Biochem/physiol Actions

Agonist for the calcitriol (Vitamin D receptor); Vitamin D analog; Antihyperparathyroid.

Paricalcitol is Vitamin D analog that acts as an agonist for the calcitriol receptor (Vitamin D receptor, VDR). It suppresses parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene transcription and PTH secretion and has been used clinically because of its antihyperparathyroid activity without inducing hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia. There is growing evidence that vitamin D either directly or indirectly affects cardiac structure and function. Paricalcitol showed improvement of cardiac function after myocardial infarction in mice with decreases in biomarkers, apoptosis, inflammation, and fibrosis.

MicroRNA-27a/b are small non-coding RNAs which are reported to regulate inflammatory response and cell proliferation. Although some studies have demonstrated that miR-27b is down-regulated in the oral specimens of patients suffering with oral lichen planus (OLP), the molecular mechanism of

Vitamin D and its analogs have been suggested to have palliative effects in the cardiovascular system. We have examined the effects of co-administration of the vitamin D receptor agonist, paricalcitol, on the hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis produced by

Accumulating evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency plays a crucial role in heart failure. However, whether vitamin D signaling itself plays an important role in cardioprotection is poorly understood. In this study, we examined the mechanism of modulating vitamin D
