Purpose
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder in which the skin becomes extremely itchy and is susceptible to recurrent skin infections. AD is thought to occur from a combination of immunological, genetic, and environmental factors. Individuals with AD are at risk for developing a severe and widely disseminated infection called eczema vaccinatum (EV). EV is caused when the live attenuated vaccinia virus in the vaccine reproduces and spreads throughout the body. Individuals with AD lack certain antimicrobial peptides, specifically cathelicidins. This study will examine whether administration of oral Vitamin D3 given over 21 days will change the antimicrobial peptide expression in the skin or saliva of subjects with AD. This study will help researchers determine if the lack of the expression of antimicrobial peptides in individuals with AD plays a role in the susceptibility to EV.
This trial also includes a sub-study with individuals who have psoriasis. Psoriasis is also an immune-mediated skin disease, and is characterized by scaling skin and inflammation (pain, swelling, heat, and redness). Most psoriasis cause patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales. These patches can itch or feel sore. This sub-study will provide additional information on psoriatic responses to oral vitamin D.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Change From Baseline on Day 21 in Relative Abundance of CAMP mRNA in Lesional and Non-Lesional Skin for Atopic Dermatitis (AD) Participants Who Received Oral Vitamin D3 Versus Vitamin D3-Placebo [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 21 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Cathelicidin (CAMP) Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) expression from skin biopsies measured by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Average delta cycle threshold (CT) adjusted for non-atopic average at baseline on the arithmetic scale = [(average of (CT for CAMP - CT for Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)) across replicates) - (the average of (CT for CAMP - CT for GAPDH) for non-atopic subjects at baseline)]. A negative value indicates a drop from baseline and a positive value indicates an increase from baseline. Cathelicidin amount is clinically significant as it is necessary to resist infection. Cathelicidin amount is not known to be clinically relevant to the clinical signs of dermatitis associated with AD.
- Change From Baseline on Day 21 in Relative Abundance of CAMP mRNA in Non-Lesional Skin for Non-Atopic Dermatitis (Non-AD) Participants Who Received Oral Vitamin D3 Versus Vitamin D3-Placebo [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 21 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Cathelicidin (CAMP) Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) expression from skin biopsies measured by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Average delta cycle threshold (CT) adjusted for non-atopic average at baseline on the arithmetic scale = [(average of (CT for CAMP - CT for Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)) across replicates) - (the average of (CT for CAMP - CT for GAPDH) for non-atopic subjects at baseline)]. Non-AD is defined as a healthy volunteer without atopic dermatitis, therefore the lesional skin-type was not measured in this group. A negative value indicates a drop from baseline and a positive value indicates an increase from baseline. Cathelicidin amount is clinically significant as it is necessary to resist infection. Cathelicidin amount is not known to be clinically relevant to the clinical signs of dermatitis associated with AD.
- Change From Baseline on Day 21 in Relative Abundance of CAMP mRNA in Lesional and Non-Lesional Skin for Psoriatic Participants Who Received Vitamin D3 Versus Vitamin D3-Placebo [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 21 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Cathelicidin (CAMP) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression from skin biopsies measured by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Average delta cycle threshold (CT) adjusted for non-atopic average at baseline on the arithmetic scale = [(average of (CT for CAMP - CT for Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)) across replicates) - (the average of (CT for CAMP - CT for GAPDH) for non-atopic subjects at baseline)]. A negative value indicates a drop from baseline and a positive value indicates an increase from baseline, Cathelicidin abundance in psoriasis has been hypothesized to correlate with increased inflammation. No direct clinical correlation is known.
- Change From Baseline on Day 21 in Relative Abundance of HBD-3 mRNA in Lesional and Non-Lesional Skin for Atopic Dermatitis (AD) Participants Who Received Oral Vitamin D3 Versus Vitamin D3-Placebo [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 21 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Human Beta-defensin 3 (HBD-3) Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) expression from skin biopsies as measured by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Average delta cycle threshold (CT) adjusted for non-atopic average at baseline on the arithmetic scale = [(average of (CT for CAMP - CT for Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)) across replicates) - (the average of (CT for CAMP - CT for GAPDH) for non-atopic subjects at baseline)]. A negative value indicates a drop from baseline and a positive value indicates an increase from baseline. HBD-3 amount is clinically significant as it is necessary to resist infection. HBD-3 amount is not known to be clinically relevant to the clinical signs of dermatitis associated with AD.
- Change From Baseline on Day 21 in Relative Abundance of HBD-3 mRNA in Non-Lesional Skin for Non-Atopic Dermatitis (Non-AD) Participants Who Received Oral Vitamin D3 Versus Vitamin D3-Placebo [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 21 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Human Beta-defensin 3 (HBD-3) Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) expression from skin biopsies measured by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Average delta cycle threshold (CT) adjusted for non-atopic average at baseline on the arithmetic scale = [(average of (CT for CAMP - CT for Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)) across replicates) - (the average of (CT for CAMP - CT for GAPDH) for non-atopic subjects at baseline)]. Non-AD is defined as a healthy volunteer without atopic dermatitis, therefore the lesional skin-type was not measured in this group. A negative value indicates a drop from baseline and a positive value indicates an increase from baseline. HBD-3 amount is clinically significant as it is necessary to resist infection. HBD-3 amount is not known to be clinically relevant to the clinical signs of dermatitis associated with AD.
- Change From Baseline on Day 21 in Relative Abundance of HBD-3 mRNA in Lesional and Non-Lesional Skin for Psoriatic Participants Who Received Vitamin D3 Versus Vitamin D3-Placebo [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 21 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Human Beta-defensin 3 (HBD-3) Messenger Ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression from skin biopsies measured by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Average delta cycle threshold (CT) adjusted for non-atopic average at baseline on the arithmetic scale = [(average of (CT for CAMP - CT for Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)) across replicates) - (the average of (CT for CAMP - CT for GAPDH) for non-atopic subjects at baseline)]. A negative value indicates a drop from baseline and a positive value indicates an increase from baseline. There is no known clinical correlation between HBD-3 and psoriasis.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Change From Baseline on Day 21 in Relative Abundance of IL-13 mRNA in Lesional and Non-Lesional Skin for Atopic Dermatitis (AD) Participants Who Received Vitamin D3 Versus Vitamin D3-Placebo [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 21 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Cytokine interleukin-13 (IL-13) Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) expression from skin biopsies measured by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Average delta cycle threshold (CT) adjusted for non-atopic average at baseline on the arithmetic scale = [(average of (CT for CAMP - CT for Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)) across replicates) - (the average of (CT for CAMP - CT for GAPDH) for non-atopic subjects at baseline)]. A negative value indicates a drop from baseline and a positive value indicates an increase from baseline. A decrease in IL-13 may be clinically correlated with improvement of AD.
- Change From Baseline on Day 21 in Relative Abundance of IL-13 mRNA in Non-Lesional Skin for Non-Atopic Dermatitis (Non-AD) Participants Who Received Vitamin D3 Versus Vitamin D3-Placebo [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 21 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Cytokine interleukin-13 ( IL-13) Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) expression from skin biopsies measured by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Non-AD is defined as a healthy volunteer without atopic dermatitis. A negative value indicates a drop from baseline and a positive value indicates an increase from baseline. A decrease in IL-13 may be clinically correlated with improvement of AD.
