Although transactivation by the liganded vitamin D receptor (VDR) is well described at the molecular level, the precise molecular mechanism of negative regulation by the liganded VDR remains to be elucidated. We have previously reported a novel class of nVDRE (1
nVDRE) in the human 25(OH)D31
-hydroxylase [1
(OH)ase] gene by 1
,25(OH)2D3-bound VDR. This element was composed of two E-box-type motifs that bound to VDIR for transactivation, which was attenuated by liganded VDR. Here, we explore the possible functions of VDIR and E-box motifs in the human PTH (hPTH) and PTH-related peptide (hPTHrP) gene promoters. Functional mapping of the hPTH and hPTHrP promoters identified E-box-type elements acting as negative vitamin D response elements in both the hPTH promoter (hPTHnVDRE; -87bp to -60bp) and in the hPTHrP promoter (hPTHrPnVDRE; -850 to -600 bps; -463 to -104 bps) in a mouse renal tubule cell line. The hPTHnVDRE alone was enough to direct ligand-induced transrepression mediated through VDR/RXR and VDIR. Direct DNA binding of hPTHnVDRE to VDIR, but not VDR/RXR, was observed and ligand-induced transrepression was coupled with recruitment of VDR and histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) to the hPTH promoter. These results suggest that negative regulation of the hPTH gene by liganded VDR is mediated by VDIR directly binding to the E-box-type nVDRE at the promoter, together with recruitment of an HDAC co-repressor for ligand-induced transrepression.
