Abstract

The effect of prostaglandin E2 on accumulation in plasma of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxy[3H]vitamin D3 from 25-hydroxy[3H]vitamin D3 was studied in vivo using vitamin D-deficient thyroparathyroidectomized rats. Intra-arterial infusion of 10-50 micrograms of prostaglandin E2/h caused a significant stimulation of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxy[3H]vitamin D3 production. No significant changes in plasma Ca2+ and Pi concentrations or urinary cyclic AMP excretion were observed after prostaglandin E2 infusion. Theophylline did not enhance the effect of a submaximal dose of prostaglandin E2 on 1 alpha,25-dihydroxy[3H]vitamin D3 production. These data indicate that prostaglandin E2 stimulates plasma accumulation of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxy[3H]vitamin D3 independent of the adenylate cyclase/cyclic AMP system, and suggest that prostaglandin E2 has a modulatory role in the regulation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1 alpha-hydroxylase in the kidney.
