Dissociation of growth arrest and CYP24 induction by VDR ligands in mammary tumor cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Murine mammary tumor cells with differential vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression were used to study the mechanisms of growth inhibition by vitamin D steroids. In VDR-expressing WT145 cells, 1,25D and its synthetic analog EB1089 induce growth arrest and transcriptionally upregulate the well-characterized VDR target gene CYP24. 1,25D also induces apoptosis in WT145 cells through activation of initiator and executioner caspases and the calcium-dependent protease calpain. We also demonstrate that WT145 cells express CYP27B1, the enzyme that converts 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) (25D) to 1,25D, and that 25D inhibits growth of these cells but does not trigger apoptosis or induce CYP24 expression. Comparative studies were conducted in KO240 cells, which were derived from VDR knockout mice and found to retain expression of CYP27B1. KO240 cells were not growth inhibited nor rendered apoptotic by any of the tested vitamin D compounds. These data conclusively demonstrate that VDR mediates the anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of vitamin D metabolites and analogs, but that the potency of a vitamin D compound to induce the VDR target gene CYP24 does not accurately predict its potency in mediating growth regulation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
