    Abstract:

    Recently, Epimerization of the hydroxyl group at C-3 has been identified as a unique metabolic pathway of vitamin D compounds. We measured C-3 Epimerization activity in subcellular fractions prepared from cultured cells and investigated the basic properties of the enzyme responsible for the Epimerization. C-3 Epimerization activity was detected using a NADPH-generating system containing glucose-6-phosphate, NADP, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and Mg(2+). The highest level of activity was observed in a microsomal fraction prepared from rat osteoblastic UMR-106 cells but activity was also observed in microsomal fractions prepared from MG-63, Caco-2, Hep G2, and HUH-7 cells. In terms of maximum velocity (V(max)) and the Michaelis constant (K(m)), 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) [25(OH)D(3)] exhibited the highest specificity for the Epimerization at C-3 among 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)], 25(OH)D(3), 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [24,25(OH)(2)D(3)], and 22-oxacalcitriol (OCT). The Epimerization activity was not inhibited by various cytochrome P450 inhibitors and antiserum against NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase. Neither CYP24, CYP27A1, CYP27B1 nor 3(alpha-->beta)hydroxysteroid epimerase (HSE) catalyzed the Epimerization in vitro. Based on these results, the enzyme(s) responsible for the Epimerization of vitamin D(3) at C-3 are thought to be located in microsomes and different from cytochrome P450 and HSE.

    Abstract:

    Abstract It is well documented that Vitamin D 3 metabolites and synthetic analogs are metabolized to their epimers of the hydroxyl group at C-3 of the A-ring. We investigated the C-3 Epimerization of Vitamin D 3 metabolites in various cultured cells and basic properties of the enzyme responsible for the C-3 Epimerization. 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D 3 [1α,25(OH) 2 D 3 ], 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 [25(OH)D 3 ] and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 [24,25(OH) 2 D 3 ] were metabolized to the respective C-3 epimers in UMR-106 (rat osteosarcoma), MG-63 (human osteosarcoma), Caco-2 (human colon adenocarcinoma), LLC-PK 1 (porcine kidney) and HepG2 (human hepatoblastoma)] cells, although the differences existed in the amount of each C-3 epimer formed with different cell types. In terms of maximum velocity ( V max ) and Michaelis constant ( K m ) values for the C-3 Epimerization in microsome fraction of UMR-106 cells, 25(OH)D 3 exhibited the highest specificity for the C-3 Epimerization among 1α,25(OH) 2 D 3 , 25(OH)D 3 and 24,25(OH) 2 D 3 . C-3 Epimerization activity was not inhibited by various cytochrome P450 inhibitors and antiserum against NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase. Neither CYP24, CYP27A1, CYP27B1 nor 3( α → β )−hydroxysteroid epimerase (HSE) catalyzed the C-3 Epimerization in vitro. Based on these results, the enzyme responsible for the C-3 Epimerization of Vitamin D 3 are thought to be different from already-known cytochrome P450-related Vitamin D metabolic enzymes and HSE.
