Abstract
Mechanisms linking ingested pollutants to increased incidence of allergy are poorly understood. We report that mice exposed to low doses of cadmium develop higher IgE responses following oral allergen sensitization and more severe allergic symptoms upon allergen challenge. The environmentally relevant doses of this pollutant also induced oxidative/inflammatory responses in the gut of SPF, but not germ-free mice. Interestingly, the increased IgE responses correlated with stimulation of the vitamin D3-metabolizing enzymes CYP27B1 and CYP24A1 in the gut and increased luminal levels of oxidized vitamin D3 metabolites that are not ligands of the vitamin D receptor. Inhibition of CYP27B1 and CYP24A1 via oral administration of pharmacological inhibitors reduced IgE responses induced in mice orally exposed to cadmium. Our findings identify local alteration of vitamin D signaling as a new mechanism for induction of IgE responses by environmental pollutants. They also identify vitamin D3-metabolizing enzymes as therapeutic targets for the treatment of allergy.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the synthesis of calcioic acid following a recently developed synthetic strategy for calcitroic acid. Several improvements to reaction conditions were made, which resulted in higher yields. The improved workup and isolation procedures are described. Furthermore, we investigated the interaction between the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and calcioic acid. Calcioic acid was able to bind VDR with a binding constant of 71 µM. In cells, calcioic acid reduced the transcription of VDR target gene CYP24A1 in the presence 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) but did not induce the transcription of CYP24A1. Therefore, calcioic acid is a very weak VDR antagonist. With the generation of gram quantities, further studies are expected to reveal if calcioic acid is solely a water-soluble metabolite of vitamin D or if it mediates other biological functions through biomolecules other than VDR.

Abstract
The level of the vitamin D in the bloodstream is regulated by cytochrome P450 enzyme 24-hydroxylase A1 (CYP24A1). Over expression of CYP24A1 enzyme is correlated with vitamin D deficiency and resistance to vitamin D therapy. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are commonly reported with the above said expression variations. This deregulation could be solved by ligands that act as a vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonists and CYP24A1 antagonists. Posner et al., (2010) first time reported two new vitamin D analogues namely CTA-091 and CTA-018 to inhibit CYP24A1. The CTA-018 inhibited CYP24A1 with an IC50 27 ± 6 nM (10 times more potent than the ketoconazole (253 ± 20 nM)). CTA-018 induced VDR expression (15-fold lower than 1α,25(OH)2D3) and is under phase II clinical trial, whereas CTA-091 was not able to efficiently induce the VDR expression (>2000 nM). To explore the molecular mechanism, binding specificity of these two vitamin D analogues along with native ligand was extensively studied through in silico approaches. Through molecular dynamics simulations studies, we shown that the sulfonic group (O = S = O) in the side chain of CTA-018 plays an important role in the regulation of VDR agonistic activity. The electron lone pairs of the sulfonic group that interacted with His393 lead to be a factor for agonistic mechanism of VDR activity. Compared to azol-based compounds, CTA-018 binds the different sites in the CYP24A1 binding cavity and thus it could be a potent antagonistic for CYP24A1enzyme.

