Evidence-based non-skeletal actions of vitamin D

Abstract: SummaryVitamin D is a major regulator of mineral homeostasis through its action in the kidney, intestine, bone and parathyroid glands. On these tissues, its active form, calcitriol, acts by binding to a specific nuclear receptor that belongs to the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor family. This receptor, however, has also been identified in several additional human tissues. So, apart from its traditional actions related to calcium, vitamin D and its synthetic analogs are being increasingly recognized for their … Show more

“…It is also involved in many noncalcemic activities including antiproliferative, prodifferentiative, and immunomodulatory effects (37). Thus, sufficient vitamin D supply has been linked to decreased risks of many inflammation-related diseases such as Crohn disease, asthma, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and even cancers (6).…”

“…The metabolism of dietary vitamin D or vitamin D synthesized in the skin involves hydroxylation of carbon 25 by the enzyme 25-hydroxylase, forming 25-hydroxyvitamin D or calcidiol, the most abundant form of this hormone in the body [19][20][21]. The final stage of vitamin D production is the additional hydroxylation that occurs in the cells of the proximal convoluted tubule in the kidney, giving rise to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D or calcitriol, the biologically active form that exerts action through binding with the VDR [12,22].…”

“…O papel da vitamina D no metabolismo do cálcio é muito bem estudada e sua ação na resposta imune tem sido descrita pela ação em mecanismos antiproliferativos, pró-diferenciação e imunomodulatórios (Muszkai et al 2010). A vitamina D é um potente regulador do sistema imunológico em geral e especificamente das células T. No metabolismo, o 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 liga-se ao receptor de vitamina D (VDR) e juntos regulam a transcrição de diversos genes, o que explica a presença de receptores em diversos componentes do sistema imunológico, como o timo e as células T, nas quais o 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 age aumentando a produção de IL-4 por Th2.…”
