  • Title: 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 regulates proliferation of activated T-lymphocyte subsets.
    Author: Matsui T, Nakao Y, Koizumi T, Nakagawa T, Fujita T.
    Journal: Life Sci; 1985 Jul 08; 37(1):95-101. PubMed ID: 2989641.
    Abstract:
    The biologically active vitamin D metabolite, 1,25-(OH) 2D3 suppressed phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-induced lymphocyte proliferation dose-dependently (0.1 nM-100 nM), and decreased the OKT4+/OKT8+ ratio and transferrin-receptor-positive (OKT9+) cells. A possible parallelism between expression of 1,25-(OH) 2D3 receptors and interleukin 2 (IL2)-receptors recognized by anti-Tac antibody was not confirmed in this study. However, the addition of exogenous IL2 abolished the inhibitory effects of 1,25-(OH) 2D3 on PHA-stimulated T-cell proliferation, and the decrease of OKT4+ and OKT9+ T-cell in this population. Among various vitamin D3 analogues examined, 1,25-(OH) 2D3 was the most potent anti-proliferative effect, followed in order by 1,24S-(OH) 2D3, 1 alpha OH D3, 25 OH D3 and 24,25-(OH) 2D3.
