Summary
CAMP (LL-37), at sufficiently low concentrations, is able to reduce fungal infectivity by inhibiting C. albicans adhesion to plastic surfaces, oral epidermoid cells, and the urinary bladders of female mice. The inhibitory effects of LL-37 on cell adhesion and aggregation were mediated by its preferential binding to mannan and chitin in the fungal cell wall. (Demonstrated in human)
Camp (LL-37) translocates across the E. coli outer membrane and halts bacterial growth by interfering cell wall biogenesis. (Demonstrated in human)
Camp protects against colitis induction in mice. The increased expression of Camp in monocytes involves the activation of Tlr9/ERK signalling pathway by bacterial DNA.
Camp expression is induced upon endoplasmic reticulum stress via NF-kB-C/EBP-alpha activation. (Demonstrated in human)
mCRAMP (Camp) reduces influenza A viral load and disease severity in mice.
The transcription factor Zfp423 is necessary for adipocyte activation and impaired adipogenesis is observed in Zfp423(nur12) mice.
Camp plays an important role in the innate immune response against pathogens in bacterial central nervous system infections.
