated phenotypes and developmental milestones. These eight patients were successfully treated over a period of 11 years. All clinical symptoms were improved except alopecia. CONCLUSIONS The study concludes that VDR sequencing and laboratory tests are essential to confirm HVDRR and to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.

Abstract
Calcium is an important ion in cell signaling, hormone regulation, and bone health. Its regulation is complex and intimately connected to that of phosphate homeostasis. Both ions are maintained at appropriate levels to maintain the extracellular to intracellular gradients, allow for mineralization of bone, and to prevent extra skeletal and urinary calcification. The homeostasis involves the target organs intestine, parathyroid glands, kidney, and bone. Multiple hormones converge to regulate the extracellular calcium level: parathyroid hormone, vitamin D (principally 25(OH)D or 1,25(OH)2D), fibroblast growth factor 23, and α-klotho. Fine regulation of calcium homeostasis occurs in the thick ascending limb and collecting tubule segments via actions of the calcium sensing receptor and several channels/transporters. The kidney participates in homeostatic loops with bone, intestine, and parathyroid glands. Initially in the course of progressive kidney disease, the homeostatic response maintains serum levels of calcium and phosphorus in the desired range, and maintains neutral balance. However, once the kidneys are no longer able to appropriately respond to hormones and excrete calcium and phosphate, positive balance ensues leading to adverse cardiac and skeletal abnormalities. © 2016 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
The secosteroid 1α,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3] acts on cells via classical steroid hormone receptor-mediated gene transcription and by initiating rapid membrane-mediated signaling pathways. In its membrane-initiated pathway, after 1α,25(OH)2D3 interacts with protein disulfide isomerase, family A, member 3 (Pdia3) in caveolae, phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and protein kinase C (PKC) are activated. Recent efforts to determine the signaling proteins involved in the 1α,25(OH)2D3 signal from Pdia3 to PLA2 have indicated that phospholipase A2 activating protein (PLAA) and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) are required. PLAA is located in caveolae, where it interacts with Pdia3 and caveolin-1 (Cav-1) to initiate rapid signaling via CaMKII, activating PLA2, leading to activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and PKC-dependent responses.

Abstract
AIMS To analyze the relationship between oral active vitamin D treatment and mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. METHODS We examined the association of oral calcitriol treatment with mortality in 156 MHD patients (80 men and 76 women; mean age: 59 ± 15 years). The survival analysis of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality was performed using the Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox proportional-hazards analyses. RESULTS In all, 108 of the 156 patients received active vitamin D treatment. The intact parathyroid hormone level was obviously lower in the patients who received active vitamin D treatment than in those who did not. Throughout the whole follow-up, overall mortality was 16.7% (26 deaths, 13 in each group). The cardiovascular mortality rates were 14.6% (8/48) in the control group and 4.6% (5/108) in the calcitriol group. The crude analysis of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality using the Kaplan-Meier curve showed a significant reduction in mortality risk for patients who received oral active vitamin D compared with those who did not receive it (p = 0.015 and 0.026, respectively). Cox's regression analysis showed that active vitamin D treatment was associated with a significantly lower risk of all-cause mortality (RR = 0.399, 95% CI 0.185-0.862, p = 0.019) and cardiovascular mortality (RR = 0.295, 95% CI 0.094-0.93, p = 0.037). However, after adjusting for potential confounding variables, oral active vitamin D therapy was no longer clearly associated with a lower risk of either all-cause or cardiovascular mortality. CONCLUSION Oral active vitamin D treatment was associated with improved survival in MHD patients. However, this survival benefit was smaller than previously reported, and a large cohort study should be performed.

