Changes in the mRNA expression of VDR, CYP27B1, CYP24A1, and IL-10 in PBMCs in response to stimulation with LPS+CD40L+CpG-ODN (nonspecific) with or without 1,25(OH)2D3. In HCs and patients with MS or NMOSD, stimulation with 1,25(OH)2D3 increased the mRNA expression of CYP24A1 and decreased that of CYP27B1 over those observed in samples stimulated with LPS+CD40L+CpG-ODN alone. * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001. 1,25(OH)2D3, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3; CD40L, CD40 ligand; CpG-ODN, cytosine phosphate guanosine oligodeoxynucleotides; HC, healthy control; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; MS, multiple sclerosis; NMOSD, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder; PBMC, peripheral blood mononuclear cell.
