In the present study, we examined whether anti‐CD40+IL‐4‐mediated B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin synthesis is affected by vitamin D (VD) and its low‐hypercalcemic analogue EB1089 in Bcells from healthy donors. Analysis of vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression showed that only anti‐CD40+IL‐4‐stimulated, but not resting B cells express VDR. Studies on B cell proliferation revealed that anti‐CD40+IL‐4‐mediated proliferation of B cells was not affected by VD or EB1089. By contrast, IgE synthesis was markedly inhibited by both, VD and EB1089, starting at concentrations from 10–10 M for VD and 10–12 M for EB1089, with maximal inhibition at 10–6 M (VD 85.5±9.7%; EB1089 77.3±10.8%). The production of the other Ig (IgA and IgG) was not significantly inhibited by VD after anti‐CD40+IL‐4 stimulation, and IgM production was only slightly reduced (18.7±7.9%). These observations were confirmed by intracellular staining of the different isotypes in B cells after anti‐CD40+IL‐4 stimulation, which showed a strong reduction of IgE+ cells in the presence of VD. Analyses of molecules that are known to affect IgE production (CD23 and IL‐6) revealed that these are not involved in VD‐dependent inhibition of IgE production. By contrast, epsilon germ‐line transcription was inhibited by VD (41.2±26.1%; n=5), as was NF‐κB (p50 and p65) protein expression in stimulated cells. These data show that VD and its analogue EB1089 inhibit IgE production of anti‐CD40+IL‐4‐stimulated B cells in vitro. Theinvolved mechanism includes epsilon germ‐line transcription, NF‐κB activation and switch recombination suggesting that complex mechanisms of VD action in anti‐CD40+IL‐4‐stimulated B cells areresponsible.
