1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)] acts on chondrocytes and osteoblasts through traditional nuclear Vitamin D receptor (VDR) mechanisms as well as through rapid actions on plasma membranes that initiate intracellular signaling pathways. We have investigated the mechanisms involved in activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and downstream biological responses that depend on the latter pathway. These studies show that PKC activation depends on presence of a membrane receptor ERp60 and rapid increases in phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) activity. Cells that are responsive to 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) express PLA(2) activating protein (PLAA), suggesting a link between ERp60 and PLA(2). Increased PLA(2) results in increased arachidonic acid release and formation of lysophospholipid, which then activates phospholipase C beta (PLCbeta), leading to rapid formation of inositol-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). PLA(2), PLC, and DAG are all associated with lipid rafts including caveolae in many cells, suggesting that the caveolar environment may be an important mediator of PKC activation by 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). Here, we use the VDR(-/-) mouse costochondral cartilage growth plate to examine the expression of ERp60 and PLAA in vivo in 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)-responsive hypertrophic chondrocytes (growth zone cells) and in resting zone cells that do not respond to this Vitamin D metabolite in vitro. In addition, we determined if intact lipid rafts are required for the response of rat costochondral cartilage growth zone cells to 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3). The results show that ERp60 and PLAA are localized to 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)-responsive growth zone cells and metaphyseal osteoblasts, even in VDR(-/-) mice. Disruption of lipid rafts using beta-cyclodextrin blocks the activation of PKC by 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and reduces the ability of 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) to regulate [(35)S]-sulfate incorporation.

Growth plate chondrocytes produce proteoglycan-rich type II collagen extracellular matrix (ECM). During cell maturation and hypertrophy, ECM is reorganized via a process regulated by 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and involving matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), including MMP-3 and MMP-2. 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) regulates MMP incorporation into matrix vesicles (MVs), where they are stored until released. Like plasma membranes (PM), MVs contain the 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)-binding protein ERp60, phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), and caveolin-1, but appear to lack nuclear Vitamin D receptors (VDRs). Chondrocytes produce 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) (10(-8)M), which binds ERp60, activating PLA(2), and resulting lysophospholipids lead to MV membrane disorganization, releasing active MMPs. MV MMP-3 activates TGF-beta1 stored in the ECM as large latent TGF-beta1 complexes, consisting of latent TGF-beta1 binding protein, latency associated peptide, and latent TGF-beta1. Others have shown that MMP-2 specifically activates TGF-beta2. TGF-beta1 regulates 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)-production, providing a mechanism for local control of growth factor activation. 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) activates PKCalpha in the PM via ERp60-signaling through PLA(2), lysophospholipid production, and PLCbeta. It also regulates distribution of phospholipids and PKC isoforms between MVs and PMs, enriching the MVs in PKCzeta. Direct activation of MMP-3 in MVs requires ERp60. However, when MVs are treated with 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3), PKCzeta activity is decreased and PKCalpha is unaffected, suggesting a more complex feedback mechanism, potentially involving MV lipid signaling.

As growth plate chondrocytes mature and hypertrophy, they reorganize their proteoglycan-rich type II collagen extracellular matrix (ECM), involving 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-dependent regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Stromelysin-1 (MMP-3) and 72-kD gelatinase (MMP-2) are found in extracellular matrix vesicles (MVs) and release and activate ECM-bound latent TGF-beta1 and TGF-beta2, respectively. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) regulates incorporation of MMP-2 and MMP-3 into MVs and release of these enzymes in the ECM. Plasma membranes (PMs) and MVs contain the 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) membrane receptor ERp60 (protein disulfide isomerase A3), phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), PLA(2)-activating protein, the nuclear vitamin D receptor and caveolin-1. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) secreted by chondrocytes binds MV ERp60, activating PLA(2). Resulting lysophospholipids destabilize MV membranes, releasing active MMPs. We examined 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-dependent activation of latent TGF-beta1 stored in cartilage ECM. Interestingly, TGF-beta1 regulates 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) production. 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) activates PM protein kinase C (PKC)-alpha via ERp60-dependent PLA(2)-signaling, lysophospholipid production and phospholipase C-gamma. It also regulates distribution of phospholipids and PKC isoforms between MVs and PMs, enriching MVs in PKC-zeta. Direct activation of MV MMP-3 requires ERp60 based on blocking antibodies and PKC based on inhibitor studies. However, treatment of MVs with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) decreases MV PKC-zeta activity, suggesting more complex feedback mechanisms, potentially involving MV lipid signaling. Our observations indicate that one role of MVs is to provide MMPs at sites distant from the cells. Chondrocytes secrete 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), which acts directly on MV-membranes via ERp60, releasing MMPs. MMP-specific ECM components are hydrolyzed, resulting in release and activation of growth factors that can act back on the cells.
