HE4-1 leech peptide
HE4-1 leech peptide is a p38 MAPK inhibitor with an additional c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitory role. HE4-1 leech peptide suppresses macrophage migration, and does not significantly affect macrophage immunological activities including phagocytic ability, lysozyme activity, and expression levels of most inflammatory factors. HE4-1 leech peptide can be used for the research of atherosclerosis.

Biological Activity
HE4-1 leech peptide (200-800 μg/mL; 24 h after 2 h LPS pretreatment) inhibits LPS-induced migration of RAW264.7 macrophages through p38 MAPK and JNK signaling pathways, and downregulates transcription of MEKK4 and ASK2[1].
HE4-1 leech peptide (200-800 μg/mL; 24 h after 2 h LPS pretreatment) does not significantly affect phagocytic ability, lysozyme activity, or secretion of IL-1β, IL-6, or IL-12 in RAW264.7 macrophages at concentrations up to 800 μg/mL, but increases TNF-α secretion at 400 and 800 μg/mL[1].
