Abstract
Specific, high-affinity cytosolic receptors for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were demonstrated in 5 human cancer cell lines [HS0578T breast cancer cells, A549 lung carcinoma cells, HUK-HeLa cervical carcinoma cells and melanomas G-361 and HS695T cells]. Binding affinity (Kd) of the receptors for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were all .apprx. 0.2 nM, and receptor content ranged from 21-174 fmol/mg cytosol protein. The receptors from all 5 cell lines sedimented at 3.2S on sucrose density gradients and exhibited preferential affinity for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 compared to other vitamin D metabolites.
