1\alpha,25(OH)_{2} vitamin D_{3} (1,25(OH)_{2}D_{3}) is a potent hormone, stimulating bone cell growth and differentiation. In order to detect novel targets for 1,25(OH)_{2}D_{3} action, we applied differential display PCR (ddPCR) to human fetal osteoblasts (FOB cells). By ddPCR analysis, we identified the selenoprotein thioredoxin reductase (TRR) as a 1,25(OH)_{2}D_{3}-responsive gene. In FOB cells, the response of TRR mRNA steady state levels to 1,25(OH)_{2}D_{3} was fast and transient. Maximal stimulation was observed after one hour of 1,25(OH)_{2}D_{3} treatment, thereafter TRR steady state mRNA levels declined to control levels. This transient response of TRR mRNA was not reflected at the TRR enzyme activity level upon treatment with 1,25(OH)_{2}D_{3} for up to 48 h. Sodium selenite added to differentiated FOB cells increased TRR enzyme activity 2.6-fold, whereas no selenite effect on TRR mRNA steady state levels was measurable. Our data might provide a link between the induction of a differentiation program by 1,25(OH)_{2}D_{3} and the expression of the selenium responsive TRR system in human osteoblasts.
