title: Calcium-transport in quiescent and 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol-stimulated human osteosarcoma cells. Role in 24 hydroxylase enhancement.
abstract: The present study evaluates in osteosarcoma cells, the effects of a calcium channel inhibitor nicardipine in 24-hydroxylase activity and 45Ca desaturation curve in presence of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25(OH)2D3). This sterol induced an increase in 24-OHase activity and 45Ca fluxes. Nicardipine reversed the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on 45Ca fluxes but reinforced the enhancement of the 24-OHase activity. The fact that the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 were reduced by cycloheximide support the hypothesis of a de novo protein synthesis. Our study has allowed us to dissociate the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on 24-OHase enhancement from those on Ca2+ transport.
