چکیده انگلیسی
Airway mucus overproduction is a distinguishing feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). LL-37 is the only member of human cathelicidins family of antimicrobial peptides and plays a central role in many immune and inflammatory reactions. Increasing evidence suggests the involvement of LL-37 in the pathogenesis of COPD. Here, we investigated the effects of LL-37 on airway mucus overproduction in COPD. We observed overexpression of both LL-37 and MUC5AC mucin (a major mucin component of mucus) in airways of COPD patients and found a correlation between them. We showed in vitro that LL-37 induces MUC5AC mucin production by airway epithelial NCI-H292 cells in the absence and presence of cigarette smoke extract, with TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE)-EGFR-ERK1/2 pathway and IL-8 required for the induction. Therefore, we concluded that LL-37 enhances the mucus production in COPD airways, thus contributing to the progression of COPD.
