title: In vitro cellular muscle calcium metabolism. Characterization of effects of 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3.
abstract: Cultures of vitamin D-deficient chick soleus muscle and 12 day-old chick embryo myoblasts were used to characterize the effects of 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3 on muscle cell Ca metabolism. Physiological amounts of both sterols increased the rate and extent of 45Ca uptake by cultures. However, 1,25(OH)2D3 was significantly more effective than 25 OHD3. The greater potency of 1,25(OH)2D3 to increase Ca uptake could be shown after various treatment intervals of cultures and using a wide concentration range of both derivatives. Information about Ca pools affected by vitamin D3 metabolites was obtained through kinetic analysis of Ca efflux in cultured myoblasts. Cytoplasmic and mitochondria Ca pools were identified on the basis of their half-times of desaturation and by selective inhibition of plasma membrane and mitochondrial Ca transport with LaCl3 and Ruthenium Red, respectively. The data suggests that 1,25(OH)2D3 acts on muscle cellular Ca by increasing Ca efflux and influx through mitochondrial and plasma membranes whereas the predominant effect of 25 OHD3 is to increase Ca influx into mitochondria.
