The secosteroid hormone 1 alpha-25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 [1,25-OH)(2)D-3] has been found to regulate the growth and differentiation of human prostate cancer cells, although the precise mechanisms mediating these effects have not been defined. 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3 is capable of acting through both nongenomic signaling pathways involving a membrane-associated receptor and genomic pathways involving the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR). The primary purpose of this study was to directly evaluate the role of the nuclear VDR in mediating the growth inhibitory effects of 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3 on human prostate cancer cells. The cell line JCA-1 was used because it fails to express detectable numbers of VDRs and is not measurably affected by 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3 in growth studies. These cells were stably transfected with a wild-type VDR complementary DNA construct producing the following results: 1) the expression of high affinity nuclear VDRs, 2) the dose-dependent inhibition of growth by 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3, and 3) a significant increase in 24-hydroxylase up-regulation by 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3 compared to that in controls. These data indicate that nuclear VDR expression is sufficient to mediate the antiproliferative effects of 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 on prostate cancer cells. In addition, because the stereoisomer 1 beta,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 failed to block these antiproliferative effects, we conclude that nongenomic mechanisms of action are not requisite for growth inhibition by 1,25-(OH)(2)D-3.
