A. Relative expression of 2 IFNα inducible genes, Mx1 and Ifit1 in SLE patients with vitamin D deficiency (≤ 20ng/ml) and sufficiency (>20ng/ml). Relative expression of these genes was determined by RTPCR on PBMCs from clinically stable SLE patients. Expression of interferon inducible genes is higher in patients with SLE with low serum vitamin D (unpublished data Ben-Zvi, I). B. Relative expression of 3 IFNα inducible genes (Mx1, Ifi1 and Ifit44) before and after (+D3) supplementation with vitamin D3 in 3 SLE patients. Vitamin D supplementation reduces expression of IFNα inducible genes (unpublished data Ben-Zvi, I).
