Vitamin D
Effect of early vitamin D supplementation on asthma and the possible mechanisms
, “Effect of early vitamin D supplementation on asthma and the possible mechanisms”, vol. 14, pp. 14136-14143, 2015.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways with variable airflow obstruction and bronchial hyper-responsiveness. It is believed that Th2-derived cytokines orchestrate the asthmatic response and the maintenance of the balance of Th1/Th2 plays a crucial role in prevention of asthma. Moreover, 1,25(OH)2D3, the biologically activate form of vitamin D, was reported with an almost opposite role in prevention and treatment of asthma.
Reversal effect of vitamin D on different multidrug-resistant cells
, “Reversal effect of vitamin D on different multidrug-resistant cells”, vol. 13, pp. 6239-6247, 2014.
We investigated the reversal effect of vitamin D on the multidrug-resistant leukemic Jurkat/ADR and K562/ADR cell lines and conducted a preliminary investigation of its reversal mechanism. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method was used to detect the reversal effect of vitamin D on multidrug-resistant cells. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the effect of vitamin D on intracellular expression of mRNA of the multidrug-resistant gene (MDRI) and the multidrug-resistance-related gene (MRP1).
