Project description:One striking observation is that a large portion of the inter-person variation in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels is unexplained. In vitro and in vivo studies indicate vitamin D synthesizing and metabolizing enzymes are Mg-dependent. Magnesium (Mg) supplementation substantially reversed the resistance to vitamin D treatment in patients with magnesium-dependent vitamin-D-resistant rickets. The investigators reported in 2013 from observational studies conducted in the general US population that Mg intake significantly interacted with vitamin D intake in affecting vitamin D status as well as interacted with serum 25(OH)D in risk of cardiovascular disease mortality and, maybe, colorectal cancer mortality. The potential interaction between Mg and vitamin D was supported by two subsequent studies, including a Finnish cohort study and a mouse study.
In the parent study (Personalized Prevention of Colorectal Cancer Trial, NCT01105169), the investigators proposed to measure blood concentration of total 25(OH)D as a secondary aim using Elisa approach. However, following the novel finding of Mg-vitamin D interaction published by the investigators in 2013, they submitted a separate grant application to NCI which was funded in 2014. In the new study, the investigators proposed to use a LC-MS approach, which is more accurate and specific than an Elisa method, to measure 5 vitamin D metabolites. This new ancillary study allows the investigators to evaluate whether Mg supplementation differentially affects vitamin D synthesis and metabolism dependent on baseline serum 25(OH)D levels using existing biospecimens collected in our double-blind placebo-controlled randomized chemoprevention trial.

Project description:Although dietary vitamin D supplementation has been used in the clinical setting for decades, the effect of supplementary vitamin D consumption on the structure of the microbiome has not been studied in humans in fine scale or with concomitant adjustment for dietary intake. Understanding the interaction of vitamin D with the microbiome in humans could lead to important advancements in the understanding of how vitamin D together with diet impacts the microbiome composition, and ultimately, risk of EOCRC. This study has the potential to lay the ground work for an adjunctive therapy to manipulate the microbiome to reduce risk of EOCRC. This proposed study is designed to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the normal structure of the microbiome and data will not be used to diagnose, prevent, cure or treat disease.

Project description:Illumina Infinium EPIC HumanMethylation BeadChip data from saliva DNA samples from a healthy elderly cohort with individuals in the age range 70-95 in Southwest Sweden. The cohort was stratified into study groups based on participants´answers to a questionnaire of different lifestyle factors including vitamin supplementations, smoking and drinking habits, physical activity (per year), sun exposure and eating habits. Vitamin D intake was evaluated from the vitamin D supplementation (alone or in a multivitamin complex), dietary vitamin D intake (fish and seafood frequency) and vitamin D synthesis in the skin (sunlight exposure and use of sunscreen). Differential methylation analysis was performed for all the study groups and the combination of different factors with vitamin D supplementation. Gender, age, smoking and alcohol (SD and frequency) were used as covariates in the analyses. Only the study groups referred to the conclusions of the study are shown.

Project description:This study investigated the effect of vitamin C deficiency combined with/without a change to a low fat diet on the NAFLD/NASH hepatic transcriptome in the guinea pig NASH model. Vitamin C deficiency per se did not accelerate disease induction. However, the results showed a clear effect of the diet change on resolution of hepatic hallmarks (p<0.05), and indicated a positive effect of a high vitamin C intake compared to both high fat groups. The data suggest that a poor vitamin C status delays the reversion towards a healthy hepatic transcriptome and phenotype. In conclusion, the findings support a beneficial role of adequate vitamin C intake in the regression of NASH and may indicate that vitamin C supplementation in addition to lifestyle modifications could accelerate recovery in NASH patients with poor vitamin C status.

Project description:N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) can be formed through endogenous nitrosation in the human body and are known to induce micronuclei (MN) formation in vitro. Since lymphocytic MN represent a well-validated biomarker of effect with regard to carcinogenic risk in multiple target organs, establishing a link between NOCs and MN in humans could provide evidence for a carcinogenic risk. Investigating gene expression modulations in relation to NOC exposure could provide further crucial information on underlying molecular mechanisms-of-action. The purpose of this study is therefore to establish the relationship between human NOC exposure under daily life conditions and MN formation in relation to associated transcriptomic changes, using lymphocytes as a surrogate tissue for analyzing carcinogenic events in target organs. We analyzed gene expression levels and MN frequency in lymphocytes from adults participating in a European cohort from the multidisciplinary research project NewGeneris. For assessing exposure to NOCs, urinary samples were analyzed for marker nitrosamines by GC-MS. NOC exposure was subsequently linked to peripheral blood transcriptomics. We found an association between MN frequency and urinary NOCs, indicating that NOC exposure under daily life circumstances may play an important role in human cancer development. Furthermore, we have identified modifications in pathways which indicate a molecular response to NOC-induced genotoxicity. From this, we derived a small group of genes which could be suitable as mechanistic-based transcriptomic biomarkers of NOC exposure-related cancer risk. The modified genetic processes and genes found in this study may be of interest for future investigations into NOC-associated carcinogenicity in humans. The study investigated transcription levels in human whole blood from 30 pregnant mothers in a Danish NewGeneris cohort. For each subject, cRNA copies of isolated mRNA were labeled with one dye (Cy3) and each sample was hybridized on separate arrays. One replicate per subject (so 30 arrays in total).

Project description:It has been demonstrated that vitamin C enhances reprogramming efficiency during inducing pluripotent stem cells, however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. To find the downstream target genes of vitamin C and investigate the mechanism of vitamin C on reprogramming promotion, we performed Microarray analyses to identify its downstream targets. Retinoic acid (RA), a stimulus molecule for cellular differentiation, is set as negative control. The data show the genes regulated by vitamin C or RA.
