  • Title: Dietary phosphate deprivation increases 1,25-dihyroxyvitamin D3 synthesis in rat kidney in vitro.
    Author: Gray RW, Napoli JL.
    Journal: J Biol Chem; 1983 Jan 25; 258(2):1152-5. PubMed ID: 6687381.
    Abstract:
    A sensitive radioreceptor assay has been used to measure in vitro 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) synthesis in vitamin D-replete rats. Incubation of kidney cortical slices with 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 produced a product which co-migrated on high performance liquid chromatography with authentic 1,25(OH)2D3 in two different solvent systems and displaced 1,25(OH)2D3 from its intestinal receptor. In addition, mass spectral analysis of the product produced a mass fragmentation consistent with that of authentic 1,25(OH)2D3. Endogenous renal cortical 1,25(OH)2D3 content in phosphate-deprived rats averaged 1.1 +/- 0.3 pmol/g (n = 11), which was significantly greater than the renal cortical 1,25(OH)2D3 content of age-matched rats eating a normal diet which averaged 0.44 +/- 0.21 pmol/g (n = 8, p less than 0.001). After incubation, net 1,25(OH)2D3 synthesis in renal slices from phosphate-deprived rats averaged 51 pmol/g/h, about 13-fold greater than the mean of 3.8 pmol/g/h observed in renal slices from rats eating the normal diet. These results indicate that the elevated plasma 1,25(OH)2D3 levels observed in rats during dietary phosphate deprivation are due to increased renal synthesis of the hormone.
