Effects of Vitamin D<sub>3</sub> on Keratinocyte Proliferation and Differentiation in vitro: Modulation by Ligands for Retinoic Acid and Retinoid X Receptors

Abstract: Keratinocytes express receptors for 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], all-trans-retinoic acid (all-trans-RA), 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA) and triiodothyronine (T3). The vitamin-D receptor (VDR) can act as a transcription factor by forming homodimers or heterodimers with the retinoic-acid receptor (RAR), the retinoid X receptor (RXR) or the triiodothyronine receptor (TR). This study investigated whether the antiproli-ferative and prodifferentiating effects o… Show more

“…25 In addition, NB4 cells express PML-RARa, RARa, RXRa and RXRb in basal conditions as well as RARb upon challenge with ATRA. 26 For these reasons, we first compared the effects of 9-cis RA [pan-RAR and pan-RXR agonist], 25 29 as well as CD2409 [anti-AP1 retinoid] to those of ATRA, using two different concentrations (10 76 and 10 78 M) of each retinoid. We did not take into consideration agonists of RARg, since this type of receptor is not expressed in undifferentiated or ATRA-differentiated NB4 cells.…”

“…39 In studies of hamster sebaceous gland cells in vivo, vitamin D increased the accumulation of wax esters in pilosebaceous units while decreasing the amount of triglycerides. In addition, there is positive biological interaction between the metabolic effects of testosterone and vitamin D in other organ systems, although this has not yet been shown in skin.…”

“…Vitamin A and vitamin D exert their effects on gene transcription after binding to specific nuclear receptors, retinoic acid receptors or retinoid X receptors (RXRs) [9] , and vitamin D receptor (VDR) [10,11] , respectively. Moreover, it has been known that RXR and VDR may form heterodimers [12] , and many genes that are transcriptionally active in keratinocytes, including those controlling keratinization, inflammation, cell cycle and apoptosis, contain regulatory sequences that are targets for RXR, VDR or their heterodimers [13] .…”

The formation of RXR/VDR heterodimers may lead to different interactions between the 2 pathways, resulting in additive, synergistic or antagonistic effects upon concomitant administration of vitamins A and D [10,14] . The therapeutical potential of vitamins A and D in skin diseases may be limited by the fact that vitamin D in its active form affects calcium homeostasis [15] , while 15-25% of the patients fail to have satisfactory therapeutical responses to retinoids [16] .…”
