Oral intake of phenylbutyrate with or without vitamin D(3) upregulates the cathelicidin LL-37 in human macrophages: a dose finding study for treatment of tuberculosis

BACKGROUND: We earlier showed that 4-phenylbutyrate (PB) can induce cathelicidin LL-37 expression synergistically with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) in a lung epithelial cell line. We aimed to evaluate a therapeutic dose of PB alone or in combination with vitamin D(3) for induction of LL-37 expression...
