This study aimed to evaluate vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in patients with psoriasis and healthy controls and to study the effects of the Etanercept treatment on VDR expression on PBMCs in patients with psoriasis. Twenty patients with moderate to severe psoriasis received treatment with Etanercept for 24 weeks. The age- and sex-matched controls did not receive any intervention. VDR expression on CD3+ lymphocytes and CD14+ monocytes, and serum levels of total and free 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) were analyzed at baseline, after 10\u201312 weeks, and after 24 weeks in both groups. VDR expression was analyzed using flow cytometry. We observed higher expression of the VDR on CD14+ monocytes in psoriasis patients compared to healthy controls at baseline. This difference was no longer significant after 24 weeks of the Etanercept treatment. The patients with psoriasis improved clinically. However, VDR expression was unaltered during the Etanercept treatment, and there was no correlation between VDR expression and disease severity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms251910677","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,3]],"date-time":"2024-10-03T10:31:13Z","timestamp":1727951473000},"page":"10677","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The Expression of Vitamin D Receptor on Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Patients with Psoriasis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Azin Jasmin","family":"Zanghaneh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, V\u00e4stmanlands Sjukhus V\u00e4ster\u00e5s, 721 89 V\u00e4ster\u00e5s, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6349-2757","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Elmelid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, 413 45 Gothenburg, Sweden"},{"name":"Center for Clinical Research, Uppsala University, 791 82 Falun, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5033-5421","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Gillstedt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, 413 45 Gothenburg, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Region V\u00e4stra G\u00f6taland, 413 45 Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Omar","family":"Ahmic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Accident and Emergency Department, Northern \u00c4lvsborg County Hospital, 461 73 Trollh\u00e4ttan, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bengt","family":"Andersson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Immunology and Transfusion Medicine, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Region V\u00e4stra G\u00f6taland, 413 45 Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amra","family":"Osmancevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, 413 45 Gothenburg, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Region V\u00e4stra G\u00f6taland, 413 45 Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1945","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2020.4006","article-title":"Pathophysiology, Clinical Presentation, and Treatment of Psoriasis: A Review","volume":"323","author":"Armstrong","year":"2020","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bro\u017cyna, A.A., Slominski, R.M., Nedoszytko, B., Zmijewski, M.A., and Slominski, A.T.
