PG - 290-4 LID - S0960-0760(12)00139-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2012.07.003 [doi] AB - Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile vasculitis of childhood that is associated with elevated production of inflammatory cytokines, causing damage to the coronary arteries. The production of proinflammatory cytokines and expression of adhesion molecules in human coronary arterial endothelial cells (HCAECs) is regulated by nuclear transcription factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation. We have previously reported that the active form of vitamin D, 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3)), inhibits tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced NF-kappaB activation. In this study, we examined the anti-inflammatory effects of 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3) on TNF-alpha-induced adhesion molecule expression (vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)) and cytokine production (interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8) in HCAECs. Pretreatment with 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3) significantly inhibited TNF-alpha-induced VCAM-1 expression and IL-8 production in HCAECs. Our results suggest that adjunctive 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3) therapy may modulate the inflammatory response during Kawasaki disease vasculitis. CI - Copyright (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
