Fibrous dysplasia (FD) poses a therapeutic challenge due to the dysregulated extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation within affected bone tissues. In this study, we investigate the therapeutic potential of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)D) in managing FD by examining its effects on FD-derived cells in vitro. Our findings demonstrate that 1,25(OH)D treatment attenuates the pro-fibrotic phenotype of FD-derived cells by suppressing the expression of key pro-fibrotic markers and inhibiting cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, 1,25(OH)D enhances mineralization by attenuating pre-osteoblastic cellular hyperactivity and promoting maturation towards an osteocytic phenotype. These results offer valuable insights into potential treatments for FD, highlighting the role of 1,25(OH)D in modulating the pathological properties of FD-derived cells.
