Effect of growth factors on antimicrobial peptides and pro-inflammatory mediators during wound healing
2015
Background
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), such as human beta-defensin-2 (hBD-2) and the CC-chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20), exhibit direct microbicidal effects and mediator-like activity. It was hypothesized that wounding induces the expression of AMPs and pro-inflammatory mediators and that endogenous mediators, such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), modulate this induced expression.
