The Distinct Regulation of the Vitamin D and Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptors in COVID-19
Nutrients 2024 Feb 22;16(5):598. doi: 10.3390/nu16050598.
Oliver Robak 1, Marie-Theres Kastner 1, Astrid Voill-Glaninger 2, André Viveiros 2, Christoph Steininger 1 3Background: SARS-CoV-2 affects several immune pathways, including the vitamin D (VDR) and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor pathways (AhR). The aim of the study was the evaluation of the VDR and AhR pathways in the blood of COVID-19 patients with regard to the severity of disease.
Methods: Observational, single-center, case-control design. A total of 240 samples were selected for exploration. Patients who tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 but suffered from other respiratory infections (ORIs) served as a control group.
Results: VDR-specific mRNA in the blood of patients with mild symptoms (131.2 ± 198.6) was significantly upregulated relative to the VDR expression of the ORI group (23.24 ± 42.60; p < 0.0001); however, VDR expression of critically ill patients showed an impaired upregulation (54.73 ± 68.34; p < 0.001). CYP27B1 expression was not significantly regulated during SARS-CoV-2 infection. There was a downregulation of VDR and CYP27B1 compared to survivors. There was no significant difference in 25(OH)-vitamin D3 levels between critically ill patients with regard to survival (24.3 ± 9.4 vs. 27.1 ± 11.3; p = 0.433).
Conclusion: The VDR and AhR pathways are distinctively regulated in patients suffering from COVID-19 depending on the severity of disease. A combination treatment of antiviral drugs and vitamin D substitution should be evaluated for potentially improved prognosis in COVID-19.

VitaminDWiki – CYP27B1 category contains
The CYP27B1 gene activates Vitamin D in the Kidney, Skin, Lungs, Brain, Eyes Breasts etc.
Poor CYP27B1 is assocated with COVID, Miscarriage, Lupus, Alz, Parkinson, MSA, RicketsCYtochrome P450 family 27 subfamily B member 1 = 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 1-alpha-hydroxylase
63 items in CYP27B1 category 344 articles in the Genetics 531 articles in Vitamin D Receptor 178 articles in Vitamin D Binding Protein - CYP27B1 and other genes are less activated in seniors
- CYP27B causes many health problems – March 2020
- Every Parkinson’s brain had a poor CYP27B1 gene
What can be done if have a poor CYP27B1
- Larger doses of Vitamin D
- More Bio-available: Gut-friendly form, Topical form, taken with fatty meal, taken with evening meal
- Additional sources: UV
- Increase Vitamin D metabolism: additional Magnesium, Omega-3
- All cytochrome P450 enzymes require Mg++ as a cofactor
- Increase the amount of Vitamin D in the blood that gets to cells: increase activation of VDR
Vitamin D blood test misses CYP27B1 and other genes
Note: COVID protects itself by downregulating VDR and CYP27B1 (and 100+ genes)
Both downregulations reduce Vitamin D in cells but NOT the Vitamin D measurement
