Abstract
Psoriasis is a systemic, chronic, immune-mediated disease that affects approximately 2–3% of the world’s population. The etiology and pathophysiology of psoriasis are still unknown, but the activation of the adaptive immune system with the main role of T-cells is key in psoriasis pathogenesis. The modulation of the local neuroendocrine system with the downregulation of pro-inflammatory and the upregulation of anti-inflammatory messengers represent a promising adjuvant treatment in psoriasis therapies. Vitamin D receptors and vitamin D-mediated signaling pathways function in the skin and are essential in maintaining the skin homeostasis. The active forms of vitamin D act as powerful immunomodulators of clinical response in psoriatic patients and represent the effective and safe adjuvant treatments for psoriasis, even when high doses of vitamin D are administered. The phototherapy of psoriasis, especially UVB-based, changes the serum level of 25(OH)D, but the correlation of 25(OH)D changes and psoriasis improvement need more clinical trials, since contradictory data have been published. Vitamin D derivatives can improve the efficacy of psoriasis phototherapy without inducing adverse side effects. The anti-psoriatic treatment could include non-calcemic CYP11A1-derived vitamin D hydroxyderivatives that would act on the VDR or as inverse agonists on RORs or activate alternative nuclear receptors including AhR and LXRs. In conclusion, vitamin D signaling can play an important role in the natural history of psoriasis. Selective targeting of proper nuclear receptors could represent potential treatment options in psoriasis.

Abstract
Nutrition is a complex topic encompassing diet and a variety of supplements including vitamins, fish oil, herbal products, and probiotics. Patients with psoriasis display high interest in understanding the potential impact of nutritional modifications on their psoriasis. In this review, we examine the evidence for nutritional interventions in psoriasis and summarize important concepts. We found that certain diets, such as low-calorie diets for obese patients, gluten-free diets for patients with comorbid celiac disease, and the Mediterranean diet, may have benefits for psoriasis patients. Supplements in general do not show strong evidence of benefit, though more studies are required given the heterogeneity of these trials. Finally, the gut microbiome has drawn considerable interest in recent years, with specific probiotics showing promising results for psoriasis patients and warranting further exploration.

Oral and Topical Vitamin D, Sunshine, and UVB Phototherapy Safely Control Psoriasis in Patients with Normal Pretreatment Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations: A Literature Review and Discussion of Health Implications. Nutrients 2021; 13:1511. [PMID: 33947070 PMCID: PMC8146035 DOI: 10.3390/nu13051511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2021] [Revised: 04/21/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Vitamin D, sunshine and UVB phototherapy were first reported in the early 1900s to control psoriasis, cure rickets and cure tuberculosis (TB). Vitamin D also controlled asthma and rheumatoid arthritis with intakes ranging from 60,000 to 600,000 International Units (IU)/day. In the 1980s, interest in treating psoriasis with vitamin D rekindled. Since 1985 four different oral forms of vitamin D (D2, D3, 1-hydroxyvitaminD3 (1(OH)D3) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitaminD3 (calcitriol)) and several topical formulations have been reported safe and effective treatments for psoriasis-as has UVB phototherapy and sunshine. In this review we show that many pre-treatment serum 25(OH)D concentrations fall within the current range of normal, while many post-treatment concentrations fall outside the upper limit of this normal (100 ng/mL). Yet, psoriasis patients showed significant clinical improvement without complications using these treatments. Current estimates of vitamin D sufficiency appear to underestimate serum 25(OH)D concentrations required for optimal health in psoriasis patients, while concentrations associated with adverse events appear to be much higher than current estimates of safe serum 25(OH)D concentrations. Based on these observations, the therapeutic index for vitamin D needs to be reexamined in the treatment of psoriasis and other diseases strongly linked to vitamin D deficiency, including COVID-19 infections, which may also improve safely with sufficient vitamin D intake or UVB exposure.

