Expression and regulation of human β‐defensin‐2 in osteoarthritic cartilage

19 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

Defensins are antibiotic peptides that are involved in host defence at epithelial and mesenchymal surfaces. Previous studies have shown the induction of human beta-defensin-3 (HBD-3) in osteoarthritic joints, suggesting that these molecules have functions in addition to their ability to kill microbes. The aim of this study was to investigate the production of a further human beta-defensin, named HBD-2, in...
