New vitamin D analogs as potential therapeutics in melanoma

Abstract: Extensive evidence shows that the active form of vitamin D3 – 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 – plays an important role in cancer prevention, has tumorostatic activity and may potentially be used in therapy for melanoma. Vitamin D3 and its analogs (secosteroids) exert multiple effects on cancer cells, including inhibition of cell growth and induction of differentiation. Activity of secosteroids depends on multiple cellular factors, including expression of the vitamin D receptor. Despite its endogenous origin, the ke… Show more

“…The endogenous VDR agonist 1,25-(OH) 2 D 3 has been used for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. 17 However, the therapeutic use of 1,25-(OH) 2 D 3 is often complicated by hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. To overcome this limitation, synthetic VDR agonists were designed that bind to VDR with very high affinity and have a decreased risk of hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia.…”

“…Targeting of the vitamin D receptor represents a promising strategy for treatment of melanoma (Pinczewski and Slominski, 2010;Bro_ zyna et al, 2011;Szyszka et al, 2012), a deadly disease for which therapy is still unsatisfactory (Hauschild et al, 2012). Therefore, we tested whether the 1a-hydroxylation of 20,25(OH) 2 D3 and 20,26(OH) 2 D3, both good substrates for CYP27B1, altered their ability to inhibit melanoma colony formation in soft agar.…”

“…slnečný vitamín, je dobre známy svojou rozpustnosťou v tukoch. Má pleiotropický efekt na metabolizmus vápnika, fosforu, reguluje bunkový cyklus a apoptózu, stimuluje diferenciáciu rakovinových buniek v tumorových tkanivách, stimuluje angiogenézu, imunomoduláciu, má chemopreventívny účinok a podieľa sa na antibakteriálnej aktivite [7]. V posledných rokoch sa zdôrazňuje jeho vplyv na imunitný systém.…”

“…Alela A rs4516035 (A > G výmena v EcoRV reštrikčnom mieste) je prezentovaná ako alela zvýšeného melanómového rizika. Na druhej strane, nebolo pozorované žiadne prepojenie medzi dĺžkou reštrikčného fragmentu polymorfi zmu rs7975232 (G > T zámena v ApaI reštrikčnom mieste), podobne ako rs11568820 (G > A výmena v Cdx2 väzbovom mieste) a rizikom vzniku MM [7].…”
