We show that subnanomolar/low-nanomolar calcitriol, while non-inhibitory on its own, inhibited CRPC cells upon co-treatment with androgen (5α-DHT) at a physiologic level, evident from G1/S cell cycle arrest, induction of p21/Cip1, blockade of clonal cell growth, retardation of proliferation, migration and invasion of cells in vitro, and xenograft growth suppression in vivo.
