Recently, we generated type II rickets model rats, including Vdr(R270L), Vdr(H301Q), Vdr(R270L/H301Q), and Vdr-knockout (KO), by genome editing. All generated animals showed symptoms of rickets, including growth retardation and abnormal bone formation. Among these, only Vdr-KO rats exhibited abnormal skin formation and alopecia. To elucidate the relationship between VDR function and rickets symptoms, each VDR was expressed in human HaCaT-VDR-KO cells using an adenovirus vector. We also constructed an adenovirus vector expressing VDR(V342M) corresponding to human VDR(V346M) which causes alopecia. We compared the nu-clear translocation of VDRs after adding 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3) or 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25D3) at final concentrations of 10 and 100 nM, respectively. Both 25D3 and 1,25D3 induced the nuclear translocation of wild type VDR and VDR(V342M). Conversely, VDR(R270L) translocation was observed in the presence of 100 nM 25D3, with almost no translocation following treatment with 10 nM 1,25D3. VDR(R270L/H301Q) failed to undergo nuclear translocation. These results were consistent with their affinity for each ligand. Notably, VDR (R270L/H301Q) may exist in an unliganded form under physiological conditions, and factors interacting with VDR(R270L/H301Q) may be involved in the hair growth cycle. Thus, this novel system using an adenovirus vector could be valuable in elucidating vitamin D receptor functions.
