It is the first line of protection against invading pathogens and the starting point for the immune system. The focus of this review is on the use of amphibian-derived peptides and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in the treatment of wound healing. When skin is injured, a chain reaction begins that includes inflammation, the formation of new tissue, and remodelling of existing tissue to aid in the healing process. Collaborating with non-immune cells, resident and recruited immune cells in the skin remove foreign invaders and debris, then direct the repair and regeneration of injured host tissues. Restoration of normal structure and function requires the healing of damaged tissues. However, a major issue that slows wound healing is infection. AMPs are just one type of host-defense chemicals that have developed in multicellular animals to regulate the immune response and limit microbial proliferation in response to various types of biological or physical stress. Therefore, peptides isolated from amphibians represent novel therapeutic tools and approaches for regenerating damaged skin. Peptides that speed up the healing process could be used as therapeutic lead molecules in future research into novel drugs. AMPs and amphibian-derived peptides may be endogenous mediators of wound healing and treat non-life-threatening skin and epithelial lesions. Hence, this article describes different peptides used in wound healing, theirmethods of preparation, and their routes of administration.","PeriodicalId":10859,"journal":{"name":"Current protein & peptide science","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140887743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: IbACP was isolated from sweet potato leaves, and it was identified as a peptide capable of inducing an alkalinization response in tomato suspension culture media. Additionally, IbACP was found to regulate the proliferation of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. Objective: Elucidate IbACP's molecular influence on defense-related gene expression in tomato leaves using next-generation sequencing analysis. method: To assess the impact of IbACP on defense-related gene expression, transcriptome data were analyzed, encompassing various functional categories such as photosynthesis, metabolic processes, and plant defense. Semi-quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis was employed to verify transcription levels of defense-related genes in tomato leaves treated with IbACP. Method: To assess the impact of IbACP on defense-related gene expression, transcriptome data were analyzed, encompassing various functional categories such as photosynthesis, metabolic processes, and plant defense. Semi-quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis was employed to verify transcription levels of defense-related genes in tomato leaves treated with IbACP for durations ranging from 0 h (control) to 24 h. Results: IbACP induced jasmonic acid-related genes (LoxD and AOS) at 2 h, with a significant up-regulation of salicylic acid-dependent gene NPR1 at 24 h. This suggested a temporal antagonistic effect between jasmonic acid and salicylic acid during the early hours of IbACP treatment. Downstream ethylene-responsive regulator genes (ACO1, ETR4, and ERF1) were consistently down-regulated by IbACP at all times. Additionally, IbACP significantly up-regulated the gene expressions of suberization-associated anionic peroxidases (TMP1 and TAP2) at all time points, indicating enhanced suberization of the plant cell wall to prevent pathogen invasion. Conclusion: IbACP enhances the synthesis of defense hormones and up-regulates downstream defense genes, improving the plant's resistance to biotic stresses.","PeriodicalId":10859,"journal":{"name":"Current protein & peptide science","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140836951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: To detect and identify dominant MI proteins and antigens directly from the field-drawn in-use MWF using an integrated immunoproteomic and immunoinformatic approach. Methods: An MI-positive MWF selected by DNA-based screening of several field-drawn MWF samples were cultured to isolate the colonizing strain and profiled for dominant circulating cell- free (ccf) MI proteins, including antigens using an integrated immunoproteomic (1D- and 2Dgel fractionation of seroreactivity proteins combined with shotgun proteomic analysis using LC-MS/ MS) and immunoinformatic strategy. Results: A new MI strain (MJY-27) was identified. The gel fractionated MI protein bands (1Dgel) or spots (2D-gel) seroreactive with anti-MI sera probes (Rabbit and Patient sera) yielded 86 MI proteins, 29 of which showed peptide abundance. T-cell epitope analysis revealed high (90-100%) binding frequency for HLA-I&amp; II alleles for 13 of the 29 proteins. Their antigenicity analysis revealed the presence of 6 to 37 antigenic determinants. Interestingly, one of the identified candidates corresponded to an experimentally validated strong B- and T-cell antigen (AgD) from our laboratory culture-based studies. result: A new MI strain (MJY-27) was identified.

Methods: After written consent, 130 patients were enrolled in a case–control study. 65 cases were of melasma disorder, and 65 were served as control. Homogenized skin tissues were taken and used to estimate superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (antioxidants), malondialdehyde (MDA) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). Results: Melasma patients had lower basal levels of systemic antioxidants than healthy subjects. Tyrosinase activity was shown to be greater in lesional skin than in non-lesional skin. In controls, there was a good positive relationship between TH and MDA and an excellent negative relationship between GPx and GSH. In melasma patients, there were significant associations between CAT, GPx, SOD and MDA.
