| Cell Lines | nude mice | |
| Concentrations | 300 ng/kg/d | |

| Method | proliferation assay | |
| Cell Lines | HuLM cells | |
| Concentrations | 10 nmol/L | |
| Incubation Time | 168 h | |
| Results | We found that after 24 hours of treatment, paricalcitol reduced HuLM cell proliferation up to 9%at a 10 nmol/L concentration (P < .05),whereas vitamin D3 reduced proliferation only by 1% at the same concentration, and the reduction was not significant |

| Cell lines | HuLM cells |
| Preparation method | Once these cells were approximately 70% confluent in culture medium, the media were replaced by Dulbecco Modified Eagle Medium: Nutrient Mixture F-12 (DMEM/F12; phenol free) supplemented with 10% charcoal-stripped FBS and 10 nmol/L estradiol and treated with various concentrations of paricalcitol and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the range of 10 pmol/L to 1000 nmol/L at different time intervals for up to 168 hours. The effects of paricalcitol and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on HuLM cell proliferation were assessed using a CyQuant cell proliferation assay kit |
