Porcine beta defensin 2 attenuates inflammatory responses in IPEC-J2 cells against Escherichia coli via TLRs-NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPorcine beta defensin 2 (pBD2) is one of the porcine beta defensins that has antibacterial activity, and plays an important role in the immunomodulatory activity that protects cells from pathogens. It has been reported that pBD2 plays their immunomodulatory functions related to the TLR4-NF-κB signal pathways. However, it is not completely clear how pBD2 reduces the inflammatory response caused by pathogens.
resultsIn this study, the effect of pBD2 on the expression of genes in the TLRs signaling pathway was investigated after IPEC-J2 cells were challenged with E. coli. The results showed that pBD2 decreased the expression of IL-8 induced by E. coli (P < 0.05), and pBD2 significantly decreased the expression of TLR4, TLR5 and TLR7 (P < 0.05), as well as the key downstream genes p38 and JNK which activated by E. coli (P < 0.05). In addition, pBD2 inhibited the p-p65, p-p38 and p-JNK which were up-regulated by E. coli.
conclusionspBD2 could reduce the inflammatory response induced by E. coli perhaps by inhibiting the TLRs-TAK1-NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway which was activated by E. coli in IPEC-J2 cells. Our study further reveals the immunomodulatory activity of recombinant pBD2 against E. coli, and provides insights into the molecular mechanisms that protect cells from E. coli infection.
