Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The role of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) on the intestinal NCX activity was studied in vitamin D-deficient chicks (-D) as well as the hormone effect on NCX1 protein and gene expression and the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the responses. Normal, -D and -D chicks treated with cholecalciferol or 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) were employed. In some experiments, -D chicks were injected with cycloheximide or with cycloheximide and 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) simultaneously. NCX activity was decreased by -D diet, returning to normal values after 50 IU daily of cholecalciferol/10 days or a dose of 1 μg calcitriol/kg of b.w. for 15 h. Cycloheximide blocked NCX activity enhancement produced by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). NCX1 protein and gene expression were diminished by -D diet and enhanced by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). Vitamin D receptor expression was decreased by -D diet, effect that disappeared after 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) treatment. Rapid effects of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) on intestinal NCX activity were also demonstrated. The abolition of the rapid effects through addition of Rp-cAMPS and staurosporine suggests that non genomic effects of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) on NCX activity are mediated by activation of PKA and PKC pathways. In conclusion, 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) enhances the intestinal NCX activity in -D chicks through genomic and non genomic mechanisms.
