We have investigated the antitumor and apoptotic effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(VD3) in glioma cell lines and in primary cultures derived from surgical specimens from patients. Our results showed that certain glioma cells underwent apoptosis, whereas others were resistant. In an attempt to search for parameters that dictate VD3sensitivity, we discovered a unique 220-kDa protein in glioma cells that were sensitive to VD3. This protein was not a classical vitamin D receptor (VDR), but was recognized by two different anti-VDR monoclonal antibodies. Furthermore, the level of the 220-kDa protein was inversely correlated with the ic50of VD3in these glioma cells. This 220-kDa protein was also present in frozen brain tumor samples, and the level of expression appeared to correlate with their corresponding primary cultures. Thus, our findings suggest that this 220-kDa protein may play an important role in determining VD3sensitivity in malignant glioma.
