A simple and sensitive method to detect vitamin D receptor expression in various disease models using stool samples
摘要
Abstract
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) executes the main biological functions of its ligand vitamin D. VDR/vitamin D plays critical roles in regulating host immunity
maintaining barrier functions
and shaping gut microbiome. Reduction of intestinal VDR has been reported in various diseases
including inflammatory diseases and colon cancer. However
it is always challenging to get biopsies to test the pathologic changes of VDR in intestine. In the current study
we reported a simple and sensitive quantitative PCR (qPCR) method to detect reduction of intestinal VDR using fecal samples. We validated this method in several experimental models
such as colitis
bacterial infection
and aging. We further correlated the qPCR data of VDR with the protein level of VDR in colon or serum 25 (OH)D
3
in mice with different VDR status (VDR
+/+
VDR
+/-
and VDR
−/−
). Our data indicate that the qPCR method to test VDR using fecal samples could detect the expression level of intestinal VDR in various diseases. Our study highlights the feasibility
sensitivity
and simplicity of a molecular method to study the status of VDR as a biomarker.
