Vitamin D has become increasingly recognized in the literature for its extra-skeletal roles, including an effect on inflammation and the immune response to infection. Our goal was to describe the role of vitamin D in the immune response and implications for the risk of influenza infection in humans. In this review, we first consider literature that provides molecular and genetic support to the idea that vitamin D is related to the adaptive and innate immune responses to influenza infection in vitro and in animal models. We then discuss observational studies and randomized controlled trials of vitamin D supplementation in humans. Finally, we consider some of the knowledge gaps surrounding vitamin D and immune response that must be filled.
维生素 D 在文献中因其骨骼外作用而越来越受到关注,包括对炎症和感染的免疫反应的影响。我们的目标是描述维生素 D 在免疫反应中的作用及其对人类流感感染风险的影响。在这篇综述中,我们首先考虑了提供分子和遗传支持的文献,这些文献表明维生素 D 与体外和动物模型中流感感染的适应性和固有免疫反应有关。然后,我们讨论了维生素 D 补充在人类中的观察性研究和随机对照试验。最后,我们考虑了一些围绕维生素 D 和免疫反应的知识空白,这些空白必须填补。