Abstract
During the last decade, our view on the skeleton as a mere solid physical support structure has been transformed, as bone emerged as a dynamic, constantly remodeling tissue with systemic regulatory functions including those of an endocrine organ. Reflecting this remarkable functional complexity, distinct classes of humoral and intracellular regulatory factors have been shown to control vital processes in the bone. Among these regulators, nuclear receptors (NRs) play fundamental roles in bone development, growth, and maintenance. NRs are DNA-binding transcription factors that act as intracellular transducers of the respective ligand signaling pathways through modulation of expression of specific sets of cognate target genes. Aberrant NR signaling caused by receptor or ligand deficiency may profoundly affect bone health and compromise skeletal functions. Ligand dependency of NR action underlies a major strategy of therapeutic intervention to correct aberrant NR signaling, and significant efforts have been made to design novel synthetic NR ligands with enhanced beneficial properties and reduced potential negative side effects. As an example, estrogen deficiency causes bone loss and leads to development of osteoporosis, the most prevalent skeletal disorder in postmenopausal women. Since administration of natural estrogens for the treatment of osteoporosis often associates with undesirable side effects, several synthetic estrogen receptor ligands have been developed with higher therapeutic efficacy and specificity. This review presents current progress in our understanding of the roles of various nuclear receptor-mediated signaling pathways in bone physiology and disease, and in development of advanced NR ligands for treatment of common skeletal disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a systemic syndrome characterized by imbalances in mineral homeostasis, renal osteodystrophy (ROD) and ectopic calcification. The mechanisms underlying this syndrome in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are not yet clear. METHODS We examined the effect of normal phosphate (NP) or high phosphate (HP) feeding in the setting of CKD on bone pathology, serum biochemistry and vascular calcification in calcification-prone dilute brown non-agouti (DBA/2) mice. RESULTS In both NP and HP-fed CKD mice, elevated serum parathyroid hormone and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were observed, but serum phosphorus levels were equivalent compared with sham controls. CKD mice on NP diet showed trabecular alterations in the long bone consistent with high-turnover ROD, including increased trabecular number with abundant osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Despite trabecular bone and serum biochemical changes, CKD/NP mice did not develop vascular calcification. In contrast, CKD/HP mice developed arterial medial calcification (AMC), more severe trabecular bone alterations and cortical bone abnormalities that included decreased cortical thickness and density, and increased cortical porosity. Cortical bone porosity and trabecular number strongly correlated with the degree of aortic calcification. CONCLUSIONS HP feeding was required to induce the full spectrum of CKD-MBD symptoms in CKD mice.

Genotoxic effects of occupational exposure to lead and influence of polymorphisms in genes involved in lead toxicokinetics and in DNA repair. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2012; 43:29-36.

Abstract
Lead is still widely used in many industrial processes and is very persistent in the environment. Although toxic effects caused by occupational exposure to lead have been extensively studied, there are still conflicting results regarding its genotoxicity. In a previous pilot study we observed some genotoxic effects in a population of lead exposed workers. Thus, we extended our study analysing a larger population, increasing the number of genotoxicity endpoints, and including a set of 20 genetic polymorphisms related to lead toxicokinetics and DNA repair as susceptibility biomarkers. Our population comprised 148 workers from two Portuguese factories and 107 controls. The parameters analysed were: blood lead levels (BLL) and δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity as exposure biomarkers, and T-cell receptor (TCR) mutation assay, micronucleus (MN) test, comet assay and OGG1-modified comet assay as genotoxicity biomarkers. Lead exposed workers showed markedly higher BLL and lower ALAD activity than the controls, and significant increases of TCR mutation frequency (TCR-Mf), MN rate and DNA damage. Oxidative damage did not experience any significant alteration in the exposed population. Besides, significant influence was observed for VDR rs1544410 polymorphism on BLL; APE1 rs1130409 and LIG4 rs1805388 polymorphisms on TCR-Mf; MUTYH rs3219489, XRCC4 rs28360135 and LIG4 rs1805388 polymorphisms on comet assay parameter; and OGG1 rs1052133 and XRCC4 rs28360135 polymorphisms on oxidative damage. Our results showed genotoxic effects related to occupational lead exposure to levels under the Portuguese regulation limit of 70 μg/dl. Moreover, a significant influence of polymorphisms in genes involved in DNA repair on genotoxicity biomarkers was observed.

