Vitamin D is the strongest known natural anti-proliferative. A large number of studies in a wide spectrum of cancers, including epidemiological, in vitro and animal models, demonstrate that the active form of Vitamin D has anti-cancer benefits, affecting both progression and metastasis. Alike the ro...

In innate immune responses, activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) triggers direct antimicrobial activity against intracellular bacteria, which in murine, but not human, monocytes and macrophages is mediated principally by nitric oxide. We report here that TLR activation of human macrophages up-re...

We used ChIP-Seq to identify the genomic locations bound by the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in two lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) (CEPH individuals GM10855 and GM10861 from the International HapMap Project) before and after calcitriol treatment for 36 hours. Immunoprecipitated DNA was sequenced using...

Inflammatory signals must be regulated and kept in check in order to prevent tissue damage.  This is especially true in the cornea, where damage can induce loss of transparency, essential for vision.  Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are present at the ocular surface and, in addition to being protective...

Previous reports have shown low vitamin D serum levels and polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) to be associated with increased risk for TB. Given that 1?,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 has a role in lipid metabolism control, we tested whether the link between 1?,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and tubercul...

The poor clinical outcome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has been attributed to intrinsic resistance to chemotherapy and a growth-permissive tumor microenvironment. Quiescent pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are neuroendocrine, nestin-positive, lipid-accumulating cells whose homologues i...

Analysis of livers from 74-day old male rats fed vitamin A sufficient or vitamin A deficient diet for 53 days. Either 10ug or 2ug of total RNA used in standard Affymetrix protocol

The biologically active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), is a direct regulator of gene transcription, since it is the only high affinity natural ligand of the transcription factor vitamin D receptor (VDR). Transcriptome-wide analysis of THP-1 human monocyte-like cells had i...
