项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY To maintain health, the host must avoid generating inflammatory responses to beneficial gut bacteria, while retaining the ability to respond to pathogens. Maintaining this balance is particularly complicated in early life as many of the mechanisms that serve to promote tolerance to resident commensal microbes in adults are either absent or not yet established during this period. We recently identified maternal antibodies as key regulators of host-microbiota mutualism in neonates. Specifically, we found that in addition to IgA, healthy mothers generate microbiota-reactive IgG antibodies, which are transmitted via breastmilk and coat bacteria in the neonatal gut. In comparison with control offspring, neonates that do not receive these maternal isotypes harbor increased numbers of commensal bacteria in gut draining lymph nodes, mount inappropriate, microbiota-driven CD4 T- dependent immune responses, and suffer increased morbidity when subjected to a chemical form of colitis. Building from these exciting findings, this proposal seeks to understand the mechanisms by which maternal antibodies regulate nascent host-microbiota interactions in neonates. Specifically, we will determine the antigen specificities and the effector mechanisms (e.g., complement activation or Fc receptor ligation) required for distinct maternal IgG isotypes to restrain neonatal adaptive immune responses to beneficial gut bacteria. Additionally, we will define the signaling pathways and cell types required to trigger dysregulated adaptive immune responses in offspring that do not receive breastmilk antibodies. We will employ innovative approaches to achieve these goals by leveraging fostering and optimized infant feeding approaches with transgenic mouse models and multi-parameter flow cytometry. These studies are significant because they address key gaps in our knowledge regarding how favorable relationships between the host and resident microbiota are established in early life. Additionally, our work will also advance our understanding of the mechanisms by which breastfeeding promotes health. We expect that the insight gained from this research will significantly aid in our ability to manipulate host-microbiota interactions and mucosal immunity during early life, regardless of mode of nutrition.

项目摘要为了维持健康，宿主必须避免对有益的肠道细菌产生炎症反应，而保留对病原体反应的能力。在早期生活中保持这种平衡特别复杂，因为许多用于促进成人居民共生微生物的耐受性的机制都是在此期间缺乏或尚未建立。我们最近将母体抗体确定为新生儿中的宿主微生物群体互助。具体来说，我们发现除了IGA外，健康母亲还会产生微生物群反应性IgG抗体，通过母乳和新生儿肠道中的细菌传播。在与对照后代的比较，未接受这些母体同种型的新生儿增加肠道排水淋巴结中的共生细菌数量，山上不适当的，微生物群驱动的CD4 T- 受依赖性免疫反应，并在遭受化学形式的结肠炎时遭受发病率的增加。通过这些令人兴奋的发现，该提议旨在了解母亲的机制抗体调节新生儿的新生宿主 - 微生物群相互作用。具体来说，我们将确定抗原特异性和效应机制（例如，补体激活或FC受体连接）需要不同的母体IgG同种型来抑制对有益肠道细菌的新生儿适应性免疫反应。此外，我们将定义触发失调自适应所需的信号通路和细胞类型未接受母乳抗体的后代的免疫反应。我们将采用创新的方法通过利用转基因鼠标利用促进和优化的婴儿喂养方法来实现这些目标模型和多参数流式细胞仪。这些研究很重要，因为它们解决了我们的关键差距关于在宿主与居民微生物群之间的有利关系的知识早期生活。此外，我们的工作还将提高我们对母乳喂养机制的理解促进健康。我们希望从这项研究中获得的见解将极大地帮助我们的能力不论营养方式如何，在早期生活中操纵宿主 - 微生物群的相互作用和粘膜免疫。
