The effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) on the growth and DNA synthesis of cultured human keratinocytes obtained from involved and uninvolved psoriatic epidermis and normal epidermis were studied. Treatment with 10-8m and 10-7m of 1,25(OH)2D3 inhibited cell growth as follows: 58.5±19.3% and 21.3±13.6% in normal keratinocytes (n=6); 43.8±22.8% and 17.8±12.3% in psoriatic uninvolved keratinocytes (n=4); 51.7±18.2% and 13.2±6.4% in psoriatic involved keratinocytes (n=6). Inhibition was virtually complete at 10-6m. DNA synthesis was also inhibited by 10-8m, 10-7m and 10-6m of 1,25(OH)2D3 as follows: 70.0±8.3%, 59.0±6.8% and 16.7±4.0%, respectively, in normal keratinocytes (n=3); 78.5±13.5%, 51.5±25.5% and 24.5±21.5%, respectively, in psoriatic uninvolved keratinocytes (n=2); and 69.3±14.5%, 41.3±19.1% and 14.8±11.2%, respectively, in psoriatic involved keratinocytes (n=4). These results indicate that 1,25(OH)2D3 functions as a growth inhibitor for cultured human keratinocytes derived from both normal and psoriatic skin.
