Antimicrobial Peptides and Interleukins in Cleft Soft Palate

Cleft palate is one of the most common and well-studied congenital anomalies; however, role protective tissue factors in its pathophysiology still debated. The aim our study was to evaluate interleukin antimicrobial peptide appearance distribution cleft palate. Eight soft samples were obtained during veloplasty procedures. Immunohistochemical staining applied detect HBD-2-, HBD-3-, HBD-4-, LL-37-, IL-10-, CD-163-positive cells via light microscopy. For statistical evaluation, Mann–Whitney U test Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient used. A significant difference between groups observed for HBD-2 IL-10 epithelial connective as well HBD-4 tissue. number HBD-3-positive moderate patients, few controls. LL-37-positive varied from a amount numerous both groups, whilst CD-163 marked positive few-to-moderate Numerous correlations studied revealed tissues. increase peptides anti-inflammatory cytokine suggested wide compensatory elevation local immune system against cleft-raised changes. (HBD-2, HBD-3, HBD-4, LL-37, IL-10) proved synergistic involvement defense postnatal morphopathogenesis.
