    Abstract The correlation between decreased morbidity and mortality of cancer and exposure to sunlight is known. The many biological functions of vitamin D that contribute to cancer prevention have only recently begun to be appreciated. Once activated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D3] functions as a potent inhibitor of normal and cancer cellular proliferation. Vitamin D deficiency in mice led to a 60% increase in colon tumor growth, compared to vitamin D-sufficient mice. The ligand binding domain of the Vitamin D receptor was shown to accommodate a class of 1,25(OH)2D3-analogs that possess an additional side-arm. These novel Gemini analogs were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Select Gemini analogs were 100 times or more effective in inhibiting colon tumor growth in mice, compared to their parent compound. Correcting vitamin D deficiency may decrease the risk of developing colon cancer, while the novel Gemini 1,25(OH)2D3-analogs have the potential for therapeutic application in human colon cancer.

    Abstract The active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)], is an endocrine hormone whose classic role is the maintenance of calcium homeostasis. It is well documented that 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) also has anti-tumor effects on a number of cancers and cancer cell lines including breast, colorectal, gastric, liver, ovarian, prostate, and non-melanoma skin cancers. Included in the anti-tumor activities of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) are its ability to cause antiproliferation, prodifferentation and decrease angiogenesis. Furthermore, through regulation of the plaminogen activator (PA) system and a class of proteolytic enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) reduces the invasive spread of tumor cells. Because of the calcemic limitations of using 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) as a therapy, we have tested the effects of a novel Gemini vitamin D analogue, Deuterated Gemini (DG), on mouse colorectal cancer. We demonstrated that DG is more potent in reducing tumor volume and mass, compared to control and 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). DG significantly prevented (100% reduction, p<0.05) the invasive spread of colorectal tumor cells into the surrounding muscle, and had no effect on serum calcium levels. Thus, DG acts as a selective vitamin D receptor modulator (SVDRM) by enhancing select anti-tumor characteristic 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) activities, without inducing hypercalcemia. Thus, DG shows promise in the development of colorectal cancer therapies.
