Protocol summary

Summary
The aim of this study were to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the down or upregulation of the components of See-Saw model, in first degree relatives of Multiple sclerosis patients, however it also compared to an apparently healthy group. Interleukins ( levels of IL-10, IL-17A, IL-6 ) are assessed in the first degree of apparently healthy relatives of Multiple Sclerosis ( MS ) patients and compared with Blank group. The study group is controlled by vitamin D. The treatment groups will be include of 23 people of first degree apparently healthy relatives of MS patients first degree relatives such as ( son, daughter, sister and brother ) and blank groups would be consisted of 23 subjects free from any complication and genetic history ( no history of MS in their relatives ). These groups should have inclusion criteria, for instance, with ages between 20-40 years old, could donate blood samples, tend to take part in study and fill food frequency questionnaire ( FFQ ) and food record forms and should lack of exclusion criteria, malabsorption, consumption of medicine that interact with vitamin D, consumption vitamin D and Ca supplementation and gestation and lactation. In this interventional study that will be conducted in each group by a before and after design, any person that participate in this study will provide 10 ml blood samples at each stage . They also will provide serum samples for 25-hydroxy vitamin D by Electro Chemiluminescence ( ECL) and the gene expression of See-Saw model's interleukins ( IL-10, IL-17A, IL-6) by Real Time-PCR will be measured. Afterward, each group will intake vitamin D supplementation for 2 months ( 8 weeks ) at a rate of 50000 IU per week. Besides more, food intake of vitamin D will be assessed by FFQ and food record in treatment, blank and Multiple sclerosis groups. the main objective of this study is assessment of the probable effects of vitamin D supplementation on Downregulation phenomenon by evaluating of gene expression for proinflamatory interleukins that have involved in MS disease and Upregulation phenomenon of gene expression for antiinflamatory interleukin that provide protective role in MS disease