Abstract
Nuclear receptors (NRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate the expression of genes involved in biologically important processes. The human vitamin D receptor (hVDR) is a member of the NR superfamily and is responsible for maintaining calcium and phosphate homeostasis. This receptor is activated by its natural ligand, 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1α, 25(OH)(2)D(3)), as well as bile acids such as lithocholic acid (LCA). Disruption of molecular interactions between the hVDR and its natural ligand result in adverse diseases, such as rickets, making this receptor a good target for drug discovery. Previous mutational analyses of the hVDR have mainly focused on residues lining the receptor's ligand binding pocket (LBP) and techniques such as alanine scanning mutagenesis and site-directed mutagenesis. In this work, a rationally designed hVDR library using randomized codons at selected positions provides insight into the role of residue C410, particularly on activation of the receptor by various ligands. A variant, C410Y, was engineered to bind LCA with increased sensitivity (EC(50) value of 3 μM and a 34-fold activation) in mammalian cell culture assays. Furthermore, this variant displayed activation with a novel small molecule, cholecalciferol (chole) which does not activate the wild-type receptor, with an EC(50) value of 4 μM and a 25-fold activation. The presence of a bulky residue at this position, such as a tyrosine or phenylalanine, may contribute towards molecular interactions that allow for the enhanced activation with LCA and novel activation with chole. Additional bulk at the same end of the pocket, such as in the case of the variant H305F; C410Y enhances the receptor's sensitivity for these ligands further, perhaps due to the filling of a cavity. The effects of residue C410 on specificity and activation with the different ligands studied were unforeseen, as this residue does not line the hVDR's LBP. Further investigating of the structure-function relationships between the hVDR and its ligands, including the mutational tolerance of residues within as well as outside the LBP, is needed for a comprehensive understanding of the functionality and interactions of the receptor with these ligands and for development of new small molecules as potential therapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Vitamin D receptor agonists (VDRA) are currently recommended for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in stage 5 CKD. They are considered to be contraindicated in the presence of low or normal (for a dialysis patient) levels of PTH due to the risk of developing adynamic bone disease, with consequent vascular calcification. However, these recommendations are increasingly at odds with the epidemiological evidence, which consistently shows a large survival advantage for patients treated with low-dose VDRAs, regardless of plasma calcium, phosphate, or PTH. A large number of pleiotropic effects of vitamin D have been described, including inhibition of renin activity, anti-inflammation, and suppression of vascular calcification stimulators and stimulation of vascular calcification inhibitors present in the uremic milieu. Laboratory studies suggest that a normal cellular vitamin D level is necessary for normal cardiomyocyte and vascular smooth muscle function. While pharmacological doses of VDRA can be harmful, the present evidence suggests that the level of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol should also be more physiological in stage 5 CKD, and that widespread use of low-dose VDRA would be beneficial. A randomized controlled trial to test this hypothesis is warranted.

Abstract
TEI-9647 antagonizes vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediated genomic actions of 1α,25(OH)2D3in human cells but is agonistic in rodent cells. The presence of Cys403, Cys410 or of both residues in the C-terminal region of human VDR (hVDR) results in antagonistic action of this compound. In the complexes of TEI-9647 with wild-type hVDR (hVDRwt) and H397F hVDR, TEI-9647 functions as an antagonist and forms a covalent adduct with hVDR according to MALDI–TOF MS. The crystal structures of complexes of TEI-9647 with rat VDR (rVDR), H305F hVDR and H305F/H397F hVDR showed that the agonistic activity of TEI-9647 is caused by a hydrogen-bond interaction with His397 or Phe397 located in helix 11. Both biological activity assays and the crystal structure of H305F hVDR complexed with TEI-9647 showed that the interaction between His305 and TEI-9647 is crucial for antagonist activity. This study indicates the following stepwise mechanism for TEI-9647 antagonism. Firstly, TEI-9647 forms hydrogen bonds to His305, which promote conformational changes in hVDR and draw Cys403 or Cys410 towards the ligand. This is followed by the formation of a 1,4-Michael addition adduct between the thiol (–SH) group of Cys403 or Cys410 and theexo-methylene group of TEI-9647.