Abstract
Vitamin D treatment is effective when applied topically to the skin for plaque-type psoriasis. Oral vitamin D supplementation might be effective as an adjuvant treatment option in psoriasis. This umbrella review aimed to highlight the current knowledge regarding the use of oral vitamin D for treatment of patients with psoriasis. We performed a literature search and identified 107 eligible full-text articles that were relevant to the research interest. Among these, 10 review articles were selected, and data were extracted. A data synthesis showed that only a few studies monitored oral vitamin D efficacy in patients with psoriasis. No studies investigated the optimal dose of systemic vitamin D in psoriasis. However, most studies did not observe side effects for doses within a relatively narrow range (0.25 to 2 μg/day). These results suggest that more large-scale studies are needed to determine the efficacy, optimal dose, and adverse effects of vitamin D administration in patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
Importance Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease and has significant associated morbidity and effect on quality of life. It is important to determine whether dietary interventions help reduce disease severity in patients with psoriatic diseases. Objective To make evidence-based dietary recommendations for adults with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis from the Medical Board of the National Psoriasis Foundation. Evidence Review We used literature from prior systematic reviews as well as additional primary literature from the MEDLINE database from January 1, 2014, to August 31, 2017, that evaluated the impact of diet on psoriasis. We included observational and interventional studies of patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for observational studies and the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool for interventional studies. We made evidence-based dietary recommendations, which were voted on by the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board. Findings We identified 55 studies meeting the inclusion criteria for this review. These studies represent 77 557 unique participants of which 4534 have psoriasis. Based on the literature, we strongly recommend dietary weight reduction with a hypocaloric diet in overweight and obese patients with psoriasis. We weakly recommend a gluten-free diet only in patients who test positive for serologic markers of gluten sensitivity. Based on low-quality data, select foods, nutrients, and dietary patterns may affect psoriasis. For patients with psoriatic arthritis, we weakly recommend vitamin D supplementation and dietary weight reduction with a hypocaloric diet in overweight and obese patients. Dietary interventions should always be used in conjunction with standard medical therapies for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Conclusions and Relevance Adults with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis can supplement their standard medical therapies with dietary interventions to reduce disease severity. These dietary recommendations from the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board will help guide clinicians regarding the utility of dietary interventions in adults with psoriatic diseases.

Abstract
Background There are limited randomized controlled trials of oral vitamin D supplementation in psoriasis, especially in Asia, and the results are inconclusive. Objective To investigate the clinical effect of oral vitamin D supplementation on psoriasis. Methods Patients with psoriasis were randomized to receive vitamin D2 60,000 IU or similar-looking placebo pills once every 2 weeks for 6 months. The primary outcome was improvement of the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at 3 and 6 months after treatment. Serum levels of 25(OH)D, calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, and C-reactive protein and adverse events were monitored. The chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Student's t-test, and Spearman's correlation analysis were used in statistical analysis. Results Of 50 subjects screened, 45 were eligible and randomized to the oral vitamin D2 group (n=23) or placebo group (n=22). At enrollment, the mean PASI score was 4.45, and 26.7% of patients had vitamin D deficiency. At 3 months, the oral vitamin D2 group had significantly higher PASI improvement than the placebo group (mean PASI improvement: 1.43 versus [vs.] -0.33, p-value=0.034; mean %PASI improvement: 34.21% vs. -1.85%, p-value=0.039). The mean serum 25(OH)D level was significantly higher in the oral vitamin D group than in the placebo group (27.4 vs. 22.4 ng/mL, p-value=0.029). Serum 25(OH)D concentrations were significantly inversely correlated with PASI scores at the 6-month follow-up. No major adverse event was observed overall. Conclusion Oral vitamin D2 supplementation in patients with psoriasis increased the serum vitamin D level and significantly improved the treatment outcome without increasing adverse events. Trial Registration This trial is registered with Thai Clinical Trials Registry TCTR20180613001.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to analyse the existing bibliographic production on clinical trials related to the use of vitamin D for oral treatment of psoriasis. METHOD A literature review of clinical trials related to the use of vitamin D for oral treatment of psoriasis, published in the LILACS, Scielo, Medline, PubMed and Cochrane Library from 1986 to 2013. The search included the following terms: "Psoriasis and oral Vitamin D"; "psoríase e vitamina D oral". RESULTS After analysing the titles and summaries, 10 articles met the eligibility criteria. DISCUSSION According to the literature, most tests were made in moderate psoriasis with doses ranging from 0.25 to 2μg, demonstrating improvement with this treatment modality. Some studies suggest the use of high doses, but the biggest concern is hypercalciuria as a side effect. CONCLUSION The use of active metabolites of vitamin D orally for the treatment of psoriasis showed efficacy and safety.

