Vitamin D Signaling in the Context of Innate Immunity: Focus on Human Monocytes
13 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
The vitamin D3 metabolite 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) activates at sub-nanomolar concentrations the transcription factor vitamin D receptor (VDR). VDR is primarily involved in the control of cellular metabolism but in addition modulates processes important for immunity, such as anti-microbial defense and induction of T cell tolerance. Monocytes and their differentiated phenotypes, macrophages and...
