Antimicrobial peptides and other potential biomarkers of critical illness in SARS‐CoV‐2 patients with acute kidney injury. AMPAKI‐CoV study

Physiological Reports
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) constitute a complex network of 10–100 amino acid sequence molecules widely distributed in nature. While over 300 AMPs have been described in mammals, cathelicidins and defensins remain the most extensively studied.

Distribution of human Β-defensin 2, TNF-alpha, IL-1 alpha, IL-6 and IL-8 in psoriatic skin

, 2011
Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, proliferative condition of the skin, clinically characterized by red, scaly plaques. Psoriasis has a large and heterogenous genetic and immunologic background with the dysregulation of the host defense system.

Plasma alpha-defensin is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in type 1 diabetic patients

, 2008
CONTEXT: alpha-Defensins are antimicrobial peptides of the innate immune system. In addition, experimental evidence suggests that alpha-defensins are proatherogenic.

Defensin alpha 6 (DEFA 6) overexpression threshold of over 60 fold can distinguish between adenoma and fully blown colon carcinoma in individual patients

BMC Cancer, 2010
Background It is known that alpha-defensin expression is enhanced in colon cancer. However, the expression of human alpha defensin 6 (DEFA 6) in earlier stages, such as adenoma, has so far not yet been studied in a patient resolved manner.

Alpha defensin expression in white blood cells [PDF]

Copy number variation (CNV) accounts for a large proportion of genetic variation. The DEFA1A3 CNV has variable numbers of copies of the DEFA1 and DEFA3 genes that encode alpha defensins 1-3, antimicrobial peptides abundant in human neutrophils ...

Beta-defensin-2 protein is a serum biomarker for disease activity in psoriasis and reaches biologically relevant concentrations in lesional skin.

, 2009
Previous studies have extensively documented antimicrobial and chemotactic activities of beta-defensins. Human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2) is strongly expressed in lesional psoriatic epidermis, and recently we have shown that high beta-defensin genomic copy ...
