Association of vitamin D receptor gene variants with polycystic ovary syndrome: A case control study
BACKGROUND Vitamin D and insulin play an important role in susceptibility to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and therefore vitamin D receptor (VDR), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and insulin receptor (INSR) gene variants might be involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS. OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to investigate the possible associations between polymorphisms in VDR, PTH, and INSR ge...
In humans, familial or idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) is a common cause of hypercalciuria and predisposes to calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis. Intestinal calcium hyperabsorption is a constant feature of IH and may be due to either a vitamin D-independent process in the intestine, a primary overproduction of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], or a defect in renal tubular calcium reabsorption...
We showed previously that liganded vitamin D receptor (VDR) effects a suppression of human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP) gene-promoter activity in cultured neonatal rat atrial myocytes. In the present study, we have attempted to identify the structural domains of the VDR that are involved in mediating this suppression. We examined the effects of a series of VDR mutants on a cotransfected hA...
Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with cardiovascular dysfunction. We evaluated the role of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in vascular endothelial function, a marker of cardiovascular health, at baseline and in the presence of angiotensin II, using an endothelial-specific knockout of the murine VDR gene. In the absence of endothelial VDR, acetylcholine-induced aortic relaxation was signifi...
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) serves as a for active hydroxyderivatives. formation of hydroxyderivatives requires the presence specific cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes metabolism. These can be further hydroxylated by CYP27B1 at C1α-position which increases their affinity VDR. However, role in antiproliferative and antifibrotic activities CYP11A1-derived D3-metabolites is unknown. We tested action ...
Background and Aim: In addition to exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), development of tuberculosis is influenced by environmental and host genetic factors, and clinical disease only occurs in less than 10% of the infected individuals. Vitamin D metabolism leads to activation of macrophages and restricts the intracellular growth of mycobacterium. This effect may be influenced by poly...
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are autoimmune diseases characterized by symmetrical proximal muscle weakness. Our aim was to identify a correlation between VDR polymorphisms or haplotypes and myositis. We studied VDR-BsmI, VDR-ApaI, VDR-TaqI, and VDR-FokI polymorphisms and haplotypes in 89 Hungarian poly-/dermatomyositis patients (69 females) and 93 controls (52 females). We did not obtain ...
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an immune-mediated cholestatic disease. Vitamin D receptor (VDR)-dependent signaling constrains an inflammatory response by targeting the miRNA155-SOCS1 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 1) axis. The VDR-miRNA155-SOCS1 pathway was investigated in the context of the autoimmune response associated with PBC. Human liver tissues from non-cirrhotic PBC (n = 22), ...
BACKGROUND Vitamin D and its nuclear receptor (VDR) are linked to asthma in a genetic and immunologic basis. Polymorphisms in the VDR gene may alter the actions of vitamin D and then influence the development and the severity of asthma. AIMS We aimed at elucidating the genetic association of VDR gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to asthma in Tunisian children and with serum vitamin D lev...
Vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene abnormalities confer susceptibility to tuberculosis. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), such asTLR-2, are also important mediators of inflammatory response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We evaluated serum vitamin D, and VDR and TLR-2 gene polymorphisms in patients with spinal tuberculosis.This study comprised of 3 groups: spinal tuberculosis...
