RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has a poor prognosis due to its therapeutic resistance. Inactivation of vitamin D/vitamin D receptor (VDR) signaling may contribute to the malignant phenotype of PDA and altered expression of oncoprotein mucin 1 (MUC1) may be involved in drug resistance of cancer cells. AIM: To determine whether vitamin D/VDR signaling regulates the expression and function of MUC1 and its effect on acquired gemcitabine resistance of pancreatic cancer cells. METHODS: Molecular analyses and animal models were used to determine the impact of vitamin D/VDR signaling on MUC1 expression and response to gemcitabine treatment. RESULTS: RPPA analysis indicated that MUC1 protein expression was significantly reduced in human PDA cells after treatment with vitamin D3 or its analog calcipotriol. VDR regulated MUC1 expression in both gain- and loss-of-function assays. Vitamin D3 or calcipotriol significantly induced VDR and inhibited MUC1 expression in acquired gemcitabine-resistant PDA cells and sensitized the resistant cells to gemcitabine treatment, while siRNA inhibition of MUC1 was associated with paricalcitol-associated sensitization of PDA cells to gemcitabine treatment in vitro. Administration of paricalcitol significantly enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of gemcitabine in xenograft and orthotopic mouse models and increased the intratumoral concentration of dFdCTP, the active metabolite of gemcitabine. CONCLUSION: These findings demonstrate a previously unidentified vitamin D/VDR-MUC1 signaling axis involved in the regulation of gemcitabine resistance in PDA and suggests that combinational therapies that include targeted activation of vitamin D/VDR signaling may improve the outcomes of patients with PDA.
