It has been demonstrated that 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3-24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1) is a key enzyme that neutralizes vitamin D activity, which may have an anti-tumor effect. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to explore the effect of the active metabolite of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-D3) on thyroid cancer cells following the downregulation of CYP24A1. A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay identified that CYP24A1 knockdown enhanced the anti-proliferative effects of 1,25-D3 on thyroid cancer cells. Furthermore, the results of the scratch wound and Transwell assays indicated that CYP24A1 knockdown enhanced the inhibitory effect of 1,25-D3 on cell migration. The results from reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis indicated that treatment with 1,25-D3 and CYP24A1 knockdown synergistically enhanced the expression of the epithelial-related gene E-cadherin and decreased the expression of the mesenchymal-related genes N-cadherin and vimentin. Following CYP24A1 knockdown and treatment with 1,25-D3, the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 and metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 were significantly decreased and increased, respectively, compared with the group that underwent treatment with 25-D3 alone. Furthermore, protein kinase B (Akt) and β-catenin activity was significantly decreased by this synergetic effect compared with the group that underwent treatment with 1,25-D3 alone. The results of the current study suggest that CYP24A1 knockdown contributes to the anti-tumor effect of 1,25-D3 and that this effect may be due to deactivation of the Akt and β-catenin signaling pathways. Therefore, CYP24A1 knockdown and 1,25-D3 treatment may be used synergistically as a novel therapeutic strategy to treat patients with thyroid cancer.
