Inhibition of dendritic cell (DC) maturity is an important immunomodulatory effect of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)) and related analogs (D(3) analogs). The mechanisms underlying 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)-mediated DC modulation are Vitamin D receptor (VDR)-dependent and likely involve direct or indirect regulation of multiple genes. Gene expression profiles of bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) generated in the absence or presence of a potent D(3) analog were analyzed using microarray technology. Results for D(3) analog-conditioned DCs were also compared with glucocorticoid-conditioned BMDCs and with BMDCs conditioned with D(3) analog and glucocorticoid combined. Of approximately 12,000 gene products assayed, 52% were considered to have detectable expression in unconditioned BMDCs. Based on relative expression levels, 5.3% of these expressed genes were "silenced" or "suppressed" in D(3) analog-conditioned BMDCs and 2.1% were "augmented". In addition, 1.7% of gene products undetectable in control BMDCs were "induced" by D(3) analog. Functional grouping of modulated genes demonstrated important effects of D(3) analog on immunoreceptors, on chemokines and chemokine receptors, on growth factors/cytokines and related receptors, and on neuroendocrine hormones and related receptors. Many of these gene products were unaffected or differently regulated by glucocorticoid suggesting specific VDR-mediated regulatory effects. Confirmation of microarray analysis results for two differentially regulated chemokines (MIP-1alpha and RANTES) was obtained by RT-PCR and ELISA. The methodology provides novel insights into DC gene regulation by 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) agonists.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D002117 Calcitriol The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption. 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1, 25-(OH)2D3,1,25(OH)2D3,1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,1,25(OH)2-20epi-D3,1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,20-epi-1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecaliferol,Bocatriol,Calcijex,Calcitriol KyraMed,Calcitriol-Nefro,Decostriol,MC-1288,MC1288,Osteotriol,Renatriol,Rocaltrol,Silkis,Sitriol,Soltriol,Tirocal,1 alpha,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 dihydroxy 20 epi Vitamin D3,Calcitriol Nefro,D3, 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin,KyraMed, Calcitriol,MC 1288
D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).
