Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is expressed by prostate cancer cells. Since PTHrP increases the growth and enhances the osteolytic effects of prostate cancer cells, it is important to control the level of PTHrP expression in these cells. We show that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (1,25(OH)(2)D-3) and its non-calcemic analogue, EB1089, suppress PTHrP mRNA and protein levels in the human prostate cancer cell lines PC-3 and LNCaP. The human PTHrP gene contains a sequence element homologous to the negative vitamin D response element within the parathyroid hormone gene. This DNA sequence (nVDRE(hPTHrP)) bound the vitamin D receptor (VDR) present in nuclear extracts from both PC-3 and LNCaP cells. However, when cloned upstream of the SV40 promoter and transiently transfected into PC-3 and LNCaP cells, nVDRE(hPTHrP) downregulated promoter activity in response to 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 or EB1089 treatment in LNCaP, but not in PC-3, cells. These results may help to explain why some prostate cancers appear to be refractory to treatment with vitamin D analogues. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
