Functions of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3, vitamin D3 receptor and interleukin-22 involved in pathogenesis of gout arthritis through altering metabolic pattern and inflammatory responses

Background Gouty arthritis (GA) is a common type of inflammatory arthritis. Recent studies demonstrated that 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 (1,25(OH) 2 VD3) and vitamin D3 receptor (VD-R) play a protective role in acute inflammation, but interleukin-22(IL-22) promotes inflammation, especially for arthrit...

The levels of IL-22 and 1,25(OH)2VD3 were determined in patient’s plasma via ELISA, and the mRNA levels of IL-22 and VD-R were measured via qRT-PCR.

The levels of IL-22 and 1,25(OH) 2VD3 were positively and negatively correlated with C-reactive protein (CRP) serum levels, respectively. Both IL-22 and 1,25(OH) 2 VD3 functioned in GA-related immune and inflammatory responses, and closely correlated with the level of GA-related uric acid.
