## Abstract The differentiating and antitumor activities of 1α,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D~3~ (1α,25(OH)~2~D~3~) in vitro and 1α‐hydroxyvitamin D~3~ (1α(OH)D~3~) in vivo were studied with a human osteosarcoma cell line (OST strain). Antitumor activity was estimated with the use of 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol)

✦ Synopsis
The ability of the hormonally active vitamin D metabolite, Ia,25-dihydroxyvitamin Dj, to affect cell growth, morphology and fibronectin production has been examined using the MG-63 human osteosarcoma cell line. Hormone treatment reduced cell growth rate, saturation density and ['Hlthymidine incorporation. Inhibition was specific for la,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 relative to other vitamin D metabolites (la,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 > 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 > 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3> D3), antagonized by high concentra-

We evaluate whether 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 downregulates TP73 variants in colon and breast carcinomas, the role of survivin in this context, and the significance of this network in the clinic. Tumor cells were treated/untreated with 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 and transiently transfected with survivin. Levels of survivi
## Abstract In this article we show that 1α,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D~3~ (1α,25(OH)~2~D~3~) stimulates the activity of the class IA phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase PI3Kα and its downstream target Akt in HL60, U937 and THP‐1 myeloid leukaemic cell lines. Furthermore, we show that the classical nuclear vit
Retinoids and vitamin D analogues are known to inhibit the proliferation of a variety of cells in culture and prevent the formation of certain tumors in mammals. Although it is well established that these hormones control the transcription of many genes upon binding to and activating specific nuclea
## Abstract In a recent study, we investigated the metabolism of 1α,25‐dihydroxy‐20‐epi‐vitamin D~3~ (1α,25(OH)~2~‐20‐epi‐D~3~), a potent synthetic vitamin D~3~ analog in the isolated perfused rat kidney and proposed that the enhanced biological activity of 1α,25(OH)~2~‐20‐epi‐D~3~ is in part due t