Abstract
PURPOSE The management of psoriasis remains a challenge for dermatologist and patient. This study aimed to determine whether vitamin D3 supplementation improves psoriasis compared to placebo. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a randomized, doubled-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 101 participants ≥18 years with psoriasis were grouped by severity and allocated to 100,000 International Units (IU) vitamin D3/month for 12 months (200,000 IU at baseline; n = 67) or an identical placebo (n = 34). Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and serum 25(OH)D concentrations were assessed at 3-monthly intervals. The primary outcome was the difference in PASI between groups over time. The relationship between 25(OH)D and PASI across the sample was also considered in a post hoc analysis. RESULTS PASI did not differ between groups at any time (group F(1, 104) = 0.48, p = .49; group*time F(4, 384) = 0.26, p = .90). However, 25(OH)D increased in both groups, rendering these findings inconclusive. A significant inverse relationship existed between PASI and 25(OH)D, with elevation of 25(OH)D by up to 125 nmol/L associated with mild decreases in PASI (estimated range of decrease 0-2.6; p = .002). CONCLUSIONS A direct benefit of vitamin D3 supplementation for psoriasis could not be determined. However, these findings suggest a relationship between 25(OH)D and psoriasis severity, at least in some subgroups. Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry #12611000648921.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on psoriasis from a community-dwelling population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants with psoriasis in a large randomized controlled trial examining the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation (100,000 IU monthly) in adults aged 50-84 years were invited to participate in a psoriasis sub-study over 12 months. The primary outcome was the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and secondary outcomes were Physicians Global Assessment (PGA), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and Psoriasis Disability Index (PDI). Trial identification number ACTRN12611000402943. RESULTS Twenty-three were allocated to vitamin D and 42 to placebo. There was no significant difference at baseline between the two groups. Mean (SD) baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D was 65.7 (25.7) nmol/L. There were no significant differences (p > .05) between the groups in all of the psoriasis outcome measures. Mean scores [95% CI] at 12 months for the Placebo versus Vitamin D groups: PASI 2.2 [1.4, 3.0] versus 2.1 [1.0, 3.2]; PGA 1.4 [1.1, 1.7] versus 1.5 [1.1, 1.9]; PDI 2.1 [0.9, 3.2] versus 1.9 [0.4, 3.4]; and DLQI 2.5 [1.4, 3.6] versus 2.0 [0.5, 3.4]. CONCLUSION Vitamin D3 supplementation (100,000 IU per month) is not recommended as a treatment for mild psoriasis.

The relevance of serum vitamin D in psoriasis: a review. Arch Dermatol Res 2017; 309:499-517.

