Vitamin D is a secosteroidalprohormone, it can be synthesized at sufficient levels in skin, given adequate skin exposure to UV B radiation from sunlight.By directly controlling target gene expression through the Vitamin D receptor (VDR), a ligand-regulated transcription factor and member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, vitamin D modifies its biological effects. Vitamin D must undergo two hydroxylation steps in order to become the biologically active hormone 1,25-dyhydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], which communicates through the VDR, whether it is produced in the skin or consumed. In reaction to vitamin D, the hormone-bound VDR modifies target gene transcription. VDR controls autophagy's transcription at the master level. In breast cancer (BC) cells, vitamin D-activated VDR causes autophagy and an autophagic transcriptional signature.
Vitamin D comes in two different forms. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is produced in the skin and is found in oily fish and cod liver oil. Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is produced by irradiating yeast and the plant sterol ergosterol. Vitamin D stands for vitamins D2 and D3.
For the treatment of psoriasis, topical medications containing active vitamin D3 (calcitriol, 1,25-dihydroxyvitaminD3, VD3) analogues, such as Tacalcitol, Calcipotriol, and Maxacalcitol, are frequently utilized.
