Abstract

Syngeneic SL mice inoculated with murine myeloid leukemia cells (M1) all died of leukemia within 30 days. Treatment three times a week with 12.5-50 pmol per mouse of either 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1 alpha,25(OH)2D3], the active form of vitamin D3, or its synthetic analog, 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 [1 alpha(OH)D3], considerably prolonged the survival time of mice inoculated with M1 cells. 1 alpha(OH)D3 was more effective than 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 in increasing the survival time of the mice. 1 alpha(OH)D3 also increased the survival time of nude mice inoculated with M1 cells. The 1 alpha(OH)[3H]D3 administered intraperitoneally to tumor-bearing mice was converted very rapidly to 1 alpha,25(OH)2-[3H]D3. The chronic administration of 25 pmol of 1 alpha(OH)D3 to tumor-bearing mice for 30 days caused no appreciable hypercalcemia. These results indicate clearly that 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 is effective not only in inducing differentiation of M1 cells in vitro, as previously reported [Abe, E., Miyaura, C., Sakagami, H., Takeda, M., Konno, K., Yamazaki, T., Yoshiki, S. & Suda, T. (1981) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78, 4990-4994], but also in prolonging the survival time of mice inoculated with M1 cells.