Abstract
Observational research has identified low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) in many non-skeletal diseases. Whether this is causal or due to underlying illness is unknown. Low serum 25[OH]D levels are also reported in the general population. Observational and experimental studies identify that vitamin D supplementation may be beneficial in reducing all-cause mortality in elderly women, as well as cancer mortality. Our aim was to review the literature to identify the relevance of serum 25[OH]D levels in psoriasis. Forty-five studies were included in our analysis. Most of these studies identified low serum 25[OH]D levels in psoriasis patients. Evidence of causality is lacking. Treatment with phototherapy leads to an increase in serum 25[OH]D. There is little evidence that the increase in 25[OH]D after phototherapy correlates with improved disease severity. Multiple studies report an improvement in psoriasis with vitamin D supplementation. These data are predominantly from small observational or non-randomised interventional studies. Randomised controlled trials to date have had small numbers and short follow-up periods. The optimal dose of supplementation is unknown and dosing is not standardised across different studies. The definition of vitamin D insufficiency varies across studies. Low serum 25[OH]D levels may be associated with comorbidities in psoriasis patients, including metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk. Evidence of causation is absent. Until further high-quality evidence is available, the relevance of low serum 25[OH]D levels in psoriasis patients is unknown, as is the benefit of supplementation on disease control. Supplementation in patients with low 25[OH]D is of benefit to those at risk of impaired bone health.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psoriasis patients demonstrate high interest in the role of diet on their skin condition. However, data are lacking to describe dietary interventions among psoriasis patients and associated outcomes. This study aims to identify common dietary habits, interventions and perceptions among patients with psoriasis, and to examine patient-reported skin outcomes in response to these interventions. METHODS We administered a 61-question survey to the National Psoriasis Foundation membership asking psoriasis patients about dietary habits, modifications, skin responses, and perceptions. RESULTS A total of 1206 psoriasis patients responded to the survey. Compared to age- and sex-matched controls, psoriasis patients consumed significantly less sugar, whole grain fiber, dairy, and calcium (p < 0.001), while consuming more fruits, vegetables, and legumes (p < 0.01). Eighty-six percent of respondents reported use of a dietary modification. The percentage of patients reporting skin improvement was greatest after reducing alcohol (53.8%), gluten (53.4%), nightshades (52.1%), and after adding fish oil/omega-3 (44.6%), vegetables (42.5%), and oral vitamin D (41%). Specific diets with the most patients reporting a favorable skin response were Pagano (72.2%), vegan (70%), and Paleolithic (68.9%). Additionally, 41.8% of psoriasis respondents reported that a motivation for attempting dietary changes was to improve overall health. CONCLUSION This national survey is among the first to report the dietary behaviors of patients with psoriasis. The data provided from this large cohort may benefit patients and clinicians as they discuss the role of diet in managing both psoriasis and associated cardiometabolic comorbidities.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis, a chronic skin disease with or without joint inflammation, has increased circulating proinflammatory cytokine levels. Vitamin D is involved in calcium homeostasis, bone formation, osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast activity, as well as regulation of immune response. We aimed to study osteoclast differentiation and cytokine secretion of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis, in response to 1,25(OH)2D3. Methods Serum levels of bone turnover markers were measured by ELISA in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis, and healthy controls. PBMCs were isolated and cultured with or without RANKL/M-CSF and 1,25(OH)2D3. Osteoclast differentiation and cytokine secretion were assessed. Results Psoriatic arthritis patients had lower osteocalcin, as well as higher C-telopeptide of type I collagen and cathepsin K serum levels compared with psoriasis vulgaris patients and controls. RANKL/M-CSF-stimulated PBMCs from psoriatic arthritis patients produced higher proinflammatory cytokine levels and had a differential secretion profile in response to 1,25(OH)2D3, compared with psoriasis vulgaris and control PBMCs. Conclusions Our data confirmed altered bone turnover in psoriatic arthritis patients, and demonstrated increased osteoclastogenic potential and proinflammatory cytokine secretion capacity of these PBMCs compared with psoriasis vulgaris and controls. 1,25(OH)2D3 abrogated these effects.

Abstract
The roles of dietary factors in aggravating, preventing, or treating skin diseases are common questions encountered in dermatology practice. Part II of this two-part series reviews dietary modifications that can potentially be utilized in the management of melanoma, chronic urticaria, and psoriasis patients. Specifically, we examine the effect of alcohol consumption and supplementation with vitamins D and E, polyunsaturated fatty acids, selenium, green tea, resveratrol, and lycopene on melanoma risk. The relationships between chronic urticaria symptoms and dietary pseudoallergens, gluten, and vitamin D are analyzed. We explore weight loss, reduced alcohol consumption, and gluten avoidance as means of reducing psoriasis-associated morbidity, as well as the possible utility of supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids, folic acid, vitamin D, and antioxidants. With proper knowledge of the role of diet in these cutaneous disease processes, dermatologists can better answer patient inquiries and consider implementation of dietary modifications as adjuncts to other treatments and preventative measures.

Abstract
Patients with psoriasis are increasingly turning to the use of alternative and complementary medicine to manage their psoriasis. Patients often inquire about what dietary supplements may be beneficial, including the use of oral vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids in fish oils. In this review we examine the extent to which each of these common nutritional interventions has been studied for the treatment of psoriasis. We weighed evidence from both controlled and uncontrolled prospective trials. The evidence of benefit was highest for fish oils. For other supplements, there is need for additional large, randomized clinical trials to establish evidence of efficacy.