Abstract
In the nuclear receptor of vitamin D (VDR) histidine 305 participates to the anchoring of the ligand. The VDR H305Q mutation was identified in a patient who exhibited the hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR). We report the crystal structure of human VDR H305Q-ligand binding domain bound to 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 solved at 1.8A resolution. The protein adopts the active conformation of the wild-type liganded VDR. A local conformational flexibility at the mutation site weakens the hydrogen bond between the 25-OH with Gln305, thus explaining the lower affinity of the mutant proteins for calcitriol. The structure provides the basis for a rational approach to the design of more potent ligands for the treatment of HVDRR.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Vitamin D plays an important role in the bone mineralization process. Enamel and dentin are two mineralized tissues of different origins that combine to form teeth, but the mechanism by which vitamin D regulates these tissues remains unclear. We hypothesized that vitamin D affects enamel and dentin mineralization through different mechanisms. OBJECTIVE To examine enamel and dentin mineralization in a vitamin D receptor (VDR) deficient mouse model by micro-computerized tomography (micro-CT) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). METHODS VDR wild type mice (VDR+/+) and VDR deficient (VDR-/-) littermates were sacrificed at 70.5 days old, and their mandibles were dissected. Micro-CT was used to compare mineral density (MD) of enamel and dentin of the two groups at different levels along the axis of mandibular incisors. SEM was employed to examine the ultrastructure of incisors at the levels corresponding to the levels used for the micro-CT studies. Furthermore, an accelerated eruption procedure was performed to exclude the effect of delayed eruption on enamel and dentin mineralization. RESULTS Different distribution patterns of enamel and dentin MD were observed between VDR+/+ and VDR-/- groups. Early enamel maturation, mineralization, and hypomineralization in dentin were observed in the VDR deficient mice. CONCLUSION Vitamin D may affect the mineralization of dentin systemically, and enamel mineralization may be regulated locally.

Abstract
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a ligand-inducible hormone receptor that mediates 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) action, regulating calcium and phosphate metabolism, induces potent cell differentiation activity and has immunosuppressive effects. Analogues of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) have been used clinically for some years. However, the risk of potential side effects limits the use of these substances. LG190178 is a novel nonsecosteroidal ligand for VDR. (2S)-3-[4-(3-{4-[(2R)-2-hydroxy-3,3-dimethylbutoxy]-3-methylphenyl}pentan-3-yl)-2-methylphenoxy] propane-1,2-diol (YR301) is the only one of the four evaluated stereoisomers of LG190178 to have strong activity. To understand the strong activity of YR301, the crystal structure of YR301 complexed with the rat VDR ligand-binding domain (VDR LBD) was solved at 2.0 A resolution and compared with the structure of the VDR LBD-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) complex. YR301 and 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) share the same position and the diethylmethyl group occupies a similar space to the C and D rings of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). YR301 has two characteristic hydroxyl groups which contribute to its potent activity. The first is 2'-OH, which forms hydrogen bonds to the NE2 atoms of both His301 and His393. The other is 2-OH, which interacts with Ser233 OG and Arg270 NH1. These two hydroxyl groups of YR301 correspond exactly to 25-OH and 1-OH, respectively, of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). The terminal hydroxyl group (3-OH) of YR301 is directly hydrogen bonded to Arg270 and also interacts indirectly with Tyr232 OH and the backbone NH of Asp144 via water molecules. Additional derivatization of the terminal hydroxyl group using the positions of the water molecules might be useful for the design of more potent compounds.

