| Abstract | Objective: The action of antibacterial cathelicidin CAP11 (cationic antibacterial polypeptide of 11 kDa) on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced suppression of neutrophil apoptosis was evaluated in vitro.Methods: Human neutrophils (106 cells/ml) were incubated alone or with mononuclear cells (6 × 105 cells/ml) in the presence of LPS (10 ng/ml) and CAP11 (0.1 ~ 10 μg/ml), and neutrophil apoptosis was determined.Results: LPS suppressed neutrophil apoptosis, accompanied with the activation of NF-κB, phosphorylation of extracellular signal-related protein kinase (ERK), expression of Bcl-XL (an anti-apoptotic protein) and inhibition of caspase 3 activity. Interestingly, CAP11 (>1 μg/ml) reversed the actions of LPS to trigger these changes, and induced neutrophil apoptosis (p < 0.0001). Moreover, neutralizing antibodies against Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 completely blocked the LPS-induced suppression of neutrophil apoptosis (p < 0.0001), suggesting a major role of Mac-1 and TLR4 in the LPS-mediated neutrophil activation. In addition, LPS activated monocytes to produce proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-8) and inhibited neutrophil apoptosis. Importantly, CAP11 (>1 μg/ml) reduced the cytokine production, thereby inducing neutrophil apoptosis (p < 0.0001). Finally, CAP11 (>1 μg/ml) strongly suppressed the LPS-binding to neutrophils and monocytes (p < 0.01).Conclusions: CAP11 is able to block the LPS-induced survival of neutrophils via the suppression of anti-apoptotic signaling in neutrophils and cytokine production from monocytes by inhibiting the binding of LPS to target cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
