Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive tumors, with poor prognosis and high metastatic capacity. The aggressive behavior may involve inflammatory processes characterized by deregulation of molecules related to the immunological responses in which interleukin-1 β  (IL-1 β ) and tumor necrosis factor- α  (TNF- α ) are involved. It is known that calcitriol, the active vitamin D metabolite, modulates the synthesis of immunological mediators; however, its role in the regulation of IL-1 β  and TNF- α  in TNBC has been scarcely studied. In the present study, we showed that TNBC cell lines SUM-229PE and HCC1806 expressed vitamin D, IL-1 β , and TNF- α  receptors. Moreover, calcitriol, its analogue EB1089, IL-1 β , and TNF- α  inhibited cell proliferation. In addition, we showed that synthesis of both IL-1 β  and TNF- α  was stimulated by calcitriol and its analogue. Interestingly, the antiproliferative activity of calcitriol was significantly abrogated when the cells were treated with anti-IL-1 β  receptor 1 (IL-1R1) and anti-TNF- α  receptor type 1 (TNFR1) antibodies. Furthermore, the combination of calcitriol with TNF- α  resulted in a greater antiproliferative effect than either agent alone, in the two TNBC cell lines and an estrogen receptor-positive cell line. In summary, this study demonstrated that calcitriol exerted its antiproliferative effects in part by inducing the synthesis of IL-1 β  and TNF- α  through IL-1R1 and TNFR1, respectively, in TNBC cells, highlighting immunomodulatory and antiproliferative functions of calcitriol in TNBC tumors.
