Article Title: 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) transcriptionally regulates tumour necrosis factor mRNA during HL-60 cell differentiation
Abstract: We investigated TNF-α gene expression in HL-60 cells under the influence of 1,25(OH)2D3. Our results show that TNF-α gene expression is transcriptionally activated by 1,25(OH)2D3. Despite the increase of TNF-α mRNA, very little TNF protein is found in either supernatants or cell lysates of HL-60 cells cultured in the presence of the vitamin. Therefore 1,25(OH)2D3 is regulating the transcription of the TNF-α gene in HL-60 cells without affecting translation. Our data suggest that an additional signal is necessary under physiological conditions to control post-transcriptionally TNF-α protein synthesis and secretion.
