Whereas detrimental effects of vitamin D deficiency are known over century, the effects of vitamin D receptor activation by 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 , the principal hormonal form of vitamin D, on the growing bone and its growth plate are less clear. Currently, 1,25(OH) 2 D 3  is used in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease and mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) and is strongly associated with growth retardation. Here, we investigate the effect of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3  treatment on bone development in normal young rats, unrelated to renal insufficiency. Young rats received daily i.p. injections of 1 µg/kg 1,25(OH) 2 D 3  for one week, or intermittent 3 µg/kg 1,25(OH) 2 D 3  for one month. Histological analysis revealed narrower tibial growth plates, predominantly in the hypertrophic zone of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 -treated animals in both experimental protocols. This phenotype was supported by narrower distribution of aggrecan, collagens II and X mRNA, shown by  in situ  hybridization. Concomitant with altered chondrocyte maturation, 1,25(OH) 2 D 3  increased chondrocyte proliferation and apoptosis in terminal hypertrophic cells.  In vitro  treatment of the chondrocytic cell line ATDC5 with 1,25(OH) 2 D 3  lowered differentiation and increased proliferation dose and time-dependently. Micro-CT analysis of femurs from 1-week 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 -treated group revealed reduced cortical thickness, elevated cortical porosity, and higher trabecular number and thickness. 1-month administration resulted in a similar cortical phenotype but without effect on trabecular bone. Evaluation of fluorochrome binding with confocal microscopy revealed inhibiting effects of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3  on intracortical bone formation. This study shows negative effects of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3  on growth plate and bone which may contribute to the exacerbation of MBD in the CKD pediatric patients.
