Pseudin-2 (Ps), isolated from the frog Pseudis paradoxa, exhibits potent
antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity. To develop antimicrobial peptides with
anti-inflammatory activity and low cytotoxicity, we designed Ps analogues with
Lys substitutions, resulting in elevated amphipathic ?-helical structure and
cationicity. We further substituted Gly(11) with Pro (Ps-P analogues) to increase
bacterial cell selectivity. Ps analogues retained antimicrobial activity and
exhibited reduced cytotoxicity, whereas Ps-P analogues exhibited lower
cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity. Tertiary structures revealed that Ps has
a linear ?-helix from Leu(2) to Glu(24), whereas Ps-P has a bend at Pro(11)
between two short ?-helixes. Using various biophysical experiments, we found that
Ps analogues produced much higher membrane depolarization than Ps-P analogues,
whereas Ps-P analogues may penetrate bacterial cell membranes. Ps and its
analogue Ps-K18 exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-stimulated
RAW264.7 and mouse dendritic cells via a mechanism involving the Toll-like
receptor 4 (TLR4) pathway. These activities may arise from their direct
inhibition of the formation of TLR4-MD-2_LPS complex, implying that amphipathic
?-helical structure with an optimum balance between enhanced cationicity and
hydrophobicity may be essential for their anti-inflammatory activity. The bent
structure provided by Pro substitution plays an important role in enhancing
bacterial cell selectivity and cell penetration.
