The effects of ΔPb-CATH4, a cathelicidin derived from Python bivittatus, were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus-infected wounds in mice. These effects were comparable to those of classical antibiotics. ΔPb-CATH4 was resistant to bacterial protease but not to porcine trypsin. A reduction in the level of inflammatory cytokines and an increase in the migration of immune cells was observed in vitro. Thus, ΔPb-CATH4 can promote wound healing by controlling infections including those caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria via its immunomodulatory effects.

Predicting resistance or susceptibility to infectious diseases on the basis of the genotypes of animals regarding disease or immune related genes could be important in animal production. We evaluated the potential influence of the genetic polymorphisms of four immune related genes, porcine beta defensin 4, interferon-induced GTP-binding protein Mx1, natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (Nramp1), and Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) on post-weaning piglet survivability in farms. We selected a single SNP that satisfied the criteria of non-synonymous substitutions and the minor allele frequency >0.1 from each gene, and performed PCR–RFLP. Distributions of allele and genotype frequencies of the SNPs were, in general, significantly different among the five breeds (Berkshire, Yorkshire, Duroc, Landrace, and Korean native pigs. Initially, 371 randomly collected Yorkshire × Landrace F1 piglets consisting of post-weaning survival (n = 185) and non-survival groups (n = 186) were genotyped for the selected SNPs. For the Nramp1 and TLR2 SNPs, genotype frequencies were significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.05). To confirm the results, additional animals that were collected in a different time-period were genotyped for the Nramp1 (n = 390) and TLR2 (n = 240) SNPs. The results using the combined samples (n = 761) were consistent with the initial analysis (P < 0.01), suggesting that the genetic polymorphisms of Nramp1 and TLR2 affect post-weaning piglet survivability. The relative risks, i.e. odds ratios, between the beneficial and non-beneficial genotypes to piglet survivability were 4.88 and 29.65 for the Nramp1 and TLR2 SNPs, respectively. 相似文献

We synthesized cyclic disulfide-bonded (i, i+4) peptides with various net positive charges (+2-+5) from linear peptides derived from the alpha helical domain of Tenecin 1, an insect defensin, and investigated the effect of the intradisulfide bridge (i, i+4) on hydrophobicity, secondary structure, leakage activity and binding activity for large unilamellar vesicles, antimicrobial activity, and hemolytic activity. Intradisulfide bridge formation of the peptides resulted in the increase of amphiphilicity and hydrophobicity. Cyclic forms of the peptides did not deeply penetrate into PG/PC (1:1, mole ratio) large unilamellar vesicles and had a decreased lipid membrane perturbation activity for PG/PC LUVs. When the peptides interacted with PG/CL (2:1, mole ratio) LUVs, cyclic peptides with a high net positive charge (+4-+5) showed similar binding affinities and leakage activities for vesicles to those of linear forms, whereas cyclic peptides with a low net positive charge (+2-+3) exhibited lower leakage activity than their linear forms. CD spectra indicate that the intradisulfide bridge (i, i+4) provided little conformational constraint to linear peptides in buffer solution but resulted in the decrease of alpha helicity of the peptides in lipid membrane mimic conditions. The cyclic peptide with the highest net positive charge had a similar antibacterial activity to that of the linear peptide, whereas the cyclic peptides with a low net positive charge (+3-+4) exhibited lower antibacterial activity than their linear forms. The cyclic peptides of an appropriate net charge showed more potent activities against some bacteria than those of linear forms under high salt conditions. 相似文献

Various animal models of Alzheimer disease (AD) are characterized by deficits in spatial memory that are causally related
to altered synaptic function and impairment of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus. In Tg2576 AD mice, we compared
LTP in 2 major hippocampal pathways, Schaffer collateral (SC) and mossy fiber (MF) pathways. Whereas LTP was completely abolished
in the SC pathway of Tg2576 mice, we found no decrease in LTP induced by stimulation of the MF pathway. In fact, we found
that in the MF pathway, LTP was slightly, but significantly, enhanced compared with that in the MF pathway of WT littermates.
This pathway-specific impairment of LTP is not attributable to alterations in transmitter release, as indicated by an unaltered
paired-pulse ratio. These results suggest that the spatial memory deficits normally seen in AD models arise primarily from
LTP impairment at the SC pathway. 相似文献
