The biologically active form of vitamin D 3 , the nuclear hormone 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (VD), is an important regulator of cellular growth, differentiation, and death. The hormone mediates its action through the activation of the transcription factor VDR, which is a member of the superfamily of

β¦ Synopsis
Publication of the International Union Agalnst Cancer Publication de I'lJnion Internationale Contre le Cancer Androgendependent tumors eventual to independent tumors after androgen withdrawal. ! x r e treatment for hormone-independent turnon is therefore needed. Androgemindependent CS-2 celh could grow in serum-free culture whether androgen is present in the medium or not. In the present study, the mechanism of cell death in CS-2 celh was examined after I, ZSdihydrovitunin DJ [I, 25(0HhD~] treatment. I, ZS(OmD3 has been examined as an anti-tumor agent, but its role in promoting cell death is poatly understood. Baaed upon the temporrl sequenced DNAfrrgmentation, motphologicchanges and loss of cell viability, the celk undwent apoptosh with I, 25(OHhD, treatment. No*them-blot anllr/rs was used to identify a d e s of genes whose expression per cell is enhanced during the apoptodc pathway. In the apoptotic process induced by I, ZS(OH)2DJ, mRNA expredon of testmterone-repressed pmstatic message 2, transforming growth factor p I, glucoseregulated 7&kDa protein and ulmodulin increased. Flowcytanetric anaJysis showed that I, ZS(O&DJ treatment resulted in a block in G/GI of the cell cycle. these^ results
demonstrate that androgen-independent CS-2 cells retain the ability to undergo rpoptoris by I, ZS(O&DJ. This system appears to be a good model for investigating apoptods of homone-independent cancer.
