Abstract excerpt
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) greatly enhances sodium butyrate (NaB)-induced enterocyte differentiation of HT-29 human colonic carcinoma cells while 1,25-(OH)2D3 alone induces growth restriction without associated differentiation. In the present study, the efficacies of various analogs of 1,25-(OH)2D3 to enhance NaB-induced HT-29 differentiation and to prolong the reversal of the differentiated...
