Influence of early gut microbiota on the maturation of childhood mucosal and systemic immune responses

TLDR
Among sensitized infants, those with high, as compared with low levels, of salivary secretory IgA are less likely to develop allergic symptoms and early colonization with certain gut microbiota, e.g. Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium species, might be associated with less allergy development.
Abstract
Introduction: Among sensitized infants those with high, as compared with low levels, of salivary secretory IgA (SIgA) are less likely to develop allergic symptoms. Also, early colonization with cer ...

Tryptophan Catabolites from Microbiota Engage Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor and Balance Mucosal Reactivity via Interleukin-22

TL;DR: A metabolic pathway whereby Trp metabolites from the microbiota balance mucosal reactivity in mice is described, whereby highly adaptive lactobacilli are expanded and produce an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligand-indole-3-aldehyde-that contributes to AhR-dependent Il22 transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

The composition of the gut microbiota throughout life, with an emphasis on early life.

TL;DR: A review discusses recent studies on the early colonization and factors influencing this process which impact on health and an adequate establishment of microbiota and its maintenance throughout life would reduce the risk of disease in early and late life.

Diet-Induced Dysbiosis of the Intestinal Microbiota and the Effects on Immunity and Disease

TL;DR: The role of the microbiota and the potential for diet-induced dysbiosis in inflammatory conditions of the GI tract and systemic diseases will be discussed.

Low Gut Microbiota Diversity in Early Infancy Precedes Asthma at School Age

TL;DR: Low total diversity of the gut microbiota during the first year of life is associated with allergic diseases in infancy, but little is known how early microbial diversity is related to allergic disease later in school age.

Recognition of microorganisms and activation of the immune response.

TL;DR: The mammalian immune system has innate and adaptive components, which cooperate to protect the host against microbial infections, and recent progress brings us closer to an integrated view of the immune system and its function in host defence.

An immunomodulatory molecule of symbiotic bacteria directs maturation of the host immune system.

TL;DR: During colonization of animals with the ubiquitous gut microorganism Bacteroides fragilis, a bacterial polysaccharide (PSA) directs the cellular and physical maturation of the developing immune system.

A microbial symbiosis factor prevents intestinal inflammatory disease

TL;DR: It is reported here that the prominent human symbiont Bacteroides fragilis protects animals from experimental colitis induced by Helicobacter hepaticus and that molecules of the bacterial microbiota can mediate the critical balance between health and disease.

Dendritic cells produce IL-12 and direct the development of Th1 cells from naive CD4+ T cells.

TL;DR: In addition to inducing proliferation and clonal expansion of naive T cells, dendritic cells, by their production of IL-12, play a direct role in the development of IFN-gamma-producing cells that are important for cell-mediated immune responses.

Allergy development and the intestinal microflora during the first year of life

TL;DR: Differences in the composition of the gut flora between infant who will and infants who will not develop allergy are demonstrable before the development of any clinical manifestations of atopy.
