Using both clonal Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in culture and the hen ovary, a search was made for the presence of specific 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] receptors. Receptor analyses were carried out on high salt cytosols of CHO cells and high salt extracts of hen ovarian nuclei that were originally isolated in low salt buffer. Both CHO and hen ovary contain a specific high affinity 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor (Kd = 10-10-10-11 M), which sediments (3.3S) in high salt sucrose gradients identically to the chick intestinal receptor for 1,25-(OH)2D3. This 3.3S macromolecule from both sources adsorbed to DNA-cellulose at 0.1 M KCl and eluted during a linear salt gradient at 0.2-0.22 M KCl, a property characteristic of the 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor. Saturation analysis indicated that there are .apprx. 2000 copies of the receptor molecule per CHO cell. The effect of 1,25-(OH)2D3 on ovarian cell growth in monolayer culture of CHO cells was investigated. Significant inhibition of CHO cell growth (up to 60%) was observed in the presence of physiological (100 pM) levels of 1,25-(OH)2D3 in the culture medium. This inhibition of growth was dose dependent and was accompanied by a parallel decrease in total cell protein. Concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 as high as 1 nM did not affect CHO cell growth, indicating that, like receptor binding, cell proliferation is selectively influenced by 1,25-(OH)2D3 over other vitamin D metabolites. Ovarian cells in mammals and birds possess the 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptor which may play a role in the effect of 1,25-(OH)2D3 on the growth of these cells in culture.