Abstract
An apparent conflict exists between observational studies that suggest that vitamin D receptor (VDR) activators provide a survival advantage for patients with ESRD and other studies that suggest that they cause vascular calcification. In an effort to explain this discrepancy, we studied the effects of the VDR activators calcitriol and paricalcitol on aortic calcification in a mouse model of chronic kidney disease (CKD)-stimulated atherosclerotic cardiovascular mineralization. At dosages sufficient to correct secondary hyperparathyroidism, calcitriol and paricalcitol were protective against aortic calcification, but higher dosages stimulated aortic calcification. At protective dosages, the VDR activators reduced osteoblastic gene expression in the aorta, which is normally increased in CKD, perhaps explaining this inhibition of aortic calcification. Interpreting the results obtained using this model, however, is complicated by the adynamic bone disorder; both calcitriol and paricalcitol stimulated osteoblast surfaces and rates of bone formation. Therefore, the skeletal actions of the VDR activators may have contributed to their protection against aortic calcification. We conclude that low, clinically relevant dosages of calcitriol and paricalcitol may protect against CKD-stimulated vascular calcification.

Abstract
During different stages of lactation, different requirements of calcium have to be met depending on the milk amount. Vitamin D receptors (VDR) regulate calcium homeostasis by increasing the entry of Ca into blood from bone stores and dietary sources. The purpose of this study was to investigate if age and breed of cows influence VDR amounts across different segments of the gastrointestinal tract. Thirty-six cows were used (18 Brown Swiss, 18 Holstein Friesan, both > 5.5 years or < 4.5 years). Tissue specimens of the intestines were collected from the cows. Formaldehyde-fixed and microwave-treated paraffin sections were used for VDR immunohistochemistry employing a biotinylated monoclonal rat antibody and streptavidin peroxidase technique. The results showed that nuclei and cytoplasm of enterocytes stained positively for VDRs. Strongest immunoreactions were observed in intermediate and basal glandular cells. No significant differences were observed between the different groups. Vitamin D receptors immunoreactivities were prominent in duodenal mucosa, lower in jejunum and in colon, decreased further in ileum and were lowest in caecum. Decreases in number of positively marked cells and staining intensities resulted in reduced immunoreactions. The results of this study indicate that VDR are highly expressed at the site of maximal intestinal calcium absorption. No significant influence of age and breed was observed. The animals used were not in a negative Ca balance. The cows were all in the stage of late or mid lactation. During these periods, the Ca requirements are low and the diets are high in Ca concentration; and the animals are adapted to these circumstances. Passive absorption in adult animals seems to dominate when Ca intake is adequate or high. The active absorption may play a considerably more significant role during the peripartal period, when Ca homeostatic mechanisms are challenged because of tremendous Ca demand at the initiation of lactation.

Abstract
Observational studies have determined hyperphosphatemia to be a cardiovascular risk factor in chronic kidney disease. Mechanistic studies have elucidated that hyperphosphatemia is a direct stimulus to vascular calcification, which is one cause of morbid cardiovascular events contributing to the excess mortality of chronic kidney disease. This review describes the pathobiology of hyperphosphatemia that develops as a consequence of positive phosphate balance in chronic kidney disease and the mechanisms by which hyperphosphatemia acts on neointimal vascular cells that are stimulated to mineralize in chronic kidney disease. The characterization of hyperphosphatemia of chronic kidney disease as a distinct syndrome in clinical medicine with unique disordered skeletal remodeling, heterotopic mineralization and cardiovascular morbidity is presented.

Endocrine and bone consequences of cyclic nutritional changes in the calcium, phosphate and vitamin D status in the rat: an in vivo depletion-repletion-redepletion study. Bone 2007; 41:422-36.