Abstract
Vitamin D as a topical treatment has become one of the mainstays for treatment of psoriasis vulgaris. Oral vitamin D on the other hand has for the most part become a forgotten option. But a review of the literature on oral vitamin D as a treatment for psoriasis reveals that this treatment is efficacious. The main side effect of this therapy is hypercalcemia, which appears to be easily monitored and avoidable with proper dosing and monitoring. The literature also suggests a correlation between low levels of serum vitamin D in this patient population associated with increased severity of disease involvement. In addition, oral vitamin D improves psoriatic arthropathy. Moreover, vitamin D has been proven to have many health benefits such as prevention of cancer, improved cardiovascular health among many others. Psoriatic patients as a population are at increased risk of developing adverse health complications such as cardiovascular disease, and oral vitamin D may prove to be of benefit in this population. Oral vitamin D is inexpensive and easily available. It is still a viable option and should not be forgotten as a possible treatment for psoriasis.

Abstract
Psoriasis is one of the most common skin disorders affecting approximately 2% of the population; the disease is recurrent and can be very debilitating. The cause of psoriasis is unknown, although it appears to be an autoimmune disease with a genetic component to its aetiology. Past topical treatments such as emollients, coal tar and dithranol have been messy, cosmetically unacceptable or of low efficacy, while older systemic therapies have suffered from significant side effects. Newer drugs with better therapeutic indexes and new antiproliferative/immunomodulatory therapies based on an increased understanding of the origins of psoriasis have brought us closer to the goal of safely and efficaciously treating the disease. This review will cover the newest topical and systemic drugs currently in use, in clinical trials or preclinical development.

Abstract
Fibroblast cultures were established from the skin of normal and psoriatic subjects. The response to 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] of each kind of cells was assessed by measuring tritiated thymidine incorporation into DNA as an index of cell proliferation. We found that both types of cells responded with a similar dose- and time-dependent inhibition of thymidine incorporation. We also studied the response of the mRNA encoding the proto-oncogene c-myc, since its level is associated to the proliferative state in many cell types. Psoriatic fibroblasts contained higher basal amounts of c-myc RNA than control fibroblasts. Addition of 1,25-(OH)2D3 to the culture medium induced a time-dependent increase of c-myc RNA in psoriatic fibroblasts but not in controls. As a control, retinoic acid had no effect in any of the two cell types. It is concluded that in primary normal human fibroblasts, c-myc RNA levels are not correlated with the proliferative state, and that there is an altered expression of this proto-oncogene in psoriasis.

Abstract
Topical vitamin D analogues offer a new, effective, more convenient and generally well-tolerated option for the treatment of psoriasis. Only psoriasis vulgaris has been intensively studied, but other forms of the disease may also respond. Both calcitriol and calcipotriol have been shown to be effective in numerous clinical trials, and the latter has compared well with betamethasone valerate and short-contact dithranol in controlled studies. Their mechanism of action is not yet fully understood and may prove complex. The most important effect may be a direct regulation of keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. However, these compounds also have potent immunological properties, and may act by inhibition of cytokine production by keratinocytes or lymphocytes. Topical application of vitamin D analogues appears generally to be remarkably safe, but hypercalcaemia and hypercalciuria may develop if large quantities are used.

Abstract
Chronic plaque psoriasis is by far the most frequent form of the disease and is usually amenable to home treatment. The therapeutic armamentarium for self-treatment of psoriasis has, until recently, been limited to emollients, tar, dithranol and topical corticosteroids. Although limited progress has been made in improving formulations and treatment regimes for these compounds, they still have significant drawbacks in terms of either unwanted effects or cosmetic acceptability. Topical vitamin D analogues offer a new, effective, convenient and safe option for self-treatment of psoriasis. Most research has been performed on calcipotriol. This has compared well to beta-methasone valerate and short-contact dithranol in controlled studies. Skin irritation is frequently noticed by patients, but rarely requires treatment to be discontinued. The mechanism of action appears most likely to be a direct regulation of keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. Calcipotriol has relatively little effect on calcium metabolism and appears to be safe when used according to established guidelines but hypercalcaemia may develop if excessive quantities are used.

