1 alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25(OH)2D3) inhibits the lymphocyte growth hormone, interleukin 2. Since its production is dependent upon interleukin 1 (IL-1) produced by antigen-presenting cells, we tested five vitamin D3 analogues for effects on the production and function of human natural and recombinant IL-1. The production was not affected, but 1,25(OH)2D3 (greater than 10(-11) M) and a synthetic derivative MC 903 (greater than = 10(-10) M) inhibited the proliferation of mouse thymocytes to IL-1. The vitamins failed to affect the cytotoxic activity of tumor necrosis factor. 1,25(OH)2D3 may play a physiological immunomodulatory role as a selective inhibitor of the function of IL-1, and MC 903 may prove clinically useful in this regard because of its limited calcium metabolic activity.
