Protective Effect of 1,25-Dihydroxy Vitamin D3 on Pepsin–Trypsin-Resistant Gliadin-Induced Tight Junction Injuries

Authors:

Abstract
Tight junction (TJ) injuries induced by pepsin–trypsin-resistant gliadin (PT–G) play an important role in the pathogenesis of celiac disease. Previously, 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 (VD3) was reported to be a TJ regulator that attenuates lipopolysaccharide- and alcohol-induced TJ injuries. However, whether VD3 can attenuate PT–G-induced TJ injuries is unknown.
