| Research Abstract |
Antimicrobial peptides such as β defensins, LL-37, hCAP-18 are involved in defensive function of oral epithelium. It is still unclear how strong protective effect of the peptides on the bacterial infection. The present study examined whether overexpression of the peptides in macrophage cell lines, J774.1, made them resistance bacterial infection.
Two vectors showing β defensin-1 (hBD-1) and -2 (hBD-2) expressions were transfected into J774.1 cell lines by lipofection method. Overexpressions of hBD-1 and -2 in J774.1 cell lines were confirmed by RT-PCR and western blot methods. The cell lines hBDs overexpressed (hBD-1/J774.1, hBD-2/J774.1) and non transfected cell line were used. For bacterial infection in vitro, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitance (Aa) was used. The bacterial infections were evaluated as cell death of the cell lines by standard quantitative, MTT and DNA fragmentation assays. The ration of cell death in hBD-1/J774.1 or hBD-2/J774.1 is less than that in J777.1. The results indicate that the overexpression of hBDs make them resistant bacterial infection.
