Peptidoglycan from Staphylococcus aureus has an antiapoptotic effect in HaCaT keratinocytes mediated by the production of the cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein-2
Colonization of epithelium by microorganisms leads to inflammatory responses. In some cases an anti-apoptotic response involving the cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein-2 (cIAP-2) also occurs.Although strong expression of cIAP-2 has been observed in lesional skin from psoriatic patients and in HaCaT keratinocytes treated with peptidoglycan (PGN) from Staphylococcus aureus, antiapoptotic responses induced in the skin by cIAP-2 have seldom been studied. In this study, the effect of PGN on TNF-a-induced apoptotic HaCaT keratinocytes was assessed. Morphological analysis,quantification of cells with DNA fragmentation and active caspase-3 detection was performed to assess apoptotic cell death. Greater LL-37 and cIAP-2 production was found in keratinocytes stimulated with PGN than in non-treated cells (P
