| Research Abstract |
We studied the molecular mechanism of vitamin A and vitamin D actions in terms of function of their nuclear receptors in intact animals. We generated the VDR KO mice, and they developed only after weaning. Furtherrmore, those mice were crossed with RXRgamma Ko mice to establish double Ko mice for VDR and RXRgamma, and the mice exhibited more over phenotypes, indicating a cross-talk between vitamin A and vitamin D.By means of newly established expression cloning system with the expression cDNA libraly from VDR Ko mice, we cloned for the first time the cDNA of mouse 1alpha-hydroxylase, which is the key enzyme in Vitemin D biosynthesis. Moreover, we demonstrated that genetic nutaion in this gene causes Vitamin D resisttant type I rickets in human.
