Cathelicidins Modulate TLR-Activation and Inflammation [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Cathelicidins are short cationic peptides that are part of the innate immune system. At first, these peptides were studied mostly for their direct antimicrobial killing capacity, but nowadays they are more and more appreciated for their immunomodulatory ...

Effects of Virus-associated Molecular Patterns on the Expression of Cathelicidins in the Hen Vagina
Journal of Poultry Science, 2016 The aim of this study was to examine the expression profiles of the cathelicidins (CATHs) in the oviduct and the effects of Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands of virus-associated molecular patterns on CATHs expression in the vagina of hens.

Antiviral Potential of Cathelicidins [PDF]
Future Microbiology, 2013 The global burden of morbidity and mortality arising from viral infections is high; however, the development of effective therapeutics has been slow. As our understanding of innate immunity has expanded over recent years, knowledge of natural host defenses against viral infections has started to offer potential for novel therapeutic strategies.

Poultry Science, 2020 Cathelicidins represent a major group of host defense peptides (HDPs) that share a highly conserved cathelin-like domain. In birds, this gene family has been identified in many species. However, no information was available in the goose until now.

Chicken cathelicidins display antimicrobial activity against multiresistant bacteria without inducing strong resistance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The increased prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in combination with the relatively limited development of new antibiotics presents a serious threat to public health.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Cathelicidins Induce Toll-Interacting Protein Synthesis to Prevent Apoptosis in Colonic Epithelium
Journal of Innate Immunity, 2022 Cathelicidin peptides secreted by leukocytes and epithelial cells are microbicidal but also regulate pathogen sensing via toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the colon by mechanisms that are not fully understood.
