Core Tip This study identifies CD40 as a pivotal therapeutic target in acute pancreatitis. The antimicrobial peptide OH-CATH30 binds to CD40 and suppresses the CD40-tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6-transforming growth factor beta-activated kinase 1-nuclear factor-kappa B signaling cascade. This inhibition drives macrophage polarization from pro-inflammatory M1 to anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype and corrects arachidonic acid metabolic dysregulation. These findings establish CD40 as a central node that links inflammatory signaling and metabolic reprogramming in acute pancreatitis. Thus, OH-CATH30 is a promising multi-functional therapeutic candidate for this devastating inflammatory disease.
