Radiographic alveolar bone level and levels of serum 25-OH-Vitamin D₃ in ethnic Norwegian and Tamil periodontitis patients and their periodontally healthy controls.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies suggest association between low serum 25-OH-Vitamin D₃ (VitD) and chronic destructive periodontal diseases. The main sources of VitD is sun exposure and fat fish. Subjects with dark skin will therefore generate less VitD as response to sun exposure. The aim of the study was to assess the radiographic bone level and levels of serum VitD in ethnic Norwegian and Tamil periodontitis patients and their respective healthy controls.

Methods

Twenty-seven Tamil periodontitis patients living in Norway were compared to 21 Tamil controls as well as to 21 Norwegian periodontitis patients and 23 Norwegian controls. Marginal bone level was diagnosed on radiographs. VitD levels were diagnosed in blood samples by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Results

VitD levels were lower in Norwegian periodontitis patients than in controls, while no significant differences were observed between Tamil periodontitis patients and controls despite the significant difference between RBL between the periodontitis patients and controls in both groups. When calculating the odds ratio for having periodontal disease in both populations together, it appeared that one unit increased serum VitD (i.e. 1?nmol/L) decreased the odds of having radiographic bone loss by 4%.

Conclusion

According to logistic regression, and after correcting for confounding factors, VitD levels showed significant association with the presence of periodontitis, as expressed by radiographic bone loss, in all patients combined.

Project description:The physiological relevance C-3 epimer of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (3-epi-25(OH)D) is not well understood among youth. The objective of this study was to assess whether demographic/physiologic characteristics were associated with 3-epi-25(OH)D3 concentrations in youth. Associations between 3-epi-25(OH)D3 and demographics and between 3-epi-25(OH)D3, total 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) (25(OH)D2 + 25(OH)D3), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides were examined in racially/ethnically diverse schoolchildren (n = 682; age, 8-15 years) at Boston-area urban schools. Approximately 50% of participants had detectable 3-epi-25(OH)D3 (range 0.95-3.95 ng/mL). The percentage of 3-epi-25(OH)D3 of total 25(OH)D ranged from 2.5% to 17.0% (median 5.5%). Males were 38% more likely than females to have detectable 3-epi-25(OH)D3 concentrations. Both Asian and black race/ethnicity were associated with lower odds of having detectable 3-epi-25(OH)D3 compared with non-Hispanic white children (Asian vs. white, odds ratio (OR) 0.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.14-0.53; black vs. white, OR 0.38, 95%CI 0.23-0.63, p < 0.001). Having an adequate (20-29 ng/mL) or optimal (>30 ng/mL) 25(OH)D concentration was associated with higher odds of having detectable 3-epi-25(OH)D3 than having an inadequate (<20 ng/mL) concentration (OR 4.78, 95%CI 3.23-6.94 or OR 14.10, 95%CI 7.10-28.0, respectively). There was no association between 3-epi-25(OH)D3 and blood lipids. However, when considering 3-epi-25(OH)D3 as a percentage of total 25(OH)D, total cholesterol was lower in children with percent 3-epi-25(OH)D3 above the median (mean difference -7.1 mg/dL, p = 0.01). In conclusion, among schoolchildren, sex, race/ethnicity, and total serum 25(OH)D concentration is differentially associated with 3-epi-25(OH)D. The physiological relevance of 3-epi-25(OH)D3 may be related to the 3-epi-25(OH)D3 as a percentage of total 25(OH)D and should be considered in future investigations.

Project description:Background and purposeThere is sufficient evidence to support vitamin D's noncalcemic effects and the role of vitamin D deficiency in the development of a wide range of neurological disorders. This study aimed to evaluate whether serum 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH) 2 D could be used as biomarkers to differentiate between healthy subjects (HS), multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease (PD) patients of both genders.MethodsA total of 107 subjects were included in this study, divided into three groups: 1- HS (n = 61), 2- MSA patients (n = 19), and 3- PD patients (n = 27). The patients were assessed using UMSARS II, UPDRS III, H&Y, MMSE and MoCA rating scales. The levels of 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH) 2 D in serum were determined using the radioimmunoassay technique.ResultsThe levels of 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH) 2 D in HS were 26.85 +/- 7.62 ng/mL and 53.63 +/- 13.66 pg/mL respectively. 25(OH)D levels were lower in both MSA and PD by 61% and 50%, respectively (P = 0.0001 vs. HS). 1,25(OH) 2 D levels were lower in MSA by 29%(P = 0.001 vs HS). There was a correlation between 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH) 2 D in MSA and PD, but not in HS. 1,25(OH) 2 D regressed with MMSE (β = 0.476, P = 0.04, R 2 = 0.226) in MSA, and with UPDRS III (β = -0.432, P = 0.024, R 2 = 0.187) and MoCA (β = 0.582, P = 0.005,R 2 = 0.279) in PD. 25(OH)D displayed considerable differentiative strength between HS and MSA (Wald = 17.123, OR = 0.586, P = 0.0001; AUC = 0.982, sensitivity and Youden index = 0.882, P = 0.0001) and PD (Wald = 18.552, OR = 0.700, P = 0.0001; AUC = 0.943, sensitivity = 0.889, YI = 0.791, P = 0.0001). 1,25(OH) 2 D distinguished MSA from PD (Wald 16.178, OR = 1.117, P = 0.0001; AUC = 0.868, sensitivity = 0.926, Youden index =0.632, P = 0.0001). H&Y exhibited the highest sensitivity, AUC, and significant distinguishing power between MSA and PD.ConclusionsSerum 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH) 2 D could be useful biomarkers for MSA and PD. 25(OH)D and H&Y provided the highest sensitivity and group classification characteristics.

