The current study aimed to elucidate the effect of long-term inhibition of Npc1l1 by ezetimibe on uptake and storage of orally administered triple deuterated vitamin D3. Therefore, 30 male wild-type mice were randomly assigned into three groups and received diets with 25μg/kg of vitamin D3-d3 that contained 0, 50 or 100 mg/kg ezetimibe for six weeks. Mice fed diets with 50 or 100 mg/kg ezetimibe had lower circulating levels of cholesterol than control mice. In contrast, the concentrations of 7-dehydrocholesterol in serum and liver were higher in mice treated with ezetimibe than in control mice, indicating an increased sterol synthesis to compensate for cholesterol reduction In comparison to the control group, mice treated with ezetimibe had lower concentrations of deuterated vitamin D3 compared with the control group in serum, liver, kidney, adipose tissues and muscle. The protein expression of the vitamin D hydroxylases Cyp2r1, Cyp27a1, Cyp3a11, Cyp24a1 and Cyp2j3 in liver and Cyp27b1 and Cyp24a1 in kidney remained largely unaffected by ezetimibe. To conclude, Npc1l1 appears to be crucial for the uptake of orally ingested vitamin D because long-term inhibition of Npc1l1 by ezetimibe strongly reduced the levels of deuterium-labeled vitamin D in the body; the observed rise in deuterated 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in serum of these mice can not be explained by the expression levels of the key enzymes involved in vitamin D hydroxylation.
