PTH (PTH) or activators of protein kinase A (PKA) up-regulate the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and augment the induction by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) of the expression of target genes [24-hydroxylase (24OHase) and osteopontin (OPN)] in osteoblastic cells. To understand regulatory mechanisms involved, we asked whether the inducible cAMP early repressor (ICER), which serves as a dominant negative regulator of cAMP induced transcription in other endocrine systems, may similarly play a role in modulation of vitamin D hormone action. In this study we demonstrate that PTH or 8-bromo cAMP rapidly induces ICER mRNA and protein in osteoblastic cells. In UMR 106 osteoblastic cells transfected with an expression vector containing the ICER II-{gamma} coding sequence, cAMP or PTH enhancement of 1,25-(OH)2D3-induced OPN and 24OHase mRNA and transcription is inhibited. The vitamin D response element (VDRE) is sufficient for the PKA-enhancement of VDR-mediated transcription and is also sufficient to observe the inhibitory effect of ICER. Our data indicate that the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of ICER involves an inhibition of PKA-induced VDR transcription and this inhibition may be mediated in part by binding of ICER to a CRE-like sequence in the VDR promoter. This study provides evidence for the first time that ICER has a key regulatory role in the PKA enhancement of VDR transcription and therefore in the cross-talk between the PKA signaling pathway and the vitamin D endocrine system.
