Dendritic cells as key targets for immunomodulation by Vitamin D receptor ligands

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Luciano AdoriniMilan Uskokovic

Abstract

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) ligands, in addition to controlling calcium metabolism, exert important effects on the growth and differentiation of many cell types and possess pronounced pro-tolerogenic immunoregulatory activities. VDR ligands can act directly on T cells, but antigen-presenting cells (APCs), and in particular dendritic cells (DCs), appear to be primary targets for their tolerogenic properties. The capacity of VDR ligands to target APCs and T cells is mediated by VDR expression in both cell types and by the presence of common targets in their signal transduction pathways, such as the nuclear factor NF-kB that is down-regulated in APCs and in T cells. VDR ligands can induce in vitro and in vivo tolerogenic DCs able to enhance CD4(+)CD25(+) suppressor T cells that, in turn, inhibit Th1 cell responses. These mechanisms of action can explain some of the immunoregulatory properties of VDR ligands, and are potentially relevant for the treatment of Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases and allograft rejection.

Autoimmune Diabetes & Tolerance

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
