摘要

Dengue is the most important mosquito-borne viral infection in humans. Recent evidence suggests that vitamin D influences virus replication. In this work, the effect of vitamin D treatment on dengue virus infection in human hepatic Huh-7 cells and on virus infection and cytokine production in the human monocytic U937 cells was evaluated. Exposure to 1伪,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3, resulted in a significant reduction in the number of infected cells, in conditions where cell viability was not affected. Viral replication in monocytic cells was more susceptible to vitamin D3 than replication in the hepatic cells. Moreover, vitamin D3 significantly reduced the levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-伪, IL-6, IL-12p70 and IL-1尾) produced by infected U937 cells. These results suggest that vitamin D3 may represent a potentially useful antiviral compound.
