It has been shown that the molecular mechanisms of glucocorticoid-induced neurotoxicity are realized through increased expression (protein content) of glucocorticoid (GR) receptors and nuclear factor NF-κB, which is a potent redox-sensitive transcription factor. Simultaneously with the increase in the level of NF-κB mRNA (Nf-κb mRNA), the protein content of its transcriptionally active subunit p65 NF-κB, phosphorylated by Ser 311, increased. The efficiency of transcriptional activity of NF-κB was enhanced due to a decrease in the level of κB inhibitor (IκB), which, when combined with NF-κB, blocks its activity. The neuroprotective properties of vitamin D3 in glucocorticoid-induced neurotoxicity have been demonstrated. In particular, prolonged administration of cholecalciferol on prednisolone inhibited the development of oxidative-nitrosative stress (decreased levels of 3-nitrotyrosine, poly- (ADP) -ribosylated proteins) and the intensity of apoptotic cell death (caspase-3). In the brain's GR-NF-κB / IκB system, vitamin D3 had a partially normalizing effect on NF-κB protein and mRNA content, indicating the ability of cholecalciferol to regulate NF-κB-associated processes and reduce glucocorticoid receptor expression in holocorticoid receptors.  Product Description popup.authors Lisakovska Olha O.
