Abstract

Effect of 1α-OH-vitamin D3(1α-OH-D3) and 1,25-(OH)2-vitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2-dihydroxycholecalciferol) (1,25-(OH)2-D3) on the levels of NADPH-dependent cytosolic 3,5,3′-triiodo-L-thyronine(T3)-binding protein (CTBP) was studied in rats and cultured dRLh cells. Deprivation of rats from vitamin D decreased the activity of cytosolic NADPH-dependent T3 binding in rat kidney and liver. The decrease was restored by administration of 1α-OH-D3(0.2 μg/kg). The activity of cytosolic NADPH-dependent T3 binding was increased in the dRLh cells by addition of 1,25-(OH)2-D3 to the culture medium. The maximal binding capacity(MBC) was increased by 1,25-(OH)2-D3 without changes in the affinity constant. These results suggested that active vitamin D3 plays an important role in the regulation of cellular T3 translocation through increasing the binding capacity of NADPH-dependent cytosolic T3-binding protein.
