The human breast cancer cell line (T47D) has specific, high affinity calcitonin receptors and calcitonin-responsive adenylate cyclase. Human, salmon and [Asu1,7]eel calcitonin inhibited cell growth in a dose-related manner with almost equipotency. Analogues of human calcitonin demonstrated slight cell growth inhibition. We found extreme growth inhibition with daily treatment with dibutyryl cyclic AMP (10(-4) M). In contrast to calcitonin 1,25-(OH)2D3 had a biphasic effect on cell growth. Physiological doses (5 X 10(-10) M) of 1,25-(OH)2D3 stimulated growth of T47D, whereas treatment by supraphysiological amounts (2.5 X 10(-7) M) caused significant inhibition of growth. Calcitonin and 1,25-(OH)2D3 appeared to have additive effects.