Abstract
Psoriatic arthritis develops in 5% of patients with cutaneous psoriasis. Management is similar to that of other chronic inflammatory joint diseases, and the characteristic features of psoriatic arthritis should be considered: the disease is usually mild, with unpredictable flares and remissions, and skin disease is a concomitant feature. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents are the mainstay of therapy and usually provide adequate control. Among long-term treatments, parenteral gold salts, methotrexate, and azathioprine have been shown to be effective. Retinoids are often used in patients with extensive skin lesions. Other treatments are currently being evaluated (auranofin, colchicine, D-penicillamine, sulfasalazine, cyclosporine, and gamma-interferon). Antimalarials are difficult to handle and may cause progression of skin lesions. Topical treatments are indicated in every case. Indications depend on the specific features of psoriatic arthritis, the clinical pattern, and the severity of the condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Topical vitamin D analogues have been reported to be an effective treatment in patients with psoriasis. Comparative studies with existing treatments are required. OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to compare the effectiveness of calcipotriol (50 micrograms/gm) and betamethasone 17-valerate (1 mg/gm) ointments twice daily in the treatment of stable plaque psoriasis. METHODS This study was a randomized, double-blind comparison over 6 weeks in 409 patients. Efficacy, as measured by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), and safety were assessed at 2, 4, and 6 weeks. RESULTS Reduction of PASI was statistically significant at all time points for both treatments but there were no significant between-treatment differences. At the completion of 6 weeks of treatment, the mean PASI reduction was 5.50 for calcipotriol and 5.32 for betamethasone (95% confidence interval [CI] -0.40 to 0.78). Analysis of patient assessment at 6 weeks showed clearance or marked improvement in 61.2% of the calcipotriol patients and 50.5% with betamethasone (95% CI 1.4 to 20.8). Calcipotriol produced significantly more local side effects (19.5% compared with 3.9%, p less than 0.001); however, these were minimal leading to withdrawal in only 3 of 205 patients. CONCLUSION Calcipotriol ointment was as effective as betamethasone 17-valerate ointment as measured by the PASI and superior as measured by self-assessment in patients with stable plaque psoriasis. Both treatments were well tolerated.

Abstract
To demonstrate an as yet merely postulated generalized osteopathy in psoriatics, the serum calcium level, the alkaline phosphatase in the serum and the urinary excretion of hydroxyproline were evaluated in 24 patients with Ps and 24 patients with PA. Moreover, the bone bioptates from 25 patients with PA and 10 patients with Ps were examined histologically and measured morphometrically. The investigations provide evidence for the existence of a generalized "latent" osteopathy in terms of an elevated bone turnover rate without loss of bone volume (high turnover remodelling) in both patients with PA as well as those with Ps without arthritis. As a pathogenetically essential factor shared by dermatosis and "osteopathy", latent vitamin D deficiency and/or D hormone resistance is discussed.

Abstract
The present work compared the clinical efficacy of topically applied 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3) in 16 cases with psoriasis vulgaris, 5 with ichthyosis vulgaris and 8 with X-linked ichthyosis. Sixty-nine percent of the psoriatic cases responded to 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 therapy, whereas no ichthyotic patients responded. The present study confirms the previously suggested effectiveness of the active form of vitamin D3 for psoriasis and denies its possible efficiency against the ichthyoses. Direct suppression of hyperproliferative activity of the psoriatic epidermis is considered one of the most plausible mechanisms of 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 efficacy, through examination of the aforementioned evidence.

Abstract
We conducted a 6-month open-label trial in which 10 patients with active psoriatic arthritis received 2 micrograms of oral 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 daily. Statistically significant improvement was noted in the tender joint count and physician global impression. Of these 10 patients, 4 had substantial (greater than or equal to 50%) improvement, and 3 had moderate (greater than or equal to 25%) improvement in the tender joint count. Two patients were unable to receive therapeutic doses because of hypercalciuria. High-dose vitamin D may be a useful therapeutic agent for psoriatic arthritis.

