Popis: Dysfunction of the intestinal mucosal barrier causes inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Indeed, mucosal barrier impairment in the gut of IBD patients results from decreased expression of barrier molecules. Ly6/Plaur domain containing 8 (Lypd8) segregates microbiota from the colonic epithelial layer. In this study, we found that Lypd8−/− mice, in which flagellated bacteria invaded the mucosal surface of the colon, developed spontaneous colitis when dysbiosis was induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). On the basis of this finding, we assessed whether the application of human LYPD8 (hLYPD8) protein exhibiting the glycan-dependent inhibition of bacterial motility is effective in a colitis model. Oral and anal treatments with hLYPD8 protein ameliorate dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis and HFD-induced colitis in Lypd8−/− mice. These results indicate a therapeutic potential of hLYPD8 protein supplementation for IBD.
