A Chimeric Peptide Derived from a Bacterial Effector Protein Attenuates TLR-2/4-Mediated Production of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines and Enhances the Cellular Availability of Gentamic... by Nandi BR, Patra B, Radhakrishnan GK

“…Additionally, TcpB-derived peptides conjugated to gentamicin were analyzed for enhanced intracellular delivery, bacterial clearance, and anti-inflammatory effects using CFU enumeration, ELISA, and qRT-PCR in both in vitro and in vivo.Results: TB4-BBL2 peptide was efficiently internalized by macrophages via endocytosis and promoted the degradation of TIRAP and MYD88, thereby attenuating TLR2/4-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine production and oxidative stress. In vivo, TB4-BBL2 treatment resulted in over a 70% reduction in serum TNF-α levels, which was also reflected by decreased transcript levels in spleen tissue. …”
