Vitamin D target genes Epigenome Transcriptome Immune system Personalized nutrition
Nutrigenomics attempts to characterize and integrate the relation between dietary molecules and gene expres­sion on a genome-wide level. One of the biologically active nutritional compounds is vitamin D3, which activates via its metabolite 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) the nuclear receptor VDR (vitamin D receptor). Vitamin D3 can be synthesized endogenously in our skin, but since we spend long times indoors and often live at higher latitudes where for many winter months UV-B radiation is too low, it became a true vitamin. The ligand- inducible transcription factor VDR is expressed in the majority of human tissues and cell types, where it mod­ulates the epigenome at thousands of genomic sites. In a tissue-specific fashion this results in the up- and downregulation of primary vitamin D target genes, some of which are involved in attenuating oxidative stress. Vitamin D affects a wide range of physiological functions including the control of metabolism, bone formation and immunity. In this review, we will discuss how the epigenome- and transcriptome-wide effects of 1,25 (OH)2D3 and its receptor VDR serve as a master example in nutrigenomics. In this context, we will outline the basis of a mechanistic understanding for personalized nutrition with vitamin D3.

  "Surprisingly, as little as five percent of cancerous cells are needed to form the tumors, a ratio previously unknown."
  “It’s that these cells go out and actively recruit. It’s complicated stuff, and it’s not passive. No one had a clue that there were specialized cells in this process, and that it’s a small number that pulls all the rest in.”
