摘要
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (1,25(OH)(2) D-3) has been shown to modulate lymphocyte activation in vitro. Through binding to specific: receptors 1,25-(OH)(2) D-3 inhibits proliferation, immunoglobulin production and the release of cytokines, Moreover, 1,25-(OH)(2) D-3 is efficiently produced by activated monocytes, These findings suggest that 1,25-(OH)(2) D-3 may play a role as a regulator of immunological activation. Consequently, we found it of interest to study the serum levels of the two major metabolites of vitamin D, in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (n=21), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (n=29) and osteoarthritis (n=12). In patients with SLE the levels of 25-OH D-3 were below those of the healthy controls (p = 0.0008) and OA (p = 0.0168), The levels 1,25-(OH)(2) D-3 corresponded to normal levels. There were no significant correlations between 25-OH D-3 levels and clinical or paraclinical disease manifestations. Further, the phenotypic distribution of Gc-globulin, which binds vitamin D-3 metabolites in circulation, was normal. The serum concentrations of 1,25-(OH)(2) D-3 and 25-OH D-3 in patients with RA and OA corresponded to those of the controls. Although the cause of the reduced 25-OH D-3 levels in SLE patients is unclear, possible beneficial effects of administration of vitamin D to these patients should be considered.
