We previously reported that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 [1,25(OH) 2 D 3 ] protects primary human keratinocytes against ultraviolet (UV)B-induced apoptosis. Here, we confirmed the anti-apoptotic effect of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 in keratinocytes, using cisplatin and doxorubicin as apoptotic triggers. We further

The skin fulfills an important role in the vitamin D photo-endocrine system. Epidermis is not only the site of vitamin D 3 photoproduction. In addition, epidermal keratinocytes contain the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and possess 25-hydroxylase and 1a-hydroxylase activity indicating that all components
## Abstract Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), through either endogenous or exogenous sources, could induce DNA damage, and accumulation of DNA damage might lead to multistep carcinogenesis. The antioxidative effects of vitamin D have been suggested by epidemiological and many __in vi
The hormone I ,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD) has a potential use as an anti-tumor agent, but its clinical applications are restricted by its strong calcemic activity. This has led to the development of VD analogues with selectively increased growthinhibitory activity. One of the most potent analogues