Abstract
Multiple epidemiological studies have shown that high vitamin D3 status is strongly associated with improved breast cancer survival. To determine the molecular pathways influenced by 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D) in breast epithelial cells we isolated RNA from normal human breast and cancer tissues treated with 1,25D in an ex vivo explant system. RNA-Seq revealed 523 genes that were differentially expressed in breast cancer tissues in response to 1,25D treatment, and 127 genes with altered expression in normal breast tissues. GoSeq KEGG pathway analysis revealed 1,25D down-regulated cellular metabolic pathways and enriched pathways involved with intercellular adhesion. The highly 1,25D up-regulated target genes CLMN, SERPINB1, EFTUD1, and KLK6were selected for further analysis and up-regulation by 1,25D was confirmed by qRT-PCR analysis in breast cancer cell lines and in a subset of human clinical samples from normal and cancer breast tissues. Ketoconazole potentiated 1,25D-mediated induction of CLMN, SERPINB1, and KLK6 mRNA through inhibition of 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1) activity. Elevated expression levels of CLMN, SERPINB1, and KLK6 are associated with prolonged relapse-free survival for breast cancer patients. The major finding of the present study is that exposure of both normal and malignant breast tissue to 1,25D results in changes in cellular adhesion, metabolic pathways and tumor suppressor-like pathways, which support epidemiological data suggesting that adequate vitamin D3 levels may improve breast cancer outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Previously we have shown in endometrial cells that progesterone (P4) and calcitriol (CAL, 1,25(OH)2D3) synergistically promote apoptosis and that progestins induce expression of the vitamin D receptor. In the current study we examined the progestin/vitamin D combination in ovarian cells and searched for other progestin-related effects on vitamin D metabolism that may underlie the novel interaction between progestins and vitamin D, including whether progestins inhibit CYP24A1, the enzyme that renders CAL inactive. METHODS We investigated the impact of P4 on CAL-induced CYP24A1 expression in cancer cell lines expressing progesterone receptors (PRs), [OVCAR-5, OVCAR-3-PGR (PR-transfected OVCAR-3 ovarian line), and T47D-WT, T47D-A and T47D-B (breast lines expressing PRs or individual PR isoforms)] or lines that do not express PRs (OVCAR-3 and T47D-Y). We examined CYP24A1 expression using RT-PCR and western blotting, and apoptosis by TUNEL. We also investigated P4 inhibition of Cyp24a1 in ovaries from CAL-treated mice. RESULTS CAL treatment induced CYP24A1 expression. When co-treated with P4, cell lines expressing PRs showed marked inhibition of CYP24A1 expression (p<0.001), along with increased apoptosis (p<0.01); cells not expressing PRs did not. Mouse ovaries showed a significant reduction in CAL-induced Cyp24a1 mRNA (p<0.001) and protein (p<0.01) in response to P4. CONCLUSIONS We show for the first time that progestins and vitamin D synergistically reduce cell viability and induce apoptosis in ovarian cells and that progestins PR-dependently inhibit CAL-induced CYP24A1, thus extending CAL activity. The combination of progestins and vitamin D deserves further consideration as a strategy for inhibiting ovarian carcinogenesis.

Abstract
CYP24A1 (hereafter referred to as CYP24) enzymatic activity is pivotal in the inactivation of vitamin D metabolites. Basal renal and extrarenal CYP24 is usually low but is highly induced by its substrate 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Unbalanced high and/or long-lasting CYP24 expression has been proposed to underlie diseases like chronic kidney disease, cancers, and psoriasis that otherwise should favorably respond to supplemental vitamin D. Using genetically modified mice, we have shown that renal phosphate wasting hypophosphatemic states arising from high levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) are also associated with increased renal Cyp24 expression, suggesting that elevated CYP24 activity is pivotal to the pathophysiology of these disorders. We therefore crossed 2 mouse strains, each with distinct etiology for high levels of circulating FGF23, onto a Cyp24-null background. Specifically, we evaluated Cyp24 deficiency in Hyp mice, the murine homolog of X-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets, and transgenic mice that overexpress a mutant FGF23 (FGF23R176Q) that is associated with the autosomal dominant form of hypophosphatemic rickets. Loss of Cyp24 in these murine models of human disease resulted in near-complete recovery of rachitic/osteomalacic bony abnormalities in the absence of any improvement in the serum biochemical profile. Moreover, treatment of Hyp and FGF23R1760-transgenic mice with the CYP24 inhibitor CTA102 also ameliorated their rachitic bones. Our results link CYP24 activity to the pathophysiology of FGF23-dependent renal phosphate wasting states and implicate pharmacologic CYP24 inhibition as a therapeutic adjunct for their treatment.
