Developmental switch of intestinal antimicrobial peptide expression
Paneth cell-derived enteric antimicrobial peptides provide protection from intestinal infection and maintenance of enteric homeostasis. Paneth cells, however, evolve only after the neonatal period, and the antimicrobial mechanisms that protect the newborn intestine are ill defined. Using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, immunohistology, reverse-phase high-performanc...
متن کاملEpithelial Antimicrobial Peptide Expression TRIF Signaling Drives Homeostatic Intestinal
Recent results indicate a significant contribution of innate immune signaling to maintain mucosal homeostasis, but the precise underlying signal transduction pathways are ill-defined. By comparative analysis of intestinal epithelial cells isolated from conventionally raised and germ-free mice, as well as animals deficient in the adaptor molecules MyD88 and TRIF, the TLR3 and TLR4, as well as th...
متن کاملPlant-based expression systems for protein and antimicrobial peptide production
Molecular farming technology offers a unique advantage that almost any protein can be produced economically and safely under very controlled conditions. Besides traditional production systems, such as bacteria, yeasts, insects and mammal cell lines, plants can now be used to produce eukaryotic recombinant proteins, especially therapeutic ones. Their advantages as hosts for protein production in...
متن کاملPhenylbutyrate induces antimicrobial peptide expression.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important components of our first line of defense. Induction of AMPs such as LL-37 of the cathelicidin family might provide a novel approach in treating bacterial infections. In this study we identified 4-phenylbutyrate (PBA) as a novel inducer of AMP expression and investigated affected regulatory pathways. We treated various cell lines with PBA and assessed m...
متن کاملAn atypical Phr peptide regulates the developmental switch protein RapH.
Under conditions of nutrient limitation and high population density, the bacterium Bacillus subtilis can initiate a variety of developmental pathways. The signaling systems regulating B. subtilis differentiation are tightly controlled by switch proteins called Raps, named after the founding members of the family, which were shown to be response regulator aspartate phosphatases. A phr gene encod...
