Based on the finding that retinoic acid (RA) increases 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] receptor number in ROS 17/2 cells, we investigated the effects of RA on the ability of 1,25-(OH)2D3 to regulate alkaline phosphatase activity and PTH-responsive adenylate cyclase in these cells. A maximally effective dose of 1,25-(OH)2D3 (10(- 8) M) caused a 75-80% increase in alkaline phosphatase activity and an approximately 70-75% attenuation of the cAMP response to PTH, while RA (10(-6) M) decreased alkaline phosphatase activity by 30-45% and decreased PTH-stimulated cAMP levels by approximately 20%. Preincubation with RA did not enhance the 1,25-(OH)2D3-induced increases in alkaline phosphatase activity. The ED50 values for control and RA-treated cultures were approximately 8 X 10(-10) M and 6 X 10(- 10) M, respectively. With regard to PTH responsiveness, the effects of RA preincubation on the 1,25-(OH)2D3 attenuation of cAMP response varied with the concentration of 1,25-(OH)2D3. At low doses (less than 10(-9) M), the effects of 1,25-(OH)2D3 and RA were additive. At higher doses of 1,25-(OH)2D3, the effects of RA and 1,25-(OH)2D3 were not additive, and there were no differences between control- and RA-treated cultures. The ED50 values for control- and RA-treated cultures were 10(- 10) M and 3 X 10(-11) M, respectively. None of the above effects were observed using equimolar doses of the vitamin D3 metabolites 24,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. The data show that pretreating ROS 17/2A cells with RA to increase 1,25-(OH)2D3 receptors does not correspond with a concomitant increase in the cellular responsiveness to 1,25-(OH)2D3, as measured by increases in alkaline phosphatase activity and decreases in PTH-responsive adenylate cyclase.
