Commensal bacteria protect against food allergen sensitization

Abstract: Environmentally induced alterations in the commensal microbiota have been implicated in the increasing prevalence of food allergy. We show here that sensitization to a food allergen is increased in mice that have been treated with antibiotics or are devoid of a commensal microbiota. By selectively colonizing gnotobiotic mice, we demonstrate that the allergy-protective capacity is conferred by a Clostridia-containing microbiota. Microarray analysis of intestinal epithelial cells from gnotobiotic mice revealed a… Show more

“…Consistent with these functions, SCFAs were implicated in anti-inflammatory properties of a mix of 17 human-derived Clostridia strains (Atarashi et al, 2013;Smith et al, 2013). Gut microbial communities harboring Clostridia are additionally beneficial in that they regulate immune function and epithelial permeability to food antigens to protect against allergen sensitization (Stefka et al, 2014).…”

“…In the mouth, alteration of the local microbiota will produce dental caries and periodontitis; in the stomach, reflux, gastritis, stomach ulcers, dyspepsia; in the intestine, conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, chronic diarrhoea or constipation, malabsorption, diverticulitis, etc. [12][13][14].…”

“…e highest microbial exposure to the host takes place at the gut epithelium and thus, its e ects on type 2 immune responses can be expected to be strongest at this site. In a murine model of orally inAllergo J Int 2016; 25: 114-23 duced food allergy antibiotic-treated as well as germfree mice showed more e cient sensitization to peanut extract that resulted in more severe anaphylactic reactions upon systemic allergen challenge [37]. Besides its role for the development of the immune system, the microbiota also a ects the mucus layer and regulates the permeability of the epithelial barrier.…”

“…Besides its role for the development of the immune system, the microbiota also a ects the mucus layer and regulates the permeability of the epithelial barrier. Indeed, more peanut allergens were found in the serum of sensitized germfree mice compared to conventionally housed mice [37]. Besides allergic in ammation, ulcerative colitis is another non-infectious disease which is (at least in part) based on a type 2 immunopathology [38].…”
