Are the Immunomodulatory Properties of Vitamin D Dependent Upon Route of Supplementation? Catherine Hawrylowicz Kylie Morgan, Antony Young Vitamin D & human health Vitamin D insufficiency is a worldwide epidemic (>1 billion affected) Vitamin D insufficiency correlates with immune disease presentation & severity • Autoimmune: IBS, RA, MS • Respiratory: Asthma, Allergy, COPD Bacterial & viral infections Low UVR exposure gradient effect • Multiple sclerosis, Type 1 diabetes • Peanut allergy in Australia Holick M, 2007.

Lancet Respir Med 5(11):881-890. Vitamin D supplementation reduced the rate of asthma exacerbations requiring treatment with systemic corticosteroids overall…….. Martineau AR et al, 2017 BMJ 356:i6583 Vitamin D supplementation was safe, protected against acute respiratory tract infection overall; greatest in very vitamin D deficient subjects when given daily/weekly; not bolus Immunological mechanisms underpinning associations of vitamin D with respiratory health i. Effective clearance of pathogens ➢Vitamin D enhances multiple antimicrobial mechanisms e.g. cathelicidin, beta-defensins, autophagy J Adams, M Hewison, J White & others ii. Controlled inflammation ➢Vitamin D enhances multiple immune regulatory/anti inflammatory pathways iii. Enhanced clinical & anti-inflammatory response to glucocorticoids ➢ Vitamin D favourably modifies IL-10 / IL-17A ratios Pfeffer & Hawrylowicz, 2018.

Dendritic cell maturation and activation: Vitamin D promotes a tolerogenic phenotype - IMMUNI-D: little or no impact on mDC or pDC frequency or maturation in the periphery in the steady state - mDC activation reduced in culture when vitamin D levels were higher e.g. HLA-DR, CD86, CD83 mDC 2.
