1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-3 [1,25(OH)(2)D-3] exerts anti-proliferative, differentiating and apoptotic effects on prostatic cells. These activities, in addition to epidemiologic findings that link Vitamin D to prostate cancer risk, support the use of 1,25(OH)2D3 for prevention or therapy of prostate cancer. The molecular mechanisms by which 1,25(OH)2D3 exerts antitumor effects on prostatic cells are not well-defined. In addition, there is heterogeneity among the responses of various prostate cell lines and primary cultures to 1,25(OH)2D3 with regard to growth inhibition, differentiation and apoptosis. To understand the basis of these differential responses and to develop a better model of Vitamin D action in the prostate, we performed cDNA microarray analyses of primary cultures of normal and malignant human prostatic epithelial cells, treated with 50 nM of 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 for 6 and 24 h. CYP24 (25-hydroxyvitamin D-3-24-hydroxylase) was the most highly upregulated gene. Significant and early upregulation of dual specificity phosphatase 10 (DUSP10), validated in five additional primary cultures, points to inhibition of members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) superfamily as a key event mediating activity of 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 in prostatic epithelial cells. The functions of other regulated genes suggest protection by 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 from oxidative stress. Overall, these results provide new insights into the molecular basis of antitumor activities of Vitamin D in prostate cells. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
