The vitamin D receptor (VDR) and its ligands, such as paricalcitol, have demonstrated immunomodulatory effects on various immune cell subpopulations, including macrophages, dendritic cells, and T-cells. However, the precise role of VDR activation in granuloma formation and the associated immune regulatory pathways, including the PD-1/PD-L1 axis, remains poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of paricalcitol, a selective VDR agonist, on granuloma formation and immune cell composition in an experimental model of superoxide dismutase A (SoDA)-induced inflammation, with a focus on antigen-presenting cells (including CD68 + and CD1a + cells), T- and B-cell populations, and PD-L1 expression.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>- The study involved 90 male Wistar rats divided into control and experimental groups.
