Modulation of Systemic Immune Responses through Commensal Gastrointestinal Microbiota
Colonization of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is initiated during birth and continually seeded from the individual's environment. Gastrointestinal microorganisms play a central role in developing and modulating host immune responses and have been the subject of investigation over the last decades. Animal studies have demonstrated the impact of GI tract microbiota on local gastrointestinal imm...
متن کاملCommensal microbiota influence systemic autoimmune responses.
Antinuclear antibodies are a hallmark feature of generalized autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis. However, the processes underlying the loss of tolerance against nuclear self-constituents remain largely unresolved. Using mice deficient in lymphotoxin and Hox11, we report that approximately 25% of mice lacking secondary lymphoid organs spontaneously...
متن کاملThe Commensal Microbiota Drives Immune Homeostasis
For millions of years, microbes have coexisted with eukaryotic cells at the mucosal surfaces of vertebrates in a complex, yet usually harmonious symbiosis. An ever-expanding number of reports describe how eliminating or shifting the intestinal microbiota has profound effects on the development and functionality of the mucosal and systemic immune systems. Here, we examine some of the mechanisms ...
متن کاملCommensal gut bacteria: mechanisms of immune modulation.
Mucosal immune responses to pathogenic gut bacteria and the mechanisms that govern disease progression and outcome have been researched intensely for decades. More recently, the influence of the resident non-pathogenic or 'commensal' microflora on mucosal immune function and gut health has emerged as an area of scientific and clinical importance. Major differences occur in the mucosal immune re...
متن کاملImpact of commensal microbiota on murine gastrointestinal tract gene ontologies.
The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of eukaryotes is colonized by a vast number of bacteria, where the commensal microbiota play an important role in defining the healthy gut. To investigate the influence of commensal bacteria on multiple regions of the host GIT transcriptome, the gene expression profiles of the corpus, jejunum, descending colon, and rectum of conventional (n = 3) and germ-free mi...
