摘要
The transcription factor VDR is the nuclear receptor for 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (VD) and the mediator of all genomic actions of the nuclear hormone and its synthetic analogs. The sharp biological profile of the model VD analog 1(S),3(R)-dihydroxy-20(R)-(5'-ethyl-5'-hydroxy-hepta-1 '(E),3'(E)-dien-1'-yl)-9,10-secopregna-5(Z),7(E),10(19)-triene (EB1089) (i.e., its high antiproliferative effect combined with low calcemic actions) has been correlated with the selectivity of EB1089 to activate heterodimeric complexes of VDR with its partner retinoid X receptor (RXR) on VD response elements (VDREs). These VDREs are formed by an inverted palindromic arrangement of two hexameric core binding motifs spaced by nine nucleotides (IP9) rather than VDREs that are formed by direct repeats with three intervening nucleotides (DR3). In this report, ligand-dependent gel-shift assays were used for a comparison of the ability of VD and EB1089 to stabilize VDR-RXR heterodimers on these two VDRE types. The gel-shift assays revealed EB1089 to be more sensitive for complexes on IP9-type VDREs than on DR3-type VDREs. In addition, a gel-shift clipping method was established to identify and compare complexes of ligand-stabilized VDR-RXR heterodimers on different VDREs. On each VDRE, two complexes could be discriminated that seemed to contain different functional conformations of the VDR and allowed a more differential view on DNA-complexed VDR-RXR heterodimers. The VDR-RXR conformation (which was more ligand-sensitive) gained through EB1089 a higher affinity (7-fold) for DNA binding and a more sensitive (9-fold) activation of an IP9-type VDRE than of a DR3-type VDRE, whereas with the natural hormone VD, no VDRE-type preference could be observed. This indicates that promoter selectivity of VDR ligands is based on their property to selectively increase affinity for VDREs and very sensitively stabilize VDR conformations in VDR-RXR-VDRE complexes.
