A similar reduction in IFN-γ transcript levels was observed in primary T-LGLL patient peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). p-STAT1 inhibition followed a similar temporal pattern and VDR upregulation inversely correlated with IFN-γ levels.
Calcitriol treatment of the TL-1 cell line (model of T-LGLL) led to decreased phospho-Y701 STAT1 and phospho-Y705 STAT3 and increased vitamin D receptor (VDR) levels.
