Abstract
We utilized the TT cell, a human C-cell line derived from a medullary thyroid carcinoma, to study the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on cell growth and expression of the calcitonin gene. The growth rate of cells treated for 8 days with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 did not differ significantly from control or 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 treated cells. Total RNA was isolated, and calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels were measured by hybridization. 1,25 D3 lowered calcitonin and CGRP mRNA levels in a time- and dose-dependent fashion; 24,25 D3 had no effect. Northern blots revealed a decrease in the mature mRNA as well as the common precursor forms, indicating a transcriptional effect of 1,25 D3.Entities:
