1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 prevents the in vivo induction of murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
Open accessAbstract
The hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-[OH]2-D3), inhibits lymphocyte activation in vitro. We studied the ability of the vitamin D metabolite to interfere in vivo with a primary T cell-mediated model of autoimmunity, murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Within 2 wk of antigenic challenge, immunized animals will develop acute paralysis with central nervous tissue inflammation. If mice survive, a rise in antibody titer develops within a month. The administration of 0.1 microgram 1,25-(OH)2-D3 i.p. given every other day for 15 d, starting 3 d before immunization, significantly prevented the development of EAE. The rise in antibody titer to myelin basic protein was also abrogated. Histopathologic lesions of EAE were inhibited by treatment with the sterol. These results suggest a potent immunosuppressive role for 1,25-(OH)2-D3 in vivo in the modulation of a cell-mediated model of autoimmunity.

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.
