Antifungal effects of synthetic human β-defensin 3-C15 peptide
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this ex vivo study was to compare the antifungal activity of a synthetic peptide consisting of 15 amino acids at the C-terminus of human β-defensin 3 (HBD3-C15) with calcium hydroxide (CH) and Nystatin (Nys) against Candida albicans (C. albicans) biofilm. MATERIALS AND METHODS C. albicans were grown on cover glass bottom dishes or human dentin disks for 48 hr, and th...
متن کاملProduction and characterization of polyclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide from β-actin protein
Objective(s):Antibodies against actin, as one of the most widely studied structural and multifunctional housekeeping proteins in eukaryotic cells, are used as internal loading controls in western blot analyses. The aim of this study was to produce polyclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide derived from N-terminal region of β-actin protein to be used as a protein loading control in western ...
متن کاملHuman β-defensin-3 increases the expression of interleukin-37 through CCR6 in human keratinocytes.
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL)-37, a new member of the IL-1 family, is characterized as a fundamental inhibitor of innate immunity: it dampens the production of proinflammatory cytokines, protects against inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and plays a potent immunosuppressive role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. IL-37 is highly expressed in psoriatic skin, in which human β-defensins (hBDs) ha...
متن کاملEffects of human β-defensin-3 on biofilm formation‑regulating genes dltB and icaA in Staphylococcus aureus.
An understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that drive Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation may lead to the development of an effective strategy to control the increasing number of refractory clinical infections it causes. The present study examined the effects of the antimicrobial agent human β‑defensin 3 (hBD‑3) and the antibiotics vancomycin and clindamycin on the expression of the S. a...
متن کاملEffects of Stress on Mouse β-Defensin-3 Expression in the Upper Digestive Mucosa
PURPOSE Gastrointestinal integrity and immune surveillance are affected by stress. Stress also adversely affects mucosal barrier function. β-defensins constitute an integral component of the innate immune system as antimicrobial peptides, serving as the first line of defense against microbial pathogens at the epithelial surfaces of the upper digestive mucosa. The primary objective of this study...
