Effects of 1,25(OH)2D3, 25OHD3, and EB1089 on cell growth and Vitamin D receptor mRNA and 1alpha-hydroxylase mRNA expression in primary cultures of the canine prostate.
The aim of this study was to investigate effects of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) (calcitriol), 25OHD(3), and EB1089 on cell growth and on Vitamin D receptor (VDR) mRNA and 1alpha-hydroxylase (1alpha-OHase) mRNA expression in normal canine prostatic primary cultures. Canine prostatic epithelial cells were isolated, cultured, and treated with vehicle (ethanol), calcitriol, 25OHD(3), and EB1089 at 10(-9) and 10(-7)M. The VDR was present in epithelial and stromal cells of the canine prostate gland. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), 25OHD(3), and EB1089 inhibited epithelial cell growth at 10(-7)M compared to vehicle-treated controls [calcitriol (P < 0.01), EB1089 (P < 0.01), and 25OHD(3) (P < 0.05)]. Epithelial cells treated with calcitriol and EB1089 at 10(-7)M had slightly increased VDR mRNA expression (0.2-0.3-fold) at 6 and 12h compared to controls. There was no difference in 1alpha-OHase mRNA expression in epithelial cells treated with these three compounds. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and its analogs may be effective antiproliferative agents of epithelial cells in certain types of prostate cancer.
