- Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), particularly host defense peptides (HDPs), have gained recognition for their role in host defense mechanisms, but they have also shown potential as a promising anticancer, antiviral, antiparasitic, antifungal and immunomodulatory agent. Research studies in recent years have shown HDPs play a crucial role in endothelial cell function and biology. The function of endothelial cells is impacted by HDPs’ complex interplay between cytoprotective and cytotoxic actions as they are known to modulate barrier integrity, inflammatory response and angiogenesis. This biphasic response varies and depends on the peptide structure, its concentration, and the microenvironment. These effects are mediated through key... (More)
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), particularly host defense peptides (HDPs), have gained recognition for their role in host defense mechanisms, but they have also shown potential as a promising anticancer, antiviral, antiparasitic, antifungal and immunomodulatory agent. Research studies in recent years have shown HDPs play a crucial role in endothelial cell function and biology. The function of endothelial cells is impacted by HDPs’ complex interplay between cytoprotective and cytotoxic actions as they are known to modulate barrier integrity, inflammatory response and angiogenesis. This biphasic response varies and depends on the peptide structure, its concentration, and the microenvironment. These effects are mediated through key signaling pathways, including MAPK, NF-κB, and PI3K/Akt, which controls responses such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and migration. In the present review, we have discussed the significance of the intriguing relationship between HDPs and endothelial cell physiology which suggests it potential as a therapeutic agents for the treating wounds, cardiovascular diseases, and inflammation-related endothelial damage.
