Vitamin D3 enhances bactericidal activity of macrophage against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The bioactive form of vitamin D3, i.e.1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) vitamin D has been shown to modulate monocytes/macrophages physiology and its response against bacterial infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen that can most frequently be...

Zusammenfassung:The bioactive form of vitamin D3, i.e.1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) vitamin D has been shown to modulate monocytes/macrophages physiology and its response against bacterial infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen that can most frequently be fatal in immunocompromised infected people. We investigated the ex vivo effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on monocyte-derived macrophages function against P. aeruginosa infection. Relative vitamin D receptor (VDR) mRNA expression was significantly increased in infected and 1,25(OH)2D3-treated macrophages compared to controls (p
