The active form of vitamin D3, 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 [1,25(OH)(2)D-3], is a potent ligand for the nuclear receptor vitamin D receptor (VDR) and induces myeloid leukemia cell differentiation. The cardiotonic steroid bufalin enhances vitamin D-induced differentiation of leukemia cells and VDR transactivation activity. In this study, we examined the combined effects of 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 and bufalin on differentiation and VDR target gene expression in human leukemia cells. Bufalin in combination with 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 enhanced the expression of VDR target genes, such as CYP24A1 and cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, and effectively induced differentiation phenotypes. An inhibitor of the Erk mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway partially inhibited bufalin induction of VDR target gene expression. 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 treatment induced transient nuclear expression of VDR in HL60 cells. Interestingly, bufalin enhanced 1,25(OH)(2)D-3-induced nuclear VDR expression. The MAP kinase pathway inhibitor increased nuclear VDR expression induced by 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 and did not change that by 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 plus bufalin. A proteasome inhibitor also enhanced 1,25(OH)(2)D-3-induced CYP24A1 expression and nuclear VDR expression. Bufalin-induced nuclear VDR expression was associated with histone acetylation and VDR recruitment to the CYP24A1 promoter in HL60 cells. Thus, the Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitor bufalin modulates VDR function through several mechanisms, including Erk MAP kinase activation and increased nuclear VDR expression. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
