Abstract:
LL-37 is a widely-distributed human antimicrobial peptide with antimicrobial activity.In recent years,it has been found that LL-37 not only has antibacterial effect,but also can exert comprehensive immune regulatory function on different immune cells in different microenvironments,and then play a pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory role in a series of autoimmune diseases.This article focuses on immunomodulatory effect of LL-37 and its possible role in autoimmune diseases.
