Differential gene regulation by a synthetic vitamin D receptor ligand and active vitamin D in human cells

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin D (VD) exerts a wide variety of biological functions including calcemic activity. VD nutritional status is closely associated with the onset and development of chronic diseases. To develop a VD analog with the desired VD activity but without calcemic activity, we screened synthetic VDR antagonists. We identified 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26-23-lactams (DLAM)-2a-d (DLAM-2s) as nuclear vitamin D receptor...
