The biologically active form of vitamin D, 1α,25-dihydroxy vitamin D₃ (VD), regulates the synthesis of the bone Ca-binding proteins osteocalcin and osteopontin. The actions of VD are mediated through the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Liganded VDR heterodimerizes with the retinoid X receptor and interacts with a vitamin D response element (VDRE). Recently, it has been demonstrated that vitamin D responses elicited in osteoblasts can be rapid as well as long-term. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of Ca(2+) signaling of VD in osteoblasts using intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]i) measurements. A rapid VD (10 nM)-induced increase in [Ca(2+)]i was observed within 40 sec. This increase, however, was negated with application of Ca(2+)-free Krebs' solution. These results indicate that VD induces an increase in [Ca(2+)]i from extracellular Ca(2+) in osteoblasts.
