1α,25(OH)2D3-induced transrepression by vitamin D receptor through E-box-type elements in the human parathyroid hormone gene promoter
2007
Although transactivation by the liganded vitamin D receptor (VDR) is well described at the molecular level, the precise molecular mechanism of negative regulation by the liganded VDR remains to be elucidated. We have previously reported a novel class of negative vitamin D response element (nVDRE) called 1αnVDRE in the human 25(OH)D31α-hydroxylase [1α(OH)ase] gene by 1α,25(OH)2D3-bound VDR. This element was composed of two E-box-type motifs that bound to VDIR for transactivation, which was attenuated by liganded VDR. Here, we explore the possible functions of VDIR and E-box motifs in the human (h) PTH and hPTHrP gene promoters. Functional mapping of the hPTH and hPTHrP promoters identified E-box-type elements acting as nVDREs in both the hPTH promoter (hPTHnVDRE; −87 to −60 bp) and in the hPTHrP promoter (hPTHrPnVDRE; −850 to −600 bp; −463 to −104 bp) in a mouse renal tubule cell line. The hPTHnVDRE alone was enough to direct ligand-induced transrepression mediated through VDR/retinoid X receptor and VDIR....
