ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 on the permeability and ZO-1 expression in normal human airway epithelial cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>MTT assay was used to assess the viability of human airway epithelial cell line 16HBE following a 24-hour exposure to different concentrations of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3, and the transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) of the cell monolayer was measured using a Millicell-ERS voltohmmeter. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR was employed to determine the changes of ZO-1 mRNA expression in the cells following the exposures.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Exposure to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 resulted in significantly increased permeability of 16HBE cells, but the exspression of ZO-1 showed no obvious changes. 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 at 4×10(-9) mol/L showed the strongest effect in increasing the permeability of cell monolayer.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>25-hydroxyvitamin D3 increases the permeability of normal bronchial airway epithelial cell monolayer in vitro, but this effect is not mediated by upregulation of ZO-1 expression.</p>
