We investigated the mechanism by which cationic antimicrobial
peptides block the activation of macrophages by LPS. The initial step
in LPS signaling is the transfer of LPS to CD14 by LPS binding protein
(LBP). Because many cationic antimicrobial peptides bind LPS, we asked
whether these peptides block the binding of LPS to LBP. Using an assay
that measures the binding of LPS to immobilized LBP, we show for the
first time that a variety of structurally diverse cationic
antimicrobial peptides block the interaction of LPS with LBP. The
relative ability of different cationic peptides to block the binding of
LPS to LBP correlated with their ability to block LPS-induced TNF-
production by the RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line.