Abstract
MC903 is a novel analogue of 1,25(OH)2D3 which exhibits similar inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and like, 1,25(OH)2D3, stimulates synthesis of osteoblast specific proteins by osteoblast-like cells in vitro. It is less active than 1,25(OH)2D3 in causing hypercalcemia in vivo. Since 1,25(OH)2D3 is known to stimulate bone resorption and increase the number of osteoclasts in several systems (in vivo and in vitro) we examined the effects of MC903 on the formation of osteoclast-like cells in vitro. As reported previously 1,25(OH)2D3 promoted the formation of multinucleated cells with phenotypic and functional characteristics of osteoclasts from adult human bone-marrow cultures at concentrations between 10(-8)M to 10(-12)M. Higher doses consistently suppressed multinucleated cell formation to values seen in the absence of 1,25(OH)2D3. Cells cultured in the presence of MC903 or for three weeks consistently induced the formation of multinucleated cells at concentrations 10(-8)M to 10(-12)M. As seen with 1,25(OH)2D3, MC903 also inhibited multinucleated cell formation at very high concentrations (10(-6)M). In two separate experiments MC903 appeared to be more potent than 1,25(OH)2D3 at lower concentrations (10(-10)M - 10(-12)M). From this study we conclude that MC903 is at least as potent as 1,25(OH)2D3 in inducing the formation human osteoclast-like cells in vitro. The decreased ability of MC903 to induce hypercalcemia in vivo is not therefore a result of a less marked effect than 1,25(OH)2D3 on the regulation of osteoclast formation.

Abstract
The effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) on the growth and DNA synthesis of cultured human keratinocytes obtained from involved and uninvolved psoriatic epidermis and normal epidermis were studied. Treatment with 10(-8) M and 10(-7) M of 1,25(OH)2D3 inhibited cell growth as follows: 58.5 +/- 19.3% and 21.3 +/- 13.6% in normal keratinocytes (n = 6); 43.8 +/- 22.8% and 17.8 +/- 12.3% in psoriatic uninvolved keratinocytes (n = 4); 51.7 +/- 18.2% and 13.2 +/- 6.4% in psoriatic involved keratinocytes (n = 6). Inhibition was virtually complete at 10(-6) M. DNA synthesis was also inhibited by 10(-8) M, 10(-7) M and 10(-6) M of 1,25(OH)2D3 as follows: 70.0 +/- 8.3%, 59.0 +/- 6.8% and 16.7 +/- 4.0%, respectively, in normal keratinocytes (n = 3); 78.5 +/- 13.5%, 51.5 +/- 25.5% and 24.5 +/- 21.5%, respectively, in psoriatic uninvolved keratinocytes (n = 2); and 69.3 +/- 14.5%, 41.3 +/- 19.1% and 14.8 +/- 11.2%, respectively, in psoriatic involved keratinocytes (n = 4). These results indicate that 1,25(OH)2D3 functions as a growth inhibitor for cultured human keratinocytes derived from both normal and psoriatic skin.

