Vitamin D-3 has emerged as an important regulator of the immune system. With metabolic enzymes for vitamin D-3 activation and vitamin D receptors (VDR) now identified in a variety of immune cells, the active vitamin D-3 metabolite 1,25(OH)(2)D-3, is thought to possess immunomodulatory properties. We examined whether 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 might also enhance the NLRP3-dependent release of mature IL-1 beta from macrophages. PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells were stimulated with vitamin D-3 metabolites and assessed for CYP27, CYP24, NLRP3, ASC, procaspase-1 expression by western blot and real-time qPCR as well as inflammasome activation with pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1b release measured by ELISA. Exposure to 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 had no effect on the basal expression levels of VDR; however, CYP27A1 transcript was suppressed and CYP24A1 transcript was substantively elevated. Both 1,25(OH)(2)D-3- and 25(OH) D-3 induced IL-1b release from THP-1 cells, and these effects were blocked with application of the caspase-1 inhibitor YVAD and the NLRP3 inhibitors glyburide and Bay 11-7082. Interestingly, 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 exposure reduced NLRP3 protein expression but had no effect on ASC or pro-caspase-1 protein levels. The increase in mature IL-1b elicited by 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 was modest compared to that found for ATP or C. difficile toxins. However, co-treatment of THP-1 cells with ATP and 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 resulted in more IL-1b secretion than ATP or 1,25(OH)(2)D-3 alone. J. Cell. Biochem. 116: 711-720, 2015.
