Vitamin D3 loaded polycaprolactone nanoparticles enhance the expression of the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin in macrophages

open access: yesArtificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology
Tuberculosis (TB), primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a global health burden. Current antibiotic treatments are limited by adverse effects, poor adherence, and drug resistance, necessitating new therapeutic approaches. Recent studies

Sensitivity of Chlamydia spp. to cathelicidin peptides

open access: yes, 2007
Several studies have reported an antimicrobial activity of cathelicidin peptides against bacteria, fungi, protozoa. Since chlamydia sensitivity to cathelicidin peptides has not been systematically tested, we comparatively analysed the activity of six ...

Verification of amniotic fluid cathelicidin levels.

open access: yes, 2012
In concordance with the iTRAQ findings, women with confirmed MIAC and HCA enrolled in the exploratory phase had significantly higher amniotic fluid cathelicidin concentration than women in whom both conditions were ruled out.

Change of Cathelicidin Concentration over Time.

open access: yes, 2016
In a subset of 40 children with two consecutive visits roughly twelve months apart, the median increase in cathelicidin concentration from the first visit to the second visit was 24.0 ng/mL (ranging from -1.9 ng/mL to +223.4ng/mL, p≤0.0001); ρ value ...

Recent advances in the therapeutic potential of cathelicidins

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
The alarming increase in antimicrobial resistance in the last decades has prompted the search for alternatives to control infectious diseases. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent a heterogeneous class of molecules with ample antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal effects.

PPARgamma als molekulares Target epithelialer Funktionen im Intestinaltrakt

open access: yes, 2008
Disruption of the complex gastrointestinal ecosystem between the resident microflora and the colonic epithelial cells has been associated with increased inflammation and altered cell growth. Possible endpoints of this disturbance are IBD and CRC.

Activity of cathelicidin peptides against Simkania negevensis

open access: yes, 2011
The in vitro activity of six cathelicidin peptides against the reference strain Z of Simkania negevensis was investigated. Five peptides-PG-1, Bac7, SMAP-29, BMAP-27, and BMAP-28-proved to be active at very low concentrations (1 to 0.1 μg/mL),

Applications of Cathelicidin

open access: yes, 2013
A recombinant form of human antimicrobial polypeptide, LL-37 Cathelicidin, was designed and expressed in human cells with the goal for the peptide to incorporate into cell-derived extracellular matrix.
