    Abstract:
    To examine whether quercetin interacts with vitamin D receptor, we investigated the effects of quercetin on vitamin D receptor activity in human intestinal Caco-2 cells. The effects of quercetin on the expression of the vitamin D receptor target genes, vitamin D3 24-hydroxylase, cytochrome P450 3A4, multidrug resistance protein 1, and transient receptor potential vanilloid type 6 were measured using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The vitamin D receptor siRNA was used to assess the involvement of the vitamin D receptor. Vitamin D receptor activation using a vitamin D responsive element-mediated cytochrome P450 3A4 reporter gene assay was investigated in Caco-2 cells transfected with human vitamin D receptor. We also studied the magnitude of the vitamin D receptor activation and/or synergism between 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] and quercetin-like flavonoids. Slight but significant increases in the mRNA expression of cytochrome P450 3A4, vitamin D3 24-hydroxylase, multidrug resistance protein 1, and transient receptor potential vanilloid type 6 were observed after 3 days of continual quercetin treatment. The silencing effect of vitamin D receptor by vitamin D receptor siRNA in Caco-2 cells significantly attenuated the induction of the vitamin D receptor target genes. Moreover, quercetin significantly enhanced cytochrome P450 3A4 reporter activity in Caco-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the expression of exogenous vitamin D receptor further stimulated the vitamin D receptor activity. Quercetin-like flavonoids such as kaempferol stimulated the vitamin D receptor activity in a manner similar to that seen with quercetin. Taken together, the data indicates that quercetin upregulates cytochrome P450 3A4 and multidrug resistance protein 1 expression in Caco-2 cells likely via a vitamin D receptor-dependent pathway.
