PG - 367-73 AB - Vitamin D and its analogues are potent regulators of cell growth and differentiation both in vivo and in vitro. We studied the effects of 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) [25(OH)D(3)], 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] and vitamin D analogue, EB 1089, on the growth of a human ovarian cancer cell line, OVCAR-3. We also studied the expression of vitamin D metabolising enzymes 24-hydroxylase (24OHase) and 1alpha-hydroxylase (1alphaOHase). Our results showed that high concentrations (10 and 100 nM) of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) inhibited a cell proliferation, whereas low concentration (0.1 nM) stimulated growth of the OVCAR-3 cells. In the concentration range of 10-500 nM a prohormone, 25(OH)D(3), stimulated growth. An amount of 1 nM EB 1089 and 100 nM 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) inhibited growth with an equal magnitude. The expression of 24OHase was strongly induced by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and EB 1089 in OVCAR-3 cells, and analysis of vitamin D metabolites showed the functionality of 24OHase. An inhibition of 24OHase activity with a novel 24OHase inhibitor enhanced growth-inhibiting effects of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and suppressed the growth stimulation of 100 nM 25(OH)D(3). We also report the expression of a vitamin D activating enzyme, 1alphaOHase, in 7 ovarian cancer cell lines. The production of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) in OVCAR-3 cells was low, possibly due to an extensive activity of 24OHase or a low 1alphaOHase activity. These results suggest that in ovarian cancer cells vitamin D metabolizing enzymes might play a key role in modulating the growth response to vitamin D. The possible mitogenic effects of vitamin D should be considered when evaluating treatment of ovarian cancer with vitamin D. CI - Copyright 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
