Abstract

The increasing number of people with type 2 diabetes (DM2) is alarming and if it is taken into account that the relative odds of developing tuberculosis in diabetic patients ranges from 2.44 to 8.33 compared with non-diabetic patients, thus in developing countries where these two diseases are encountering face to face, there is a need for prophylaxis strategies. The role of vitamin D has been widely implicated in growth control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) during primary infection mainly through the induction of certain antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). In this study we evaluated the vitamin D serum levels, CYP27B1-hydroxylase enzyme, vitamin D receptor (VDR) and AMPs gene expression in Healthy donors, DM2 and TB patients. Results showed that DM2 group has lower VDR and AMPs expression levels. When Monocytes Derived Macrophages (MDM) from DM2 patients with low VDR expression were supplemented with vitamin D, MDMs eliminate efficiently M. tuberculosis. This preliminary study suggests the use of vitamin D as prophylaxis for tuberculosis in high DM2 endemic countries.

  • Macrophages from diabetic patients with low vitamin D2 levels have impaired control of M. tuberculosis infection ex vivo, which can be significantly augmented upon vitamin D supplementation.

    “Accordingly, macrophages from diabetic patients with low vitamin D2 levels were shown to have an impaired control of M. tuberculosis infection ex vivo, which can be significantly augmented upon vitamin D supplementation (86).”

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.
