The prior administration of actinomycin D prevents the metabolism of [(3)H]25-hydroxycholecalciferol to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, a metabolite of vitamin D(3) that is effective in the stimulation of intestinal calcium transport. In this paper, the question of whether the response of intestinal calcium transport to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol is sensitive to actinomycin D was examined. While the response of intestinal transport to physiological amounts of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol is blocked by actinomycin D, the response of intestinal calcium transport to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol is insensitive to the antibiotic. These results suggest that 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, or a further metabolite thereof, is the metabolically active form of vitamin D in the intestine, that it functions by a process not involving transcription of DNA, and that the step sensitive to actinomycin D in the action of vitamin D on the intestine does not occur in the intestine, but is the conversion of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol in the kidney.
放线菌素D的预先给药可阻止[(3)H]25-羟基胆钙化醇代谢为1,25-二羟基胆钙化醇,后者是维生素D(3)的一种代谢产物,对刺激肠道钙转运有效。在本文中,研究了肠道钙转运对1,25-二羟基胆钙化醇的反应是否对放线菌素D敏感这一问题。虽然肠道转运对生理量的25-羟基胆钙化醇的反应被放线菌素D阻断,但肠道钙转运对1,25-二羟基胆钙化醇的反应对抗生素不敏感。这些结果表明,1,25-二羟基胆钙化醇或其进一步的代谢产物是维生素D在肠道中的代谢活性形式,其作用过程不涉及DNA转录,并且维生素D对肠道作用中对放线菌素D敏感的步骤不在肠道中发生,而是在肾脏中25-羟基胆钙化醇转化为1,25-二羟基胆钙化醇的过程。
