Table 1 Potential mechanisms of interaction between vitamin D and GC
From: Vitamin D, allergies and asthma: focus on pediatric patients
- | Enhanced dexamethasone (DEX)-induced expression of IL- 10 by T regulatory cells |
- | Preincubation of T cells with both IL-10 and vitamin D3 overcame defects in DEX-induced CD41 T cell IL-10 production |
- | Possible mechanism in which vitamin D3 reversed ligand-induced down-regulation of the GC receptor |
- | High concentrations of vitamin D were instead put in relation with the increased expression of MPK-1 protein by blood mononuclear cells |
