Protein kinase C isoforms in the chemopreventive effects of a novel vitamin D3 analogue in rat colonic tumorigenesis.
We recently showed that dietary supplementation with an analogue of 1alpha,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3, 1alpha,25-dihydroxy-16-ene-23-yne-26,27 F6-vitamin D3 (RO24-5531), reduced the incidence of colonic tumors in rats treated with azoxymethane (AOM). The aim of this study was to determine whether alterations in specific isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC) are involved in this phenomenon.. Protein abundance and subcellular distribution of several PKC isoforms were examined and compared in AOM-induced tumors of rats fed control and RO24-5531-supplemented diets.. In both AOM-induced colonic adenomas and carcinomas, a significant down-regulation of PKC-alpha, -delta, and -zeta and an up-regulation of PKC-beta11 were found compared with control colonocytes. Dietary RO24-5531 preserved the expression of PKC-zeta and increased the abundance of PKC-epsilon in carcinogen-induced adenomas.. Because identical changes in specific isoforms of PKC were found in AOM-induced adenomas and carcinomas, these alterations may be involved in the early stage(s) of colonic malignant transformation. Moreover, the ability of RO24-5531 to block the changes in PKC-zeta induced by AOM, as well as to up-regulate PKC-epsilon, may underlie its ability to prevent adenomas from progressing to carcinomas.

The antiproliferative effect of vitamin D analogs on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.
We analyzed the antiproliferative effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and four vitamin D analogs on MCF-7, a human breast cancer cell line known to express the vitamin D receptor. Growth curve studies and [3H]thymidine incorporation assays were used to assess the antiproliferative effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D), Ro 23-7553, Ro 24-5531, Ro 25-5317, and Ro 24-5583. Growth of MCF-7 cells was significantly inhibited by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and all four analogs at 10(-8) M (P < 0.05). MCF-7 cells treated with analog had significantly less [3H]thymidine incorporation than cells treated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (P < 0.05). The affinity of the analogs for the vitamin D receptor was similar to that of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. These results demonstrate that analogs of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 are potent antiproliferative agents on human breast cancer cells and that this activity is likely mediated through the vitamin D receptor.

1 alpha,25-Dihydroxy-16-ene-23-yne-26,27-hexafluorocholecalciferol (Ro24-5531), a new deltanoid (vitamin D analogue) for prevention of breast cancer in the rat.
We have used the vitamin D analogue, 1 alpha,25-dihydroxy-16-ene-23-yne-26,27-hexafluorocholecalcifero l (Ro24-5531), for inhibition of mammary carcinogenesis induced by N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU) in Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were first treated with a single dose of either 15 or 50 mg/kg body weight NMU and then fed Ro24-5531 (2.5 or 1.25 nmol/kg of diet) for 5-7 months. Ro24-5531 significantly extended tumor latency and lessened tumor incidence as well as tumor number in rats treated with the lower dose of NMU. In rats treated with the higher dose of NMU, Ro24-5531 was fed in combination with tamoxifen; in these experiments, Ro24-5531 significantly enhanced the ability of tamoxifen to reduce total tumor burden, as well as to increase the probability that an animal would be tumor free at the end of the experiment. In vitro, Ro24-5531 was 10-100 times more potent than 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 for inhibition of proliferation of human breast cancer cell lines as well as primary cultures of cells from 2 patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. When fed chronically, Ro24-5531 did not elevate serum calcium in the present studies. We propose the new term, "deltanoids," for the set of molecules composed of vitamin D and its synthetic analogues, in a manner similar to the naming of "retinoids" for the corresponding set of molecules related to vitamin A.
