    Abstract Calcium is required for the functioning of numerous biological processes and is essential for skeletal health. The major source of new calcium is from the diet. The central role of vitamin D in the maintenance of calcium homeostasis is to increase the absorption of ingested calcium from the intestine. The critical importance of vitamin D in this process is noted in the causal link between vitamin D deficiency and rickets, as well as in studies using genetically modified mice including mice deficient in the vitamin D receptor (

    Abstract 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3)-mediated intestinal calcium (Ca) absorption supplies Ca for proper bone mineralization during growth. We tested whether vitamin D receptor (VDR)-mediated 1,25(OH)2D3 signaling is critical for adult Ca absorption and bone by using mice with inducible Vdr gene knockout in the whole intestine (villin-CreERT2+/- × Vdrf/f, WIK) or in the large intestine (Cdx2-CreERT2+/- ×Vdrf/f, LIK). At 4-month-old, Vdr alleles were recombined (0.05 mg tamoxifen/g BW, intraperitoneally [i.p.], 5 days) and mice were fed diets with either 0.5% (adequate) or 0.2% (low) Ca. Ca absorption was examined after 2 weeks while serum 1,25(OH)2D3, bone mass, and bone microarchitecture were examined after 16 weeks. Intestinal and renal gene expression was measured at both time points (n = 12/genotype/diet/time point). On the 0.5% Ca diet, all phenotypes in WIK and LIK mice were similar to the controls. Control mice adapted to the 0.2% low-Ca diet by increasing renal Cyp27b1 mRNA (3-fold), serum 1,25(OH)2D3 level (1.9-fold), and Ca absorption in the duodenum (Dd, + 131%) and proximal colon (PCo, + 28.9%), which prevented bone loss. In WIK mice, low-Ca diet increased serum 1,25(OH)2D3 (4.4-fold) but Ca absorption remained unaltered in the Dd and PCo. Consequently, significant bone loss occurred in WIK mice (e.g., cortical thickness, Ct.Th, -33.7%). LIK mice adapted to the low-Ca diet in the Dd but not the PCo, and the effect on bone phenotypes was milder (e.g., Ct.Th, -13.1%). Our data suggest intestinal VDR in adult mice prevents bone loss under low Ca intake but is dispensable under adequate calcium intake.

    Abstract Calcium is required for many cellular processes including muscle contraction, nerve pulse transmission, stimulus secretion coupling and bone formation. The principal source of new calcium to meet these essential functions is from the diet. Intestinal absorption of calcium occurs by an active transcellular path and by a non-saturable paracellular path. The major factor influencing intestinal calcium absorption is vitamin D and more specifically the hormonally active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)). This article emphasizes studies that have provided new insight related to the mechanisms involved in the intestinal actions of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). The following are discussed: recent studies, including those using knock out mice, that suggest that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) mediated calcium absorption is more complex than the traditional transcellular model; evidence for 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) mediated active transport of calcium by distal as well as proximal segments of the intestine; 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) regulation of paracellular calcium transport and the role of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) in protection against mucosal injury.

    Abstract Vitamin D receptor (VDR) levels are highest in the intestine where it mediates 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D-induced gene expression. However, the mechanisms controlling high intestinal VDR gene expression are unknown. Here, we used Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using Sequencing (ATAC-Seq) to identify the regulatory sites controlling intestine-specific Vdr gene expression in the small intestine (villi and crypts) and colon of developing, adult, and aged mice. We identified 17 ATAC peaks in a 125 kb region from intron 3 to -55.8 kb from exon 1 of the Vdr gene. Interestingly, many of these peaks were missing/reduced in the developing intestine. Chromatin ImmunoPrecipitation-Sequencing (ChIP-Seq) peaks for intestinal transcription factors (TFs) were present within the ATAC peaks and at HiChIP looping attachments that connected the ATAC/TF ChIP peaks to the transcription start site and CCCTF-binding factor sites at the borders of the Vdr gene regulatory domain. Intestine-specific regulatory sites were identified by comparing ATAC peaks to DNAse-Seq data from other tissues that revealed tissue-specific, evolutionary conserved, and species-specific peaks. Bioinformatics analysis of human DNAse-Seq peaks revealed polymorphisms that disrupt TF-binding sites. Our analysis shows that mouse intestinal Vdr gene regulation requires a complex interaction of multiple distal regulatory regions and is controlled by a combination of intestinal TFs. These intestinal regulatory sites are well conserved in humans suggesting that they may be key components of VDR regulation in both mouse and human intestines.
