The Antibacterial Lectin RegIII-Gamma Promotes the Spatial Segregation of Microbiota and Host in the Intestine
نویسنده
چکیده
peripheral blood eosinophil count, skin prick tests, and IgE testing. Infants’ microbiota were assessed through collection of fecal samples at 1 and 12 months of life. Polymerase chain reaction fragments from infant stool separated by DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) provided relative assessment of main bacterial strains and were used in assessing variety and richness in microbial genetic diversity. Cultures were used to identify bacteria, fungi, and yeast present in infant stool.

متن کاملThe antibacterial lectin RegIIIgamma promotes the spatial segregation of microbiota and host in the intestine.
The mammalian intestine is home to ~100 trillion bacteria that perform important metabolic functions for their hosts. The proximity of vast numbers of bacteria to host intestinal tissues raises the question of how symbiotic host-bacterial relationships are maintained without eliciting potentially harmful immune responses. Here, we show that RegIIIγ, a secreted antibacterial lectin, is essential...
متن کاملMyD88-mediated signals induce the bactericidal lectin RegIIIγ and protect mice against intestinal Listeria monocytogenes infection
Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne bacterial pathogen that causes systemic infection by traversing the intestinal mucosa. Although MyD88-mediated signals are essential for defense against systemic L. monocytogenes infection, the role of Toll-like receptor and MyD88 signaling in intestinal immunity against this pathogen has not been defined. We show that clearance of L. monocytogenes from th...
متن کاملCorrelation of gut microbiota composition with colon adenomatous polyps
Microbiota is a collection of microorganisms that live in the oral cavity, respiratory tract and intestine of multicellular organisms. Microbiota exerts numerous physiological and pathological effects on the organism in which it resides. Increasing attention has been directed to the host-microbiota interaction, which is highly relevant to the development of carcinogenesis. Changes in the compos...
متن کاملResistin-like molecule β is a bactericidal protein that promotes spatial segregation of the microbiota and the colonic epithelium.
The mammalian intestine is colonized by trillions of bacteria that perform essential metabolic functions for their hosts. The mutualistic nature of this relationship depends on maintaining spatial segregation between these bacteria and the intestinal epithelial surface. This segregation is achieved in part by the presence of a dense mucus layer at the epithelial surface and by the production of...
