Reg3β, a lectin, displays antibacterial activity. This study investigated Reg3β-expressing cells using IL-22-stimulated enteroids. IL-22 stimulation elevated the mRNA and protein levels of Reg3β. IL-22 also increased the mRNA levels of CD133 (a transit-amplifying cell marker) and lysozyme (a Paneth cell marker). Immunohistochemistry showed partial colocalization of Reg3β- and lysozyme-positive cells, suggesting that Paneth cells are one of Reg3β-producing cells.
