LL-37 and Citrullinated-LL-37 elicited Transcriptome and Cytokine Profiles in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells: Citrullination dampens the inflammatory biosignature

The human host defence peptide LL-37 mediates pleiotropic immunomodulatory functions that can be both pro- and anti-inflammatory. Under inflammatory conditions in the lungs, LL-37 is susceptible to the post-translational modification (PTM) citrullination. The impact of this PTM on LL-37's immunomodulatory functions is not fully understood. Therefore, we characterized the transcriptome and…
