Activated vitamin D analog, paricalcitol, has been shown to attenuate the development of cardiac hypertrophy in Dahl salt sensitive (DSS) rats. To determine whether an anti-hypertrophic effect is class specific, we tested if doxercalciferol (a pro-hormone vitamin D2 analog) could also attenuate the development of cardiac hypertrophy in DSS rats. Male DSS rats were fed a high salt (HS) diet for 6 weeks beginning at 6 weeks of age. Doxercalciferol was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) at 150ng, 3 times a week (Mon, Wed, Fri) for six weeks. Pathological and echocardiographic findings demonstrated that rats on HS diet with doxercalciferol administration had significant decrease in cardiac hypertrophy and improved cardiac function compared to the HS + vehicle. In addition, there was a significant decrease in plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level and tissue atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) mRNA level with doxercalciferol treatment. Doxercalciferol also significantly reduced the level of protein kinase C-α (PKCα) suggesting that PKC-mediated cardiac hypertrophy may be associated with vitamin D deficiency. Administration of doxercalciferol attenuated the development of HS diet induced cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac dysfunction in DSS rats.
