1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) influences the differentiation and cytokine secretion of various immune cell types. These immune modulating effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 are mediated through the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR). In the immune system, the 1,25(OH)2D3/VDR complex interacts with promoter vitamin D responsive elements (VDRE), or interferes with the signalling of other transcription factor...
