Vitamin D Receptor Deletion Leads to the Destruction of Tight and Adherens Junctions in Lungs
Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to various inflammatory diseases in lungs, including pneumonia, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, the mechanisms by which vitamin D and vitamin D receptor reduce inflammation in lung diseases remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the expression and cell-specific distribution of tight and adherens junctions in the lungs of vitamin D receptor-deficient (VDR-/-) mice....