Abstract
Hypocalcemia secondary to vitamin D3 (D3) depletion (D-Ca-) perturbs extra- and intracellular calcium (Ca). To study the effect of cyclic nutritional changes in the D3 and calcium (Ca) repletion state, we investigated the lasting effects of calcium or D3 repletion on calcium and bone metabolism using a novel depletion-repletion-redepletion protocol. D-Ca- rats presenting osteomalacia without rickets and a significant impairment in whole body mineral content (BMC) accretion were repleted with either calcium alone [3% (Ca+3) or 0.5% (Ca+0.5)] or D3 and then switched back to the original D-Ca- diet. All repletion protocols, except Ca+0.5, normalized serum (S) Ca and parathyroid hormone (PTH) but Ca+3 exhibited growth retardation and hypophosphatemia. D3 normalized BMC in D-Ca- and healed osteomalacia while Ca+0.5 led to 50% normalization. In contrast, rickets with no BMC accretion was observed in Ca+3 most likely secondary to hypophosphatemia. Upon redepletion, S Ca rapidly decreased while S PTH and phosphate increased. D3 and Ca+0.5 survived the redepletion protocols but all Ca+3 died within 5 days upon sudden Ca withdrawal whereas progressive Ca redepletion significantly delayed the death rate. Data indicate that during the calcium redepletion period, correction of hypophosphatemia in Ca+3 allowed calcification of the enlarged growth plates thus resulting in an increased demand for calcium. It is postulated that this increased demand for calcium, in conjunction with low dietary calcium and the bone calcium reservoir incapacity to provide sufficient calcium to sustain S Ca, led to the observed acute hypocalcemia which was most likely the cause of death. This hypothesis is further supported by the observation that Ca+3 submitted to a progressive Ca deprivation exhibited a delay in death rate, a progressive involution of rickets and survival only upon return to the D-Ca- phenotype. Furthermore, in Ca+3, increasing dietary phosphate by 0.6% to achieve a Ca/P ratio similar to Ca+0.5 or D3 prevented the development of hypophosphatemia, slightly increased S Ca, significantly increased BMC, prevented the development of rickets and allowed 100% survival during rapid calcium withdrawal. Collectively, data clearly demonstrate the importance of the dietary Ca/P ratio to maintain S Ca/P at optimum concentrations for bone health.

Abstract
New advances in the pathogenesis of renal osteodystrophy (ROD) change the perspective from which many of its features and treatment are viewed. Calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and vitamin D have been shown to be important determinants of survival associated with kidney diseases. Now ROD dependent and independent of these factors is linked to survival more than just skeletal frailty. This review focuses on recent discoveries that renal injury impairs skeletal anabolism decreasing the osteoblast compartment of the skeleton and consequent bone formation. This discovery and the discovery that PTH regulates the hematopoietic stem cell niche alters our view of secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease (CKD) from that of a disease to that of a necessary adaptation to renal injury that goes awry. Furthermore, ROD is shown to be an underappreciated factor in the level of the serum phosphorus in CKD. The discovery and the elucidation of the mechanism of hyperphosphatemia as a cardiovascular risk in CKD change the view of ROD. It is now recognized as more than a skeletal disorder, it is an important component of the mortality of CKD that can be treated.

