- Previous studies have suggested that hepatic production of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 may be suppressed by 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. However, the molecular details of these observations have not been clarified. In the current study, the 5´-flanking DNA sequence of CYP2D25, a porcine microsomal vitamin D 25-hydroxylase, was isolated and analyzed. The CYP2D25 promoter contains a putative vitamin D response element (VDRE). The promoter activity was markedly suppressed by 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in presence of vitamin D receptor (VDR). The data suggest that VDR-mediated inhibition of 25-hydroxylase(s) by vitamin D3 metabolites at the transcriptional level may play an important role in the regulation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 production in liver and other tissues.
