LL-37 contains 37 amino acid residues with the first two leucine residues (L1LGDFFRKSKEKIGKEFKRIVQRIKDFLRNLVPRTES37) and mostly exists in epithelial cells and neutrophils.
In vitro experiment it shown that treatment with 4 and 10 μM LL-37 reduced both the number and viability of human osteoblast-like MG63 cell.[2] In vitro, the pretreatment of pMSCs with 1 and 10 μg/mL of LL-37 had not effect on the migratory cells ability. But the pretreatment with 1 μg/mL of LL-37 increased the migratory potential of pMSCs after 48 h.[4] In vitro study it indicated that at 1 µmol/L concentrations of LL-37 for 24 hours, LL-37 prevented LPS-induced stimulation of MCP-1 expression analyzed both on transcript and on protein levels, but had no effect on toll-like receptor (TLR)2 and TLR4 transcript expression. In the meanwhile, treatment with 0.1 and 1 µmol/L LL-37 for 60 minutes in PDL cell induced immunoreactivity for LL-37.[5]
In vivo study it suggested that treatment with 2 μg/mouse of LL-37 intravenously improves the survival of CLP septic mice in a dose-dependent effect. LL-37 ameliorates the level of ectosomes with higher antibacterial potential, result in reducing the bacterial load in CLP mice.[1] LL-37 dose-dependently (1, 3, or 10 μg/ml) induced ectosome release from neutrophil. Injection LL-37 supressed the infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells in CLP mice, where the bacterial burden and inflammatory response are decreased.[3]

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines |
HaCaT cells |
Preparation Method |
HaCaT cells were transfected with a 2 μg of empty vector and 0.1, 0.5, 1, or 2 μg of LL-37 plasmids for 6 h and then internalized with P. gingivalis (MOI 100, 6 h) using the antibiotic protection assay. Total RNA was extracted after 18 h. |
Reaction Conditions |
0.1, 0.5, 1, or 2 μg; 6 h |
Applications |
The qRT-PCR results showed that compared with the control cells, the number of live P. gingivalis was significantly reduced by 0.79, 0.62, and 0.69 times in cells transfected with 0.5, 1, or 2 μg of LL 37 plasmids, respectively. LL 37 mRNA expression gradually increased significantly as transfected with 0.1, 0.5, or 1 μg of LL 37 plasmids, which was followed by a decrease and reached a peak in cells treated with 1 μg of LL 37 plasmids. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models |
BALB/c female mice |
Preparation Method |
Mice were intravenously injected with PBS (200 μl) or LL 37 (3 μg/200 μl in PBS) just prior to CLP or sham operation. Peritoneal exudates (3 ml) and blood were collected 14–16 h after the operation, and the number of bacteria and inflammatory cells was determined. |
Dosage form |
3 μg/200 μl in PBS; i.v. |
Applications |
LL 37 administration significantly reduced the bacterial load in the peritoneal exudates (PBS-CLP vs LL-37-CLP) as well as blood. |
