Abstract
The host-microbiome axis has been implicated in promoting anti-inflammatory immune responses. Yet, the underlying molecular mechanisms of commensal-mediated IL-10 production by regulatory B cells (Bregs) are not fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that bacterial CpG motifs trigger the signaling downstream of TLR9 promoting IκBNS-mediated expression of Blimp-1, a transcription regulator of IL-10. Surprisingly, this effect was counteracted by the NF-κB transcription factor c-Rel. A functional screen for intestinal bacterial species identified the commensal Clostridium sporogenes, secreting high amounts of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs), as an amplifier of IL-10 production by promoting sustained mTOR signaling in B cells. Consequently, enhanced Breg functionality was achieved by combining CpG with the SCFA butyrate or the BCFA isovalerate thereby synergizing TLR- and mTOR-mediated pathways. Collectively, Bregs required two bacterial signals (butyrate and CpG) to elicit their full suppressive capacity and ameliorate T cell-mediated intestinal inflammation. Our study has dissected the molecular pathways induced by bacterial factors, which might contribute not only to better understanding of host-microbiome interactions, but also to exploration of new strategies for improvement of anti-inflammatory cellular therapy.
期刊介绍:
Mucosal Immunology, the official publication of the Society of Mucosal Immunology (SMI), serves as a forum for both basic and clinical scientists to discuss immunity and inflammation involving mucosal tissues. It covers gastrointestinal, pulmonary, nasopharyngeal, oral, ocular, and genitourinary immunology through original research articles, scholarly reviews, commentaries, editorials, and letters. The journal gives equal consideration to basic, translational, and clinical studies and also serves as a primary communication channel for the SMI governing board and its members, featuring society news, meeting announcements, policy discussions, and job/training opportunities advertisements.
