Microbiota at the crossroads of autoimmunity

Reads0

TLDR
It is suggested that many of the known cues affecting the function of the immune system, such as genetics, gender, pregnancy and diet, exert their effects by influencing, at least in part, the microbiota composition and activity, which modulates the immune response in a way that increases the risk for autoimmunity in predisposed individuals.

Identification of 15 new psoriasis susceptibility loci highlights the role of innate immunity

Lam C. Tsoi, +199 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies and independent data sets genotyped on the Immunochip identified 15 new susceptibility loci, increasing to 36 the number associated with psoriasis in European individuals, and identified five independent signals within previously known loci.

The microbiome in autoimmune diseases.

TL;DR: The role of the microbiome in the maintenance homeostasis of the immune system and then the alterations of the microorganisms that occur in systemic autoimmune diseases are described and the use of probiotics and faecal transplantation are considered as novel therapeutic targets.

Antibiotics in early life: dysbiosis and the damage done.

TL;DR: An overview of the effects of antibiotics on the microbiome in children is presented, and they are correlated with long-lasting complications of obesity, behavior, allergies, autoimmunity and other diseases.

Analysis of immune-related loci identifies 48 new susceptibility variants for multiple sclerosis

Ashley Beecham, +206 more
TL;DR: Using the ImmunoChip custom genotyping array, this article analyzed 14,498 subjects with multiple sclerosis and 24,091 healthy controls for 161,311 autosomal variants and identified 135 potentially associated regions (P < 1.0 × 10(-4)).

Bile acids and intestinal microbiota in autoimmune cholestatic liver diseases.

TL;DR: A bile acids-intestinal microbiota-cholestasis triangle is postulated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune cholestatic liver diseases and potential therapeutic strategies by targeting this triangle are postulated.

An obesity-associated gut microbiome with increased capacity for energy harvest

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through metagenomic and biochemical analyses that changes in the relative abundance of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes affect the metabolic potential of the mouse gut microbiota and indicates that the obese microbiome has an increased capacity to harvest energy from the diet.

Genome-wide association study of 14,000 cases of seven common diseases and 3,000 shared controls

Paul Burton, +195 more
- 07 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: This study has demonstrated that careful use of a shared control group represents a safe and effective approach to GWA analyses of multiple disease phenotypes; generated a genome-wide genotype database for future studies of common diseases in the British population; and shown that, provided individuals with non-European ancestry are excluded, the extent of population stratification in theBritish population is generally modest.

Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome

Curtis Huttenhower, +253 more
- 14 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: The Human Microbiome Project Consortium reported the first results of their analysis of microbial communities from distinct, clinically relevant body habitats in a human cohort; the insights into the microbial communities of a healthy population lay foundations for future exploration of the epidemiology, ecology and translational applications of the human microbiome as discussed by the authors.

A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins

TL;DR: The faecal microbial communities of adult female monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs concordant for leanness or obesity, and their mothers are characterized to address how host genotype, environmental exposure and host adiposity influence the gut microbiome.
