摘要
Antimicrobial peptides are attracting more attention as a therapeutic alternative compared to traditional antibiotics in the field of disease control and prevention due to their unique mechanism of action and broad spectrum antimicrobial activity.LL-37(L),a linear helical peptide isolated from human leukocytes and epithelia,plays a critical role in the process of antimicrobial infection,angiogenesis,wound healing and apoptosis[1].However,it shows undesirable hemolytic activity against eukaryotic cells by inducing membrane disruption,which largely limits its application in clinic[2].Cecropin A(C),a antibacterial peptide produced by Hyalophora cecropia,shows broad bioactivities such as antibacterial,anti-inflammation and anticancer,but it does not lyses eukaryotic cells[3,4].In our study,the hybrid peptide C(1-8)-L(17-30)(C-L) was designed by combining the N-terminal amphipathic α-helix fragment of C with the core antimicrobial fragment of L on the basis of the hypothesis that the combination will elevate the antimicrobial property and minimize the hemolytic activity.Results showed that the antibacterial property of C-L was greatly improved when compared to parental peptides,and C-L did not show cytotoxicity in comparison with L.Moreover,C-L was better than C and L in sterilization speed and efficacy.In sum,this research not only supplied an effective approach for acquiring excellent hybrid peptide C-L,but pave the way for its further exploration on pharmaceutical and medical importance.
