1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [Calcitriol or 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] is an important active metabolite involved in multiple functions but its calcemic effect in vivo limits its therapeutic applications. On the other hand, 22-oxa-1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (22-oxacalcitriol or 22-Oxa-1 alpha,25-D(3)), a low calcemic analog of vitamin D3 (VitD3), has been widely used as a drug for the secondary hyperparathyroidism. Here, we investigated immunomodulating effect of these two VitD3 derivatives on the differentiation of type-1 immunoregulatory cells such as dendritic cells (DC1), cytotoxic T cells (Tc1) and helper T cells (Th1). BALB/c mouse bone marrow-derived DC (BMDC1) induced by culture with Th1 condition (GM-CSF, IL-3, IL-12 and IFN-gamma) expressed higher levels of MHC Class I and Class II molecules and co-stimulatory molecules compared with BMDC0 induced by neutral condition (GM-CSF+IL-3). In addition, BMDC1 showed stronger immunostimulating activity to induce alloantigen (H-2(d))-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) compared with BMDC0. However, if VitD3 derivatives were added into the culture for BMDC1 induction, the expression of functional molecules and type-1 IFNs were greatly inhibited. Moreover, VitD3 derivative-treated BMDC1 lost their immunostimulating activity to induce alloantigen-specific IFN-gamma-producing Tc1. In addition, it was demonstrated that the addition of VitD3 derivatives inhibited the differentiation of IFN-gamma-producing Th1 cells from ovalbumin (OVA)-specific naive Th cells, while it rather augmented the differentiation of IL-4- or IL-10-producing Th2 cells. There was no significant difference in immunomodulating activity between 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and 22-Oxa-1 alpha,25-D(3). Thus, VitD3 derivatives are demonstrated to inhibit the functional differentiation of DC1, Tc1 and Th1 cells, which play a critical role in type-1 cellular immune responses.
