| Research Abstract |
We studied the antimicrobial and antitumor effects of various host defense peptides (HDPs) associates with innate immunity. Additionally, we demonstrated the only member of the cathelicidin family identified in humans, as human cationic antimicrobial protein 18 (hCAP18) regulates signal transduction in epithelial cells and squamous cell carcinoma cells. Our results demonstrated that the bacterial killing of hCAP18 was synergistic with defensin and lactobacilluspeptide, as lactacin. In addition, we show that hCAP18 encoded CAMP gene is tumor suppressive activity in human squamous cell carcinoma.
