چکیده
LL-37, an active form of human cathelicidin exhibits various effects on immunity and inflammation, such as induction inflammatory cells angiogenesis in addition to its antimicrobial activity. Involvement LL-37 the pathogenesis several skin diseases psoriasis rosacea has been described. To search for association other diseases, we focused scleroderma dermatomyositis. Previously, it shown that is increased scleroderma, mainly dermal small vessels fibroblasts, less reported lesions We examined expression lesional patients with dermatomyositis using immunohistochemical staining. Compared healthy controls, showed especially vessels, previously reported. In dermatomyositis, was expressed infiltrating neutrophils well whole epidermis except stratum corneum. Subcutaneous administration wild-type mice caused vasodilation, edema, cell infiltration from dermis subcutis, necrosis muscle tissue. Furthermore, analyzed Cramp, murine orthologue angiogenesis, vascular permeability, inflammation fibrosis a mouse model bleomycin interfering RNA (siRNA) against Cramp. this report, differential localization explored role scleroderma.

PURPOSE The goals of this study were to examine the expression of the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 in the corneal epithelium during wound healing and to investigate whether LL-37 stimulates human corneal epithelial cell (HCEC) migration, proliferation, and cytokine production. METHODS Expression of LL-37 was determined by RT-PCR and immunostaining in tissue sections and HCECs scraped from corn...

Increasing interest in the vascular features of scleroderma has led to the hypothesis that the blood vessel is the major target tissue and that the endothelial cell is the principal cell target. Useful observations stemming from the vascular hypothesis include the use of microvascular abnormalities in the early detection of the patient destined to develop classical scleroderma, the discovery of...
