1α, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and the vitamin D receptor regulates ΔNp63α levels and keratinocyte proliferation
11 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3), a secosteriod that has been explored as an anti-cancer agent, was also shown to promote cell survival. Its receptor, the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR), is a direct target of the proto-oncogene ΔNp63α, which is overexpressed in non-melanoma skin cancers. The interconnection between VDR/VD3 signaling and ΔNp63α, led us to examine whether VDR/VD3 signaling promotes keratinocyte...
