Immunomodulatory role of 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D3

Lemire, Jacques M.·1992·Journal of Cellular Biochemistry

Abstract

The active vitamin D metabolite 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D 3 [1,25‐D 3] is thought to promote many of its actions through interaction with a specific intracellular receptor. The discovery of such receptors in monocytes and activated lymphocytes has led investigators to evaluate the role of the hormone on the immune system. The sterol inhibits lymphocyte proliferation and immunoglobulin production in a dose‐dependent fashion. At a molecular level, 1,25‐D 3 inhibits the accumulation of mRNA for IL‐2, IFN‐γ, and GM‐CSF. At a cellular level, the hormone interferes with T helper cell (T h) function, reducing T h‐induction of immunoglobulin production by B cells and inhibiting the passive transfer of cellular immunity by T h‐clones in vivo. The sterol promotes suppressor cell activity and inhibits the generation of cytotoxic and NK cells. Class II antigen expression on lymphocytes and monocytes is also affected by the hormone. When given in vivo, 1,25‐D 3 has been particularly effective in the prevention of autoimmune diseases such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and murine lupus but its efficacy has been limited by its hypercalcemic effect. Synthetic vitamin D 3 analogues showing excellent 1,25‐D 3‐receptor binding but less pronounced hypercalcemic effects in vivo have recently enhanced the immunosuppressive properties of the hormone in autoimmunity and transplantation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
