Abstract

The antimicrobial peptide derived from insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (AMP-IBP5) displays antimicrobialactivities and immunomodulatory properties; however, its role in the regulation of skin barrier in the context of atopic dermatitis (AD) remains unclear. Normal human keratinocytes were stimulated with AMP-IBP5 and Western blot was used to analyze the expression of tight junction (TJ)-related proteins. Immunofluorescence staining was used to examine the intercellular distribution of TJ-related proteins.
