Objective: Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) development. Vitamin D may involve in pathogen recognition through Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 in immune cells in saliva. This study aimed to determine the correlation between serum vitamin D/25(OH)D and TLR2 expression of immune cells in the saliva of SLE. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study conducted at the the SLE patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Those who had signed informed consent involved to underwent unstimulated saliva collection and blood samples for TLR2 and vitamin D/25(OH)D examination. The correlation between serum vitamin D/25(OH)D concentration and salivary TLR2 expression was analyzed using the correlation test, linear regression with 95% confidence level. Results: Thirty SLE patients had a mean serum vitamin D/25(OH)D concentration of 9.98 ± 4.64 ng/ml. The mean of TLR2 expression of CD11b+ cells in saliva was 26.03 ± 20.92%. There was a significant positive correlation between serum vitamin D/25(OH)D concentration and TLR 2 expression of CD11b+ cells in the saliva. (r = 0.434; P < 0.05). Vitamin D/25(OH)D was the only predictor for TLR 2 expression. Conclusion: Serum vitamin D/25(OH)D concentrations associated with TLR2 expression of CD11b+ cells in the saliva of SLE.

BackgroundLow serum vitamin D concentrations have been reported in several autoimmune disorders.ObjectiveTo assess whether low serum vitamin D concentrations are related to disease activity of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods378 patients from several European and Israeli cohorts were pooled and their disease activity was measured by two different methods: 278 patients had SLE disease activity-2000 (SLEDAI-2K) scores and 100 patients had European Consensus Lupus Activity Measurement (ECLAM) scores. In order to combine the two systems the scores were converted into standardised values (z-scores), enabling univariate summary statistics for the two variables (SLEDAI-2K and ECLAM). The commercial kit, LIAISON 25-OH vitamin D assay (310900-Diasorin) was used to measure serum concentration of 25-OH vitamin D in 378 patients with SLE.ResultsA significant negative correlation was demonstrated between the serum concentration of vitamin D and the standardised values (z-scores) of disease activity scores as measured by the SLEDAI-2K and ECLAM scales (Pearson's correlation coefficient r=−0.12, p=0.018).ConclusionsIn a cohort of patients with SLE originating from Israel and Europe vitamin D serum concentrations were found to be inversely related to disease activity.

BACKGROUND: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder mediated by inflammatory cytokines. Decreasing vitamin D levels is a common feature in SLE patients. Vitamin D has the capacity in suppressing inflammatory cascade. Seluang fish (Rasbora spp.) contained a high level of vitamin D with the potential as a new therapeutic modality. AIM: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of Seluang fish oil against proinflammatory cytokines, vitamin D levels, and clinical conditions of SLE. METHODS: A randomised, double-blind, clinical trial study design was conducted. The subjects were 16 SLE subjects treated with 500uL Seluang fish oil capsules and 16 SLE subjects with placebo capsules. Measurement of vitamin D, IL-1, IL-6 and IL-17 levels were performed with ELISA. Clinical assessment of SLE was performed with MEX-SLEDAI. Bivariate analysis, T-test, was performed. Data were presented in the form of mean ± SD. RESULTS: The administration of Seluang fish oil was clinically able to show efficacy assessed by the MEX SLEDAI score. Significant results were also shown by increased vitamin D levels and reduced levels of IL-1, IL-6 and IL-17, in Seluang fish oil group. CONCLUSION: Seluang fish oil possessed the efficacy of reducing the inflammatory response in SLE patients by increasing serum vitamin D levels.

Background: Effect of additional supplementation of vitamin D toward Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease activity still differ in results obtained between studies being conducted. The current meta-analysis systematically analyzed the effect of vitamin D supplementation on SLE disease activity with updated literature, also its effect toward other parameters. Material and Methods: Relevant literatures were obtained from PubMed database and Google Scholar. The obtained studies were analyzed using fixed effect model or random effect model. Results: Five eligible studies with a total of 318 participants were included. Vitamin D supplementation did not affect the total SLEDAI score in SLE patients with pooled mean difference of -0.96 (p =0.09; 95% CI: -2.06 to 0.14). Serum vitamin D level increased after administration of vitamin D with pooled mean difference of 12.67 (p =0.001; 95% CI: 5.04 to 20.29). vitamin D supplementation increase serum calcium levels, with pooled difference of 0.07 (p = 0.006; 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.12). Pooled results from two studies obtained vitamin D supplementation did not affect ESR, C3 and C4. Conclusions: Current meta-analysis obtained no significant changes in SLEDAI scores due to vitamin D supplementation. In contrast, serum vitamin D and serum calcium levels were increased.
