“…At the cellular level, vitamin D exerts anti-inflammatory effects on immune cells that express the vitamin D receptor (VDR) such as monocytes, macrophages, and T lymphocytes, which in turn shapes the immune response during the onset of inflammation and infection and following vaccination. Vitamin D exerts anti-inflammatory effects by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines production from macrophages and T cells ( 12 , 13 ). Carlberg eloquently demonstrated that vitamin D/VDR signaling impacts chromatin modeling leading to significant modification of human monocytes epigenome during perturbation, consequently reducing cytokine release and modulating trained innate immunity.…”
