1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3
(1,25(OH)2D3) is a potential chemopreventive
agent for human colon cancer. We have reported that 1,25(OH)2D3 specifically activated protein
kinase C- (PKC- ) and also caused a reduction in proliferation
while increasing apoptosis and differentiation in CaCo-2 cells, a cell
line derived from a human colon cancer. The mechanisms by which this
secosteroid influences these important cellular processes, however,
remain unclear. The transcription factor, activator protein-1 (AP-1), regulates many genes involved in these processes. Therefore, we asked
whether 1,25(OH)2D3 activated AP-1 in CaCo-2
cells and, if so, by what mechanisms?
1,25(OH)2D3 caused a time-dependent increase in AP-1 DNA binding activity and significantly enhanced the
protein and mRNA abundance of c-Jun, a component of AP-1. 1,25(OH)2D3 also induced a rapid and transient
activation of ERK2 (where ERK is extracellular signal-regulated kinase)
and a more persistent activation of JNK1 (where JNK Jun N-terminal
kinase). Transfection experiments revealed that
1,25(OH)2D3 also increased AP-1
gene-transactivating activity. This AP-1 activation was completely blocked by PD 098059, a specific mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase inhibitor, as well as by a dominant negative JNK or a dominant negative Jun, indicating that the AP-1 activation induced by
1,25(OH)2D3 was mediated by ERK and JNK. Using
a specific inhibitor of the Ca2+-dependent PKC
isoforms, Gö6976, and CaCo-2 cells stably transfected with
antisense PKC- cDNA, demonstrated that PKC- mediated the AP-1
activation induced by this secosteroid. Inhibition of JNK activation or
c-Jun protein expression significantly reduced
1,25(OH)2D3-induced alkaline phosphatase
activity, a marker of CaCo-2 cell differentiation, in
secosteroid-treated cells. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that 1,25(OH)2D3 stimulated AP-1
activation in CaCo-2 cells by a PKC- - and JNK-dependent
mechanism leading to increases in cellular differentiation.
