Abstract

Scope: UV exposure is a risk factor for keratinocyte carcinoma (KC) while critical for endogenous vitamin D production. We investigated dietary modulation of skin and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD ) and its C-3 epimer (C3epi) in a mouse model of KC. C3epi is an under-investigated metabolite of vitamin D with respect to its biological implications.

Methods And Results: Male and female Skh-1 mice were supplemented with 25, 150 or 1000 IU/kg diet vitamin D for 25 weeks, with some exposed to UV light. Skin and serum vitamin D metabolites were quantitated using HPLC-MS/MS (n = 3 per dose/sex/UV treatment). Serum and skin 25OHD and C3epi significantly increased with dose (P<0.0001), but with different response patterns. UV exposure significantly attenuated serum, but not skin, levels of both metabolites (P<0.001, P = 0.0287), while up-regulating expression of renal Cyp24a1 (P < 0.01). A dose by sex interaction trended toward significance with serum and skin levels of C3epi, wherein male mice attained higher levels of C3epi with higher dietary vitamin D . This reflected a similar, but non-significant pattern in average tumor size.

Conclusion: The complex relationship between vitamin D and KC requires further investigation. This study provides insight into modulation of local and systemic vitamin D status with dietary supplementation.
