Effects of Combination of 1,25(OH) D and TLR-4 Inhibitor on the Damage to HaCaT Cells Caused by UVB Irradiation.

Objective: Vitamin D and Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) inhibition are involved in the protection of keratinocytes. The effects of combination of 1,25(OH) D and TLR-4 inhibitor on the protection of keratinocytes against ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) irradiation remain unclear. This study was undertaken to explore the effects of combination of 1,25(OH) D and TAK-242 (TLR-4 inhibitor) on the damage to HaCaT cells caused by UVB irradiation.
