    Title: Vitamin D and systemic lupus erythematosus: Causality and association with disease activity and therapeutics
    Authors: Ho, LJ;Wu, CH;Luo, SF;Lai, JH
    Contributors: Institute of Cellular and Systems Medicine
    Abstract: The major role of bioactive vitamin 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D or calcitriol) is to maintain the levels of calcium and phosphorus to achieve bone and mineral homeostasis. Dietary intake and adequate natural light exposure are the main contributors to normal vitamin D status. In addition to regulating metabolism, vitamin D exerts various immunomodulatory effects that regulate innate and adaptive immunity through immune effector cells such as monocytes, macrophages, T and B lymphocytes, and natural killer cells and nonimmune cells that express vitamin D receptors. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with an unknown etiology, and the association between vitamin D and SLE remains incompletely understood. Given that the current treatment for SLE relies heavily on corticosteroids and that SLE patients tend to have low vitamin D status, vitamin D supplementation may help to reduce the dosage of corticosteroids and/or attenuate disease severity. In this review, we address the associations between vitamin D and several clinical aspects of SLE. In addition, the underlying immunomodulatory mechanisms accounting for the potential vitamin D-mediated therapeutic effects are discussed. Finally, several confounding factors in data interpretation and the execution of clinical trials and perspectives targeting vitamin D supplementation in patients with SLE are also addressed.
