Antimicrobial peptides produced by epithelial cells represent essential elements of innate immunity. Human β-defensin-2 (hβD-2) is a major inducible antimicrobial peptide which plays an important role in host defense. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) on hβD-2 gene expression in epithelial cells, and to characterize further the...
Current knowledge of the cellular signaling by Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) in epithelial cells is still limited. In this study, we provide evidence that the signaling events induced by M. bovis BCG in these cells included phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Our data also demonstrate that M. bovis BCG-induced...
