An increase in maternal serum levels of 1.alpha.,25-dihydroxycalciferol during pregnancy was linked to enhancement of intestinal Ca absorption. Several sites of its synthesis were proposed in different species, human decidua being one of them. Collagenase-dispersed decidual cells isolated from term placenta were fractionated on a Percoll gradient. The isolated cells were set in culture in the presence of 6 nM [3H]cholecalciferol. Two cell populations of similar morphology hydrolyzed the substrate, yielding a compound that had a mass spectrum identical to and that comigrated with authentic 1.alpha.,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol in 4 chromatographic systems and bound to a specific rachitic chick receptor. These preparations provide a potential system by which the kinetics and regulation of the synthesis of the hormonal form of vitamin D by human placenta can be studied in vitro.
