Anti-Tumor Effects of Cecropin A and Drosocin Incorporated into Macrophage-Like Cells Against Hematopoietic Tumors in <i>Drosophila mxc</i> Mutants
2025-01-31
Abstract excerpt
Five major antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in <i>Drosophila</i> are induced in <i>multiple sex combs</i> (<i>mxc</i>) mutant larvae harboring lymph gland (LG) tumors and exhibit anti-tumor effects. The effects of the other well-known AMPs, Cecropin A and Drosocin, remain unelucidated. We investigated the tumor-elimination mechanism of these AMPs. A half-dose reduction of either &l...
