title: Binding of vitamin D to low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) and LDL receptor-mediated pathway into cells.
abstract: The present study was undertaken to identify serum components other than vitamin D-binding proteins that bind to 1,25(OH)2 D3, and its analog. The binding rate of 1,25(OH)2 D3, 22-oxa-1,25(OH)2D3 (OCT) or 25(OH) D3 to total lipoprotein(TLP) represented 16.7%, 4.65%, and 3.11% of total counts added, respectively. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the TLP revealed that 1,25(OH)2 D3 and OCT were associated with LDL. The binding studies of OCT-bound LDL to the fibroblasts showed specific pathway to the cells mediated by LDL-receptor. These findings may have important implications in understanding the mechanisms of the diverse biological actions of 1,25(OH)2 D3 and in designing a novel delivery system for vitamin D analogs.
