  • Patent number: 11484569
    Abstract: The invention concerns a Reg3? polypeptide (also known as Hepatocarcinoma-Intestine-Pancreas/Pancreatitis Associated Protein (HIP/PAP)) for use in the protection of oxygen sensitive gram-positive bacteria, compositions comprising the polypeptide and their use. The inventors have shown that an increase in the concentration of the h Reg3? lectin into the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) lumen of hReg3?-transgenic mice induced significant changes in the composition of the gut microbiota, and dramatically improved host resistance to intestinal inflammation. hReg3? exerted a potent antioxidant activity on intestinal epithelial cells during colitis, and in particular the ROS scavenging activity, in particular, by promoting the survival of highly oxygen sensitive bacteria. Inventors also showed that h Reg3?-transgenic mice resist better to DSS-induced colitis after antibiotherapy.
