  • Title: The molecular nature of 1,25-(OH)2-D3-induced calcium-binding protein biosynthesis in the rat.
    Author: Bronner F, Buckley M.
    Journal: Adv Exp Med Biol; 1982; 151():355-60. PubMed ID: 6897481.
    Abstract:
    Exogenous 1,25-(OH)2-D3, administered to vitamin D-replete animals on a high calcium diet, induces biosynthesis of the duodenal, cytosolic calcium-binding protein (CaBP) in less than 2 h. This process can be blocked by simultaneously administered cycloheximide, but not by actinomycin D. In vitamin D-replete animals on a low Ca diet, on the other hand, 1,25-(OH)2-D3 administration leads to new CaBP synthesis only after about 7 h; this process can be blocked by actinomycin D. In vitamin D-deficient animals on a high calcium diet who have no CaBP, treatment with 1,25-(OH)2-D3 induces CaBP formation in congruent to 8 h; this process is known to be blocked by actinomycin D. Thus in D-replete animals on a low calcium diet and in D-deficient animals, CaBP biosynthesis proceeds by a transcriptional route, whereas in D-replete animals on a high calcium diet the rapid response appears to be posttranscriptional. This finding points to the possibility of a more rapid regulatory action of vitamin D than previously reported and how vitamin D might function in the D-replete state.
