A Modified Technique for Arteriovenous Fistula Construction in Rabbits

Juxta-anastomotic stenosis is a challenging problem that often causes non-maturation and decreases the patency of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Injury ...

The biological active form of vitamin D3, 1α,25-dehydroxyvitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)D], exerts pleiotropic effects including bone mineralization, anti-tumor, as well as immunomodulator. This study aimed to explore the potential impact of 1α,25(OH)D on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) infiltration in ovarian cancer. Firstly, human monocytic THP-1 cells were differentiated into macrophages (M0) in the presence of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). , 1α,25(OH)D not only reversed the polarization of M2 macrophages, but also decreased the proliferation and migration abilities of ovarian cancer cells induced by M2 macrophages supernatant. Furthermore, 1α,25(OH)D dramatically decreased the secretion of TGF-β1 and MMP-9 in M2 macrophages. However, no significant effect was observed in 1α,25(OH)D treated M1 macrophages. , vitamin D3 had an inhibitive effect of 1α,25(OH)D-treated M2 macrophages on tumorigenesis. In addition, we conducted the association of TAMs with the poor prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer by meta-analysis, which suggested the higher proportion of M2 macrophages was related to the poorer prognosis in ovarian cancer. Collectively, these results identified distinct roles of 1α,25(OH)D treated M1 and M2 macrophages on cell proliferation and migration abilities in ovarian cancer.
