Abhimanyu , Meyer V, Jones B, Bornman L
Cell Immunol . 2020 Apr; 352:104082. PMID: 32241530
Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2/1 signalling is linked to autophagy through transcriptional actions of the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)D)-vitamin D receptor (VDR) complex. Population-specific effects have been reported for TLR2/1-VDR signalling. We...

Immunogenetics . 2018 May; 70(8):523-532. PMID: 29808256
Caudal-type homeobox protein 2 (CDX-2) is an intestine-specific transcription factor (TF), with a polymorphic binding site (Cdx-2, rs11568820, A/G) in the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR). The molecular mechanism underlying...

Front Immunol . 2017 Sep; 8:1048. PMID: 28959253
Background: The disparity in prevalence of infectious diseases across the globe is common knowledge. Vitamin D receptor (VDR)-mediated toll-like receptor (TLR) 2/1 signaling produces antimicrobial peptides, which is critical as...

Int J Environ Res Public Health . 2016 Oct; 13(10). PMID: 27763570
In this review, reports were retrieved in which vitamin D status, as assessed by serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, was measured in South African population groups with varied skin colours...

Abhimanyu , Meyer V, Jeffery T, Bornman L
Lung . 2015 Aug; 193(6):975-84. PMID: 26307505
According to the World Health Organisation South Africa has the third highest tuberculosis (TB) incidence in the world, with an estimated 60 % incident cases having both TB and HIV....

Saccone D, Asani F, Bornman L
Gene . 2015 Feb; 561(2):171-80. PMID: 25682935
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) plays a pivotal role as a mediator of 1α,25(OH)2D signalling. Besides its role in calcium homeostasis, ligand- bound VDR supports immunity and cell cycle control....

Byth-Illing H, Bornman L
Cell Stress Chaperones . 2013 Aug; 19(2):193-203. PMID: 23943343
Host-pathogen interactions in plants are complex and potentially influenced by heat shock/stress (HS). Host HS proteins (HSPs) induced prior to bacterial exposure may facilitate the folding of newly synthesized defense...

O Neill V, Asani F, Jeffery T, Saccone D, Bornman L
PLoS One . 2013 Jun; 8(6):e67663. PMID: 23805323
Polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) have been associated inconsistently with various diseases, across populations of diverse origin. The T(f) allele of the functional SNP FokI, in exon...

Andraos C, Koorsen G, Knight J, Bornman L
Hum Immunol . 2010 Dec; 72(3):262-8. PMID: 21168462
The Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene encodes a transcription factor which, on activation by vitamin D, modulates diverse biologic processes, including calcium homeostasis and immune function. Genetic variation involving VDR...

Lombard Z, Dalton D, Venter P, Williams R, Bornman L
Hum Immunol . 2006 Aug; 67(8):643-54. PMID: 16916662
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II complex affect innate and/or adaptive immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1, and VDR gene (VDR) polymorphisms were...
