Abstract
Persistent inflammatory response in cystic fibrosis (CF) airways is believed to play a central role in the progression of lung damage. Anti-inflammatory treatment may slow lung disease progression, but adverse side effects have limited its use. Vitamin D has immunoregulatory properties. We randomized 16 CF patients to receive vitamin D2, vitamin D3 or to serve as controls, and investigated the effect of vitamin D supplementation on soluble immunological parameters, myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) and T cell activation. Three months of vitamin D treatment were followed by two washout months. Vitamin D status at baseline was correlated negatively with haptoglobin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and immunoglobulin A concentration. Total vitamin D dose per kg bodyweight correlated with the down-modulation of the co-stimulatory receptor CD86 on mDCs. Vitamin D treatment was associated with reduced CD279 (PD-1) expression on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, as well as decreased frequency of CD8+ T cells co-expressing the activation markers CD38 and human leucocyte antigen D-related (HLA-DR) in a dose-dependent manner. There was a trend towards decreased mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT) cell frequency in patients receiving vitamin D and free serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (free-s25OHD) correlated positively with CD38 expression by these cells. At the end of intervention, the change in free-s25OHD was correlated negatively with the change in CD279 (PD-1) expression on MAIT cells. Collectively, these data indicate that vitamin D has robust pleiotropic immunomodulatory effects in CF. Larger studies are needed to explore the immunomodulatory treatment potential of vitamin D in CF in more detail.
