1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] induces the synthesis of 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) 24-hydroxylase [24(OH)ase], an enzyme involved in its catabolism, thereby regulating its own metabolism. Here we demonstrate that CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPbeta) is induced by 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) in kidney and in osteoblastic cells and is a potent enhancer of vitamin D receptor (VDR)-mediated 24(OH)ase transcription. Transfection studies indicate that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) induction of 24(OH)ase transcription is enhanced a maximum of 10-fold by C/EBPbeta. Suppression of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-induced 24(OH)ase transcription was observed with dominant negative C/EBP or osteoblastic cells from C/EBPbeta(-/-) mice. A C/EBP site was identified at positions -395 to -388 (-395/-388) in the rat 24(OH)ase promoter. Mutation of this site inhibited C/EBPbeta binding and markedly attenuated the transcriptional response to C/EBPbeta. We also report the cooperation of CBP/p300 with C/EBPbeta in regulating VDR-mediated 24(OH)ase transcription. We found that not only 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) but also parathyroid hormone (PTH) can induce C/EBPbeta expression in osteoblastic cells. PTH potentiated the induction of C/EBPbeta and 24(OH)ase expression in response to 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) in osteoblastic cells. Data with the human VDR promoter (which contains two putative C/EBP sites) indicate a role for C/EBPbeta in the protein kinase A-mediated induction of VDR transcription. From this study a fundamental role has been established for the first time for cooperative effects and cross talk between the C/EBP family of transcription factors and VDR in 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-induced transcription. These findings also indicate a novel role for C/EBPbeta in the cross talk between PTH and 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) that involves the regulation of VDR transcription.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 October 2017.
All research outputs
#28,960,429
of 34,763,505 outputs
Outputs from Molecular & Cellular Biology
#13,637
of 14,100 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#346,985
of 451,387 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular & Cellular Biology
#10,032
of 10,456 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,763,505 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,100 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 451,387 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10,456 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
