THE VITAMIN D RECEPTOR TAQ I POLYMORPHISM IS ASSOCIATED WITH REDUCED VDR AND INCREASED PDIA3 PROTEIN LEVELS IN HUMAN INTESTINAL FIBROBLASTS
2020
The synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs731236, located in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene (Taq I) has been associated with both decreased levels of the protein in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and a fibrosis-related complication in Crohn´s disease (CD). Interactions between VDR and a protein-disulfide isomerase-associated 3 (PDIA3) in the regulation of extracellular matrix have been reported and we aim to analyze the relevance of the VDR genotypes and the effects of Vitamin D (VD) in the expression of VDR, PDIA3 and proliferation of intestinal fibroblasts. Human intestinal fibroblasts were isolated from the non-affected surgical resections of colorectal patients and cl…
P046 Vitamin D decreases PDIA3 and prevents the enhanced migration of fibroblasts from stricturing Crohn’s disease
2020
Abstract Background Fibrosis is a common complication in Crohn’s disease (CD) patients and fibroblasts play an important role in the fibrogenic process. Low vitamin D (VD) levels and a defective VD-signalling pathway have been reported in CD. VD signals through both vitamin D receptor (VDR) and protein disulfide-isomerase A3 (PDIA3) and we have previously demonstrated that VDR protein levels are reduced in fibroblasts isolated from CD patients and that VD increased VDR expression in these cells (A-2080; ECCO 2019). We aim to analyse here the effect of VD on both PDIA3 protein levels and migration in CD fibroblasts. Methods We used intestinal fibroblasts isolated from surgical resections of …
Consensus guidelines for the detection of immunogenic cell death
2014
Apoptotic cells have long been considered as intrinsically tolerogenic or unable to elicit immune responses specific for dead cell-associated antigens. However, multiple stimuli can trigger a functionally peculiar type of apoptotic demise that does not go unnoticed by the adaptive arm of the immune system, which we named "immunogenic cell death" (ICD). ICD is preceded or accompanied by the emission of a series of immunostimulatory damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in a precise spatiotemporal configuration. Several anticancer agents that have been successfully employed in the clinic for decades, including various chemotherapeutics and radiotherapy, can elicit ICD. Moreover, defect…
