Gut Microbes, 2020 We hypothesized that the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin has a physiological role in regulating gut inflammatory homeostasis. We determined that cathelicidin synergizes with LPS to facilitate its internalization and signaling via endosomic TLR4 in ...

Cathelicidin Contributes to the Restriction of Leishmania in Human Host Macrophages
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 In cutaneous Leishmaniasis the parasitic control in human host macrophages is still poorly understood. We found an increased expression of the human cathelicidin CAMP in skin lesions of Ethiopian patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Immunomodulatory effects of cathelicidin in the gut–brain axis: A novel link between mucosal immunity and neuroinflammation [PDF]
Experimental PhysiologyCathelicidins are evolutionarily conserved host defence peptides known for their dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. Among them, LL‐37 in humans and CRAMP in rodents have emerged as crucial regulators of both mucosal immunity and CNS ...

Cathelicidin regulates goblet cell mucus secretion and mucus-associated proteins in Citrobacter rodentium-induced colitis [PDF]
Gut MicrobesColonic goblet cells play a crucial role in mucosal defense by secreting Muc2 mucin and other proteins that entrap and expel enteropathogens. However, the role of innate effectors in the gut like cathelicidin peptides in regulating the mucus barrier ...

The antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin protects mice from Escherichia coli O157:H7-mediated disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 This study investigated the role of the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin in Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection and subsequent renal damage. Mouse and human cathelicidin, CRAMP and LL-37, respectively, killed E. coli O157:H7 in vitro.

Snake cathelicidin from Bungarus fasciatus is a potent peptide antibiotics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: Cathelicidins are a family of antimicrobial peptides acting as multifunctional effector molecules of innate immunity, which are firstly found in mammalians. Recently, several cathelicidins have also been found from chickens and fishes.
