Gut commensal microbes shape the mucosal immune system by regulating the differentiation and expansion of several types of T cell. Clostridia, a dominant class of commensal microbe, can induce colonic regulatory T (Treg) cells, which have a central role in the suppression of inflammatory and allergic responses. However, the molecular mechanisms by which commensal microbes induce colonic Treg cells have been unclear. Here we show that a large bowel microbial fermentation product, butyrate…

Commensal microbiota regulates T cell fate decision in the gut
TLDR
The regulation of TH cell differentiation by commensal bacteria is evident; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes remain uncertain and the biological significance of microbiota-dependent TH differentiation is discussed.
Microbiota Metabolite Butyrate Differentially Regulates Th1 and Th17 Cells' Differentiation and Function in Induction of Colitis.
TLDR
Data indicate that butyrate controls the capacity of T cells in the induction of colitis by differentially regulating Th1 and Th17 cell differentiation and promoting IL-10 production, providing insights intobutyrate as a potential therapeutic for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
The Microbial Metabolite Butyrate Induces Expression of Th1-Associated Factors in CD4+ T Cells
TLDR
The data reveal that, depending on its concentration and immunological milieu, butyrate may exert either beneficial or detrimental effects on the mucosal immune system.
Individual intestinal symbionts induce a distinct population of RORγ+ regulatory T cells
TLDR
It is reported that symbiotic members of the human gut microbiota induce a distinct Treg population in the mouse colon, which constrains immuno-inflammatory responses.
Control of Intestinal Regulatory T Cells by Human Commensal Bacteria
TLDR
The identified CD4+ FoxP3+ Treg cell-inducing bacteria derived from a healthy human fecal sample included 17 strains belonging to Clostridium cluster IV, XIVa, and XVIII that were found to increase markedly the number of colonic Treg cells and enhance their immunosuppressive capacity.
Regulation of intestinal Th17 and Treg cells by gut microbiota
TLDR
Dysbiosis, an imbalance in the gut microbiota composition, is significantly associated with inflammatory bowel disease and other immune disorders and could be potentially used for treating various inflammatory diseases.
Rapid and Efficient Generation of Regulatory T Cells to Commensal Antigens in the Periphery.
Commensal-bacteria-derived butyrate promotes the T cell-independent IgA response in the colon.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that commensal-bacteria-derived butyrate contributes to the maintenance of the gut immune homeostasis by facilitating the T-cell-independent IgA response in the colon.
Microbiota-Dependent Crosstalk Between Macrophages and ILC3 Promotes Intestinal Homeostasis
TLDR
The cytokine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), recently renamed Csf2, is a key determinant of myeloid lineage differentiation and is required for the optimal function of tissue MNPs.
Bacterial metabolism of bile acids promotes generation of peripheral regulatory T cells
TLDR
It is found that the secondary bile acid 3β-hydroxydeoxycholic acid (isoDCA) increased Foxp3 induction by acting on dendritic cells (DCs) to diminish their immunostimulatory properties, suggesting an interaction between this bile Acid and nuclear receptor.

Inducible Foxp3+ regulatory T-cell development by a commensal bacterium of the intestinal microbiota
TLDR
It is demonstrated that PSA is not only able to prevent, but also cure experimental colitis in animals, and co-opts the Treg lineage differentiation pathway in the gut to actively induce mucosal tolerance.
Induction of Colonic Regulatory T Cells by Indigenous Clostridium Species
TLDR
Oral inoculation of Clostridium during the early life of conventionally reared mice resulted in resistance to colitis and systemic immunoglobulin E responses in adult mice, suggesting a new therapeutic approach to autoimmunity and allergy.

A microbial symbiosis factor prevents intestinal inflammatory disease
TLDR
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.
Lymphoid tissue genesis induced by commensals through NOD1 regulates intestinal homeostasis
TLDR
It is shown that peptidoglycan from Gram-negative bacteria is necessary and sufficient to induce the genesis of ILFs in mice through recognition by the NOD1 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing 1) innate receptor in epithelial cells, and β-defensin 3- and CCL20-mediated signalling through the chemokine receptor CCR6.
Epithelial Cell-Intrinsic Notch Signaling Plays an Essential Role in the Maintenance of Gut Immune Homeostasis
TLDR
It is shown that mice harboring IEC-specific deletion of RBP-JΔIEC, a transcription factor that mediates signaling through Notch receptors, spontaneously develop chronic colitis characterized by the accumulation of Th17 cells in colonic lamina propria, and this mechanism is required for containment of intestinal inflammation.

Regulation of inflammatory responses by gut microbiota and chemoattractant receptor GPR43
TLDR
It is shown that SCFA–GPR43 interactions profoundly affect inflammatory responses, and GPR43 binding of SCFAs potentially provides a molecular link between diet, gastrointestinal bacterial metabolism, and immune and inflammatory responses.
