In this study we aimed to assess vitamin D metabolism in patients with Cushing’s disease (CD) compared to healthy individuals in the setting of bolus cholecalciferol treatment. The study group included 30 adults with active CD and the control group included 30 apparently healthy adults with similar age, sex and BMI. All participants received a single dose (150,000 IU) of cholecalciferol aqueous solution orally. Laboratory assessments including serum vitamin D metabolites (25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 1,25(OH)2D3, 3-epi-25(OH)D3 and 24,25(OH)2D3), free 25(OH)D, vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) as well as serum and urine biochemical parameters were performed before the intake and on Days 1, 3 and 7 after the administration. All data were analyzed with non-parametric statistics. Patients with CD had similar to healthy controls 25(OH)D3 levels (p > 0.05) and higher 25(OH)D3/24,25(OH)2D3 ratios (p < 0.05) throughout the study. They also had lower baseline free 25(OH)D levels (p < 0.05) despite similar DBP levels (p > 0.05) and lower albumin levels (p < 0.05); 24-h urinary free cortisol showed significant correlation with baseline 25(OH)D3/24,25(OH)2D3 ratio (r = 0.36, p < 0.05). The increase in 25(OH)D3 after cholecalciferol intake was similar in obese and non-obese states and lacked correlation with BMI (p > 0.05) among patients with CD, as opposed to the control group. Overall, patients with CD have a consistently lower 25(OH)D3/24,25(OH)2D3 ratio, which is indicative of a decrease in 24-hydroxylase activity. This altered activity of the principal vitamin D catabolism might influence the effectiveness of cholecalciferol treatment. The observed difference in baseline free 25(OH)D levels is not entirely clear and requires further study.

Abstract The serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3 is accepted as marker for a person’s vitamin D status but its role for the outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is controversially discussed. The impact of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 on HSCT outcome, however, has never been studied. In a discovery cohort of 143 HSCT patients we repeatedly (day −16 to 100) measured 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 and in comparison the well-established marker for serum vitamin D status 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3. Only lower 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 levels around HSCT (day −2 to 7, peritransplant) were significantly associated with higher 1-year treatment-related mortality (TRM) risk (Mann–Whitney U test, P = 0.001). This was confirmed by Cox-model regression without and with adjustment for baseline risk factors and severe acute Graft-versus-Host disease (aGvHD; unadjusted P = 0.001, adjusted P = 0.005). The optimal threshold for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 to identify patients at high risk was 139.5 pM. Also in three replication cohorts consisting of altogether 365 patients 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 levels below 139.5 pM had a 3.3-fold increased risk of TRM independent of severe aGvHD compared to patients above 139.5 pM (Cox-model unadjusted P < 0.0005, adjusted P = 0.001). Our data highlight peritransplant 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 levels but not the commonly monitored 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3 levels as potent predictor of 1-year TRM and suggest to monitor both vitamin D metabolites in HSCT patients.

The 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3]-inducible C-24 oxidation pathway is a major catabolic pathway for vitamin D metabolites in target tissues. Using intestinal homogenates derived from 1,25(OH)2D3-treated mice, we examined the time course of induction, the intestinal localization and kinetics of induced enzyme activity, as well as the sensitivity of induction to transcriptional inhibitors actinomycin D and alpha-amanitin. 24-Hydroxylation of 500 nM 3H-labeled 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] and 50 nM 3H-labeled 1,25(OH)2D3 by duodenal homogenates was detected 1 h after 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment; C-24 oxidation products of 25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 peaked at approximately 6 h and remained elevated for 17 h. Induced enzyme activity was localized to the mitochondrial fraction, was highest in duodenum, and was also detected in jejunum, ileum, and colon. The apparent Michaelis constant of the induced duodenal enzyme for 25(OH)D3 was 451 nM and for 1,25(OH)2D3 was 14 nM. Induction of intestinal catabolic activity was inhibited by prior treatment of 1,25(OH)2D3-injected mice with either actinomycin D or alpha-amanitin. The characteristics of the 1,25(OH)2D3-inducible C-24 oxidation pathway in the intestine resembled that of the kidney. However, the catabolic pathway was constitutively expressed only in the kidney. We conclude that 1,25(OH)2D3-inducible degradation of vitamin D metabolites occurs throughout the length of mouse intestine and can be prevented by transcriptional inhibitors, suggesting that mRNA synthesis is required for the induction process.

The toothless (tl) rat is a nonlethal osteopetrotic mutation characterized by systemic skeletal sclerosis, growth plate morphology suggestive of rickets, and morphological evidence of reduced osteoclastic bone resorption. Vitamin D metabolites, serum calcium and phosphorus levels, and the developmental appearance of vitamin D-dependent intestinal calcium binding protein (calbindin-D9k) was studied in normal and mutant rats of tl stock from 7 to 35 days of age. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] was found to be significantly elevated in mutant animals by 7 days of age (71 +/- 9 pM, tl/tl vs. 24 +/- 8 pM, +/?) and continued to increase to a peak of 428 pM at the time of weaning. This was 240% higher than normals at this period. The elevated levels of 1,25-(OH)2D3 stimulated a significant and precocious appearance of intestinal calbindin-D9k in mutants, beginning by 14 days of age and reaching their peak levels at 21 days postpartum (25.6 +/- 1.7 micrograms/mg protein, tl/tl vs. 16.4 +/- 1.5 micrograms/mg protein, +/?). The cause of the elevated circulating levels of 1,25-(OH)2D3 in tl rats is unknown but may be due to the low serum phosphorus levels present in these animals.
