Vitamin D limits inflammation-linked microRNA expression in adipocytes in vitro and in vivo: A new mechanism for the regulation of inflammation by vitamin D

Abstract: Inflammation of adipose tissue is believed to be a contributing factor to many chronic diseases associated with obesity. Vitamin D (VD) is now known to limit this metabolic inflammation by decreasing inflammatory marker expression and leukocyte infiltration in adipose tissue. In this study, we investigated the impact of VD on microRNA (miR) expression in inflammatory conditions in human and mouse adipocytes, using high-throughput methodology (miRNA PCR arrays). Firstly, we identified three miRs (miR-146a, miR-… Show more

“…Vitamin D is a micronutrient that was earlier known only for its role in bone mineral homeostasis. In recent years, it has gained the reputation of being a pleiotropic regulator of biological functions ranging from cell cycle regulation to inflammation . Among its extraskeletal effects, its role in cardiometabolic diseases remains a subject of interest.…”

“…In recent years, it has gained the reputation of being a pleiotropic regulator of biological functions ranging from cell cycle regulation to inflammation. [17,18] Among its extraskeletal effects, its role in cardiometabolic diseases remains a subject of interest. While a large number of studies have reported association between vitamin D deficiency and adverse cardiovascular as well as metabolic outcomes in patients, lack of adequate causal insights needs to be addressed.…”

“…The ability of vitD to deactivate NF-κB signaling, via p65 and IκB phosphorylation inhibition in murine adipocytes, was observed and could constitute a driving molecular mechanism (Fig. 1) [60].…”

“…VitD exerts anti-inflammatory effects mediated by the inhibition of the NF-κB and mitogen activated protein kinase signaling pathways [60]. Additionally, vitD reduced toll-like receptor expression, which is increased in both immune cells and AT from people with obesity [63][64][65].…”

“…These unexpected results may be due to a combination of differences in genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, both of which are implicated in MS causation. For example, previous studies have reported that environmental factors such as deficiency of vitamin D, Epstein Barr Virus infection and smoking may increase the risk of MS in genetically predisposed patients (3,4,5) as well as influence the expression levels of miR-155 and miR-146a (45)(46)(47) and consequently impacting the activity, disability and subtype of patients (43,44). Therefore, other functional polymorphisms of miR-155 and miR-146a genes should also be investigated to determine their association with susceptibility to MS.…”
