Abstract
Specific intracellular pathways regulated by Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), a PP2A activator or survivin, an inhibitor of Heat Shock Proteins (HSP), can impact human diseases including cancers. In this study, we have initially observed that anti-tumor Tat-survivin (shepherdin-Tat), and ApoE mimetics, Cog or Tat-Cog &Cog-Tat, peptides contained cationic sequences that share similar physical characteristics with LL17-32, a short active sequence of the anti-microbial human cathelecidin peptide. Furthermore, to investigate the potential host defense properties of these peptidic sequences we have comparatively analyzed anti-tumor and anti-bacterial properties of shepherdin-Tat and ApoE mimetic peptides with the human LL17-32 cathelecidin sequence using U87G cells, a relevant human
