MedComm | Vitamin intervention for cytokine storm in the patients with coronavirus disease 2019
Scimea

Recently, Jian‐Sheng Kang reported a strategy for protecting patients with COVID-19, based on vitamin intervention for cytokine storm. As the global pandemic is still growing, if the vitamin intervention for cytokine storm could be proved to be applicable and efficient, it would be tremendously helpful and easy to protect the patients with COVID‐19 worldwide from the cytokine storm‐related death.

Two recent clinical summaries of patients with COVID‐19 reported that cytokine storm was associated with the severity and death of patients with COVID‐19. Thus, it was urgent to seek effective prevention and treatments for the cytokine storm in COVID19 patients, especially those under intensive care unit (ICU). Interestingly, the oral administration of sufficient Vc might be sufficient to ameliorate the cytokine storm caused by neutrophils. In addition, 110 nM of vitamin D (Vd) via vitamin D receptor (VDR) could efficiently suppress the cytokine production of Th17 by inducing the expression of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). Together, the simultaneous administration of sufficient Vc and Vd might ameliorate the neutrophilrelated cytokine storm in the patients with COVID19, especially those under ICU (Fig. 1).