Abstract
The Wnt pathway regulates cell proliferation and differentiation in development and disease, with a number of recent reports linking Wnt to control of osteoblast differentiation and bone mass. There is also accumulating evidence for interaction between the Wnt and nuclear receptor (NR)-mediated control pathways in non-osseous tissues. Calcitriol (1,25D(3)), which is the active hormonal ligand for the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a member of the NR superfamily, induces osteoblastic cell cycle arrest and expression of genes involved in matrix mineralization in vitro, with over-expression of VDR in mature osteoblasts increasing bone mass in mice. To determine whether the vitamin D and Wnt control pathways interact in osteoblastic regulation, we investigated the treatment effects of 1,25D(3) and/or lithium chloride (LiCl), which mimics canonical Wnt pathway activation, on osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. Treatments were initiated at various stages in differentiating cultures of the MC3T3-E1 osteoprogenitor cell line. Treatment of subconfluent cultures (day 1) with either agent transiently increased cell proliferation but decreased viable cell number, with additive inhibition after combined treatment. Interestingly, although early response patterns of alkaline phosphatase activity to 1,25D(3) and LiCl were opposite, mineralized nodule formation was virtually abolished by either treatment initiated at day 1 and remained very low after initiating treatments at matrix-formation stage (day 6). By contrast, mineralized nodule formation was substantial but reduced if 1,25D(3) and/or LiCl treatment was initiated at mineralization onset (day 13). Osteocalcin production was reduced by all treatments at all time points. Thus, vitamin D and/or canonical Wnt pathway activation markedly reduced mineralization, with additive inhibitory effects on viable cell number. The strength of the response was dependent on the stage of differentiation at treatment initiation. Importantly, the inhibitory effect of LiCl in this committed osteoblastic cell line contrasts with the stimulatory effects of genetic Wnt pathway activation in human and mouse bone tissue. This is consistent with the anabolic Wnt response occurring at a stage prior to the mature osteoprogenitor in the intact skeleton and suggests that prolonged or repeated activation of the canonical Wnt response in committed cells may have an inhibitory effect on osteoblast differentiation and function.

Abstract
Vitamin D is frequently prescribed by rheumatologists to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Several observations have shown that vitamin D inhibits proinflammatory processes by suppressing the enhanced activity of immune cells that take part in the autoimmune reaction. Moreover, recent evidence strongly suggests that vitamin D supplementation may be therapeutically beneficial, particularly for Th1-mediated autoimmune disorders. Some reports imply that vitamin D may even be preventive in certain disorders such as multiple sclerosis and diabetes type 1. It seems that vitamin D has crossed the boundaries of calcium metabolism and has become a significant factor in a number of physiological functions, specifically as a biological inhibitor of inflammatory hyperactivity.

Abstract
Vitamin D (VD) plays an important role in calcium homeostasis. 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol or calcitriol modulates gene transcription via nuclear VD receptors (VDR). In the intestines, VD promotes calcium resorption via VDR. VDR has not been systematically assessed within the intestine in any species. We therefore present a semiquantitative immunohistochemical study of the distribution patterns of VDR in goat intestines. Intestinal tissue probes were collected from 5 lambs and 5 non-lactating non-pregnant dams, fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin and assessed for VDR. Nuclear VDR immunoreaction was scored semiquantitatively. VDR exhibited a segment-specific distribution pattern. Goblet cells were always devoid of VDR. Enterocytes within the surface epithelium and the superficial crypts generally demonstrated only a weak immunoreaction along the length of the intestine, while basally and/or intermediately located crypt epithelial cells exhibited strong VDR immunoreactions in the duodenum, jejunum and colon descendens. The difference in VDR staining between deep and superficial locations was most prominent in the duodenum and less evident in the jejunum, ileum and colon descendens. Results demonstrate that VDR distribution exhibits cell type-, segment- and location-specific patterns in the goat. Data may serve as a basis for future experiments on the role of VDR in Ca metabolism.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in complex with 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 revealed the presence of several water molecules near the A-ring linking the ligand C-2 position to the protein surface. Here, we report the crystal structures of the human VDR ligand binding domain bound to selected C-2 alpha substituted analogues, namely, methyl, propyl, propoxy, hydroxypropyl, and hydroxypropoxy. These specific replacements do not modify the structure of the protein or the ligand, but with the exception of the methyl substituent, all analogues affect the presence and/or the location of the above water molecules. The integrity of the channel interactions and specific C-2 alpha analogue directed additional interactions correlate with the binding affinity of the ligands. In contrast, the resulting loss or gain of H-bonds does not reflect the magnitude of HL60 cell differentiation. Our overall findings highlight a rational approach to the design of more potent ligands by building in features revealed in the crystal structures.
