1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-3 [1,25-(OH)(2)-D-3] is known to be an immunosuppressive hormone. This review primarily deals with in vitro and in vivo effects of 1,25-(OH)(2)-D-3 and analogue, 1,25-dihydroxy-16ene-vitamin D-3 [1,25-(OH)(2)-16ene-D-3], on T helper subsets type 1 (Th-1) or type 2 (Th-2) that have distinctive functional characteristics in humans. Th, secrete interferon (IFN-gamma), interleukin (IL-2) and induce B cells to produce immunoglobulin IgG(2a) while Th-2 secrete IL-4, IL-10 end induce the production of IgG(1) and IgE by B cells. The sterol inhibits the secretion of IL-12, a cytokine produced by monocytes and B cells, which leads to the activation and differentiation of Th,. In addition, 1,25-(OH)(2)-D-3 directly inhibits IFN-gamma secretion by Th, clones while it has little effect on IL-4 secretion by Th-2 clones. The analogue, 1,25-(OH)(2)-16ene-D-3, is 100-fold more potent than 1,25-(OH)(2)-D-3 in inhibiting IFN-gamma secretion but also has little effect on IL-4 secretion. In mice, when given in vivo, the sterol prevents the induction of spontaneous and induced autoimmune diseases and inhibits Th, induce IgG(2a) responses. These actions of the vitamin D-3 compounds suggest that it may have potential therapeutic applications in Th-1-mediated clinical situations such as autoimmunity and transplantation.
