Vitamin D receptor regulates autophagy in the normal mammary gland and in luminal breast cancer cells

Abstract: SignificanceEpidemiological evidence suggests that vitamin D can protect women from developing breast cancer (BC). This study reveals that vitamin D and its receptor regulate autophagy in both normal mammary epithelial cells and luminal BCs, and suggests a potential mechanism underlying the link between vitamin D levels and BC risk. In addition, this work suggests that vitamin D receptor ligands could be exploited therapeutically for the treatment of a significant subset of BCs.

“…VDR was shown to downregulate autophagy via constitutive LC3B repression and this repression appears to be abrogated by vitamin D treatment. This abrogation of LC3B repression, together with the upregulation of transcription of Atg defines the regulatory role of vitamin D in autophagy in the breast cancer model used …”