Project description:BackgroundEvidence supports a critical role of vitamin D status on exacerbation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, indicating the need to avoid vitamin D deficiency in these patients. However, oral vitamin D supplementation is limited by the potential risk for hypercalcemia. In this study, we investigated if local delivery of vitamin D to the lungs improves vitamin D-mediated anti-inflammatory action in response to acute inflammation without inducing hypercalcemia.MethodsWe studied vitamin D sufficient (VDS) or deficient (VDD) mice in whom 1α,25(OH)2D3 (0.2 μg/kg) or a vehicle followed by lipopolysaccharide (LPS 25 µg) were delivered to the lung as a micro-spray.ResultsLocal 1α,25(OH)2D3 reduced LPS-induced inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in VDS (absolute number of cells: - 57% and neutrophils - 51% p < 0.01) and tended to diminish LPS-increased CXCL5 BAL levels in VDS (- 40%, p = 0.05) while it had no effect on CXCL1 and CXCL2 in BAL and mRNA in lung of VDS and VDD. It also significantly attenuated the increased IL-13 in BAL and lung, especially in VDD mice (- 41 and - 75%, respectively). mRNA expression of Claudin-18 in lung was significantly lower in VDS mice with local 1α,25(OH)2D3 while Claudin-3, -5 and -8 mRNA levels remained unchanged. Finally, in VDD mice only, LPS reduced lung mRNA expression of adhesion junction Zona-occludens-1, in addition to increasing uric acid and total protein in BAL, which both were prevented by local 1α,25(OH)2D3.ConclusionUnder normal levels of vitamin D, local 1α,25(OH)2D3 nebulization into the lung efficiently reduced LPS induction of inflammatory cells in BAL and slightly attenuated LPS-increase in CXCL5. In case of severe vitamin D deficiency, although local 1α,25(OH)2D3 nebulization failed to significantly minimize cellular inflammation in BAL at this dose, it prevented epithelial barrier leakage and damage in lung. Additional research is needed to determine the potential long-term beneficial effects of local 1α,25(OH)2D3 nebulization on lung inflammation.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant health burden especially among African Americans (AA). Epidemiological studies have correlated low serum vitamin D with CRC risk, and, while hypovitaminosis D is more common and more severe in AA, the mechanisms by which vitamin D modulates CRC risk and how these differ by race are not well understood. Active vitamin D (1α,25(OH)2D3) has chemoprotective effects primarily through transcriptional regulation of target genes in the colon. We hypothesized that transcriptional response to 1α,25(OH)2D3 differs between AA and European Americans (EA) irrespective of serum vitamin D and that regulatory variants could impact transcriptional response. We treated ex vivo colon cultures from 34 healthy subjects (16 AA and 18 EA) with 0.1μM 1α,25(OH)2D3 or vehicle control for 6h and performed genome-wide transcriptional profiling. We found 8 genes with significant differences in transcriptional response to 1α,25(OH)2D3 between AA and EA with definitive replication of inter-ethnic differences for uridine phosphorylase 1 (UPP1) and zinc finger-SWIM containing 4 (ZSWIM4). We performed expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping and identified response cis-eQTLs for ZSWIM4 as well as for histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), the latter of which showed a trend toward significant inter-ethnic differences in transcriptional response. Allele frequency differences of eQTLs for ZSWIM4 and HDAC3 accounted for observed transcriptional differences between populations. Taken together, our results demonstrate that transcriptional response to 1α,25(OH)2D3 differs between AA and EA independent of serum 25(OH)D levels. We provide evidence in support of a genetic regulatory mechanism underlying transcriptional differences between populations for ZSWIM4 and HDAC3. Further work is needed to elucidate how response eQTLs modify vitamin D response and whether genotype and/or transcriptional response correlate with chemopreventive effects. Relevant biomarkers, such as tissue-specific 1α,25(OH)2D3 transcriptional response, could identify individuals likely to benefit from vitamin D for CRC prevention as well as elucidate basic mechanisms underlying CRC disparities.
