    Uptake through glycoprotein 2 of FimH(+) bacteria by M cells initiates mucosal immune response (2009)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-11-13
    Description: The mucosal immune system forms the largest part of the entire immune system, containing about three-quarters of all lymphocytes and producing grams of secretory IgA daily to protect the mucosal surface from pathogens. To evoke the mucosal immune response, antigens on the mucosal surface must be transported across the epithelial barrier into organized lymphoid structures such as Peyer's patches. This function, called antigen transcytosis, is mediated by specialized epithelial M cells. The molecular mechanisms promoting this antigen uptake, however, are largely unknown. Here we report that glycoprotein 2 (GP2), specifically expressed on the apical plasma membrane of M cells among enterocytes, serves as a transcytotic receptor for mucosal antigens. Recombinant GP2 protein selectively bound a subset of commensal and pathogenic enterobacteria, including Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium), by recognizing FimH, a component of type I pili on the bacterial outer membrane. Consistently, these bacteria were colocalized with endogenous GP2 on the apical plasma membrane as well as in cytoplasmic vesicles in M cells. Moreover, deficiency of bacterial FimH or host GP2 led to defects in transcytosis of type-I-piliated bacteria through M cells, resulting in an attenuation of antigen-specific immune responses in Peyer's patches. GP2 is therefore a previously unrecognized transcytotic receptor on M cells for type-I-piliated bacteria and is a prerequisite for the mucosal immune response to these bacteria. Given that M cells are considered a promising target for oral vaccination against various infectious diseases, the GP2-dependent transcytotic pathway could provide a new target for the development of M-cell-targeted mucosal vaccines.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hase, Koji -- Kawano, Kazuya -- Nochi, Tomonori -- Pontes, Gemilson Soares -- Fukuda, Shinji -- Ebisawa, Masashi -- Kadokura, Kazunori -- Tobe, Toru -- Fujimura, Yumiko -- Kawano, Sayaka -- Yabashi, Atsuko -- Waguri, Satoshi -- Nakato, Gaku -- Kimura, Shunsuke -- Murakami, Takaya -- Iimura, Mitsutoshi -- Hamura, Kimiyo -- Fukuoka, Shin-Ichi -- Lowe, Anson W -- Itoh, Kikuji -- Kiyono, Hiroshi -- Ohno, Hiroshi -- DK43294/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- DK56339/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2009 Nov 12;462(7270):226-30. doi: 10.1038/nature08529.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory for Epithelial Immunobiology, Research Center for Allergy and Immunology, RIKEN, Kanagawa 230-0045, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19907495" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Treg induction by a rationally selected mixture of Clostridia strains from the human microbiota (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-07-12
    Description: Manipulation of the gut microbiota holds great promise for the treatment of inflammatory and allergic diseases. Although numerous probiotic microorganisms have been identified, there remains a compelling need to discover organisms that elicit more robust therapeutic responses, are compatible with the host, and can affect a specific arm of the host immune system in a well-controlled, physiological manner. Here we use a rational approach to isolate CD4(+)FOXP3(+) regulatory T (Treg)-cell-inducing bacterial strains from the human indigenous microbiota. Starting with a healthy human faecal sample, a sequence of selection steps was applied to obtain mice colonized with human microbiota enriched in Treg-cell-inducing species. From these mice, we isolated and selected 17 strains of bacteria on the basis of their high potency in enhancing Treg cell abundance and inducing important anti-inflammatory molecules--including interleukin-10 (IL-) and inducible T-cell co-stimulator (ICOS)--in Treg cells upon inoculation into germ-free mice. Genome sequencing revealed that the 17 strains fall within clusters IV, XIVa and XVIII of Clostridia, which lack prominent toxins and virulence factors. The 17 strains act as a community to provide bacterial antigens and a TGF-beta-rich environment to help expansion and differentiation of Treg cells. Oral administration of the combination of 17 strains to adult mice attenuated disease in models of colitis and allergic diarrhoea. Use of the isolated strains may allow for tailored therapeutic manipulation of human immune disorders.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Atarashi, Koji -- Tanoue, Takeshi -- Oshima, Kenshiro -- Suda, Wataru -- Nagano, Yuji -- Nishikawa, Hiroyoshi -- Fukuda, Shinji -- Saito, Takuro -- Narushima, Seiko -- Hase, Koji -- Kim, Sangwan -- Fritz, Joelle V -- Wilmes, Paul -- Ueha, Satoshi -- Matsushima, Kouji -- Ohno, Hiroshi -- Olle, Bernat -- Sakaguchi, Shimon -- Taniguchi, Tadatsugu -- Morita, Hidetoshi -- Hattori, Masahira -- Honda, Kenya -- England -- Nature. 2013 Aug 8;500(7461):232-6. doi: 10.1038/nature12331.
