1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 increases bone alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme levels in human osteogenic sarcoma cells.
The specific activity of alkaline phosphatase was increased in two human osteogenic sarcoma cell lines, SAOS and TE85, after treatment with 1,25 dihydroxy-vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). Enzyme activity increased when the cells were incubated with concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D3 between 10(-9) and 10(-7) M and cell growth was not inhibited at these concentrations. The specific activity of alkaline phosphatase was 4- to 7-fold higher than that in the control cells after 5 to 7 days of continuous exposure to 1,25(OH)2D3. Immunochemical studies demonstrated that the enzyme from both control and 1,25(OH)2D3-treated cultures cross-reacted with antisera specific for the phosphatase isoenzyme produced by normal human bone, and did not cross-react with antisera specific for the placental alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme. The increased enzyme activity in cultures induced with 1,25(OH)2D3 correlated with an absolute increase in the number of bone-specific phosphatase molecules, as determined by radioimmunoassay. No effect on alkaline phosphatase activity was observed when the cells were treated with other vitamin D metabolites or with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine. Comparative studies demonstrated that hydrocortisone, another steroid hormone, increased the phosphatase activity with a different time course than did 1,25(OH)2D3. High affinity cytoplasmic receptors for 1,25(OH)2D3 and hydrocortisone were found in the SAOS and TE85 cells.