Abstract
The effect of 1,24R-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,24R(OH)2D3), a synthetic analogue of a biologically active form of vitamin D3 (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 1,25(OH)2D3), on the growth of human keratinocytes cultured in serum-free medium was investigated. The growth of cultured normal human keratinocytes was inhibited by 65% by 10(-8)M 1,24R(OH)2D3 and by 90% by 10(-7)M 1,24(OH)2D3. It inhibited cell growth almost completely at 10(-6)M. The DNA synthesis of keratinocytes was also inhibited with 1,24R(OH)2D3 by 27% at 10(-8)M, 59% at 10(-7)M, and 92% at 10(-6)M. The inhibition of cell growth and DNA synthesis were more remarkable by 1,24R(OH)2D3 than by 1,25(OH)2D3. 1,24R(OH)2D3 also inhibited the growth of keratinocytes derived from patients with psoriasis vulgaris; the growth inhibitory effect was again more remarkable with 1,24R(OH)2D3 than with 1,25(OH)2D3. The viability and protein synthesis of keratinocytes were not affected by 1,24R(OH)2D3, suggesting that the growth inhibitory effect is due to its biological activity, not to cytotoxicity. The binding of [3H]-labeled 1,25(OH)2D3 to its receptor in the cytosolic fraction of cultured keratinocytes was competitively substituted by unlabeled 1,24R(OH)2D3 as well as 1,25(OH)2D3, suggesting that 1,24R(OH)2D3 binds to the 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor. It was found that the affinity of 1,24R(OH)2D3 for the receptor was slightly higher than that of 1,25(OH)2D3. These results demonstrate that 1,24R(OH)2D3 functions as a potent growth inhibitor in vitro in human keratinocytes from both normal and psoriatic epidermis, and it possesses a higher affinity for the 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor in cultured human keratinocytes. The difference in affinity of 1,24R(OH)2D3 for the 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor correlates with its greater inhibition of keratinocyte growth than 1,25(OH)2D3. 1,24R(OH)2D3 may be useful in the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
MC-903 is a novel vitamin D analogue which has been shown to promote epidermal cell differentiation but is 100 times less active than 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D) in causing hypercalcemia. In order to determine the activity of this compound on bone cells, we have compared the effects of MC-903 and 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D) on parameters of cell proliferation and differentiation in cultured normal human osteoblastic cells derived by migration from trabecular bone fragments. Dose response curves showed that MC-903 was 10 to 100 times less effective than 1,25(OH)2D in stimulating the synthesis of the osteoblast specific protein osteocalcin by human bone cells depending on the basal osteocalcin production. In cells showing high basal osteocalcin synthesis, 1,25(OH)2D (10(-8) M) was 2- to 3-fold more potent than MC-903 (10(-8) M) in inducing osteocalcin from 48 to 96 h of treatment. The greater activity of 1,25(OH)2D over MC-903 was observed in human bone cell cultures with elevated basal osteocalcin levels, indicating that the response to 1,25(OH)2D but not to MC-903 was amplified in cells with the higher osteoblastic characteristics. The effects of MC-903 and 1,25(OH)2D on alkaline phosphatase activity were not markedly different. Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF beta) (0.5 ng/mL, 48 h) was found to completely suppress the osteocalcin synthesis induced by 1,25(OH)2D (10(-8) and 10(-9) M), whereas the MC-903-induced osteocalcin synthesis was not affected, suggesting a negative interaction between TGF beta and 1,25(OH)2D but not MC-903 on osteocalcin synthesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Endogenous 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] in normal rat skin was identified by using thermal isomerization to convert the metabolite into its pre-isomer, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and displacement potency with a chick intestinal cytosol receptor. When the metabolite in normal rat skin was determined by a radioreceptor assay after purification by Sep-Pak silica cartridge column chromatography and HPLC, the concentration was 71.0 +/- 6.6 pg/g of wet tissue (mean +/- S.D.). It is also shown that [3H]-1,25-(OH)2D3 and [3H]-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 administered intravenously in the mouse are located in the skin. These results suggest that the metabolite may play an important role in the skin.

Abstract
MC 903 is a novel vitamin D analogue which has been tested for its effects on cell differentiation and cell proliferation in vitro using the human histiocytic lymphoma cell line U937, and on calcium metabolism in rats in vivo. In the present investigation MC 903 was compared to the natural metabolite of vitamin D3, 1 alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1,25(OH)2D3] and to its synthetic analogue 1 alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol [1 alpha (OH)D3]. MC 903 was found to be a potent inducer of cell differentiation and to inhibit cell proliferation and DNA-synthesis in concentrations comparable to those observed with 1,25(OH)2D3. 1 alpha (OH)D3, which is only active after metabolic conversion to 1,25(OH)2D3, was more than 100 times less potent. Oral or intraperitoneal administration of MC 903 to rats showed that the compound was at least 100 times less active than 1,25(OH)2D3 and 1 alpha (OH)D3 in causing hypercalciuria, hypercalcemia and bone calcium mobilisation. The low vitamin D activity of MC 903 was further confirmed by administration of the compound to rachitic rats. The strong direct effects of MC 903 on cell proliferation and cell differentiation, coupled with its decreased activity as a classical vitamin D makes this compound an interesting candidate for studies in human proliferative disorders such as psoriasis.
