Protective effect of vitamin D3 analogues on endotoxin shock in mice

Abstract: The effect of vitamin D3 analogues on endotoxin shock in mice was investigated. Male ICR mice were orally administered vitamin D3 analogues or vehicle, accompanied by an intraperitoneal injection of endotoxin (E. Coli lipopolysaccharide, LPS, 20 mg/kg). Endotoxin caused a decrease in survival rate in a time-dependent manner. Increases in plasma immunoreactive (i) eicosanoid and hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were also observed. Administration of 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 (1 alpha-OH-D3) improved the surv… Show more

“…We, therefore, decided to duplicate the experimental protocols used by Horiuchi 6 and Asakura 7 but also to add an examination of a model of abdominal sepsis. To probe the possibility that 1,25-vit D could have therapeutic potential within pharmacologically safe doses, a previously validated dose of 1,25-vit D was chosen 8 .…”

“…40 1,25-VD has been found to inhibit endotoxin shock through regulation of free radical formation in mice. 41 1,25-VD enhanced intracellular GSH pools, and thus decreased free radical formation in rat primary astrocytes. 42 Furthermore, vitamin D has also been reported to reduce oxidative stress by upregulating antioxidant systems, including GSH, GPx and superoxide dismutase in rats.…”

“…Therefore, it is possible to speculate that calcitriol and other vitamin D derivatives might have some beneficial effect in certain situations of abnormal cytokine release. For instance, given its capability to de crease TNF secretion both in vitro and ex vivo, it would be interesting to explore its usefulness to ameliorate the symp toms of the 'cytokine release syndrome' associated with the use of OKT3 antibodies [29], A beneficial effect of calcitriol in vivo has also been recently reported in some animal models of autoimmune disease [30] and endotoxic shock [31].…”
