Abstract

Summary: Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in antigen sampling and the maintenance of gut homeostasis. However, the interaction of commensal bacteria with the intestinal surface remains incompletely understood. Here we investigated immune cell responses to commensal and pathogenic bacteria. HT‐29 human IECs were incubated with Bifidobacterium infantis 35624, Lactobacillus salivarius UCC118 or Salmonella typhimurium UK1 for varying times, or were pretreated with a probiotic for 2 hr prior to stimulation with S. typhimurium or flagellin. Gene arrays were used to examine inflammatory gene expression. Nuclear factor (NF)‐κB activation, interleukin (IL)‐8 secretion, pathogen adherence to IECs, and mucin‐3 (MUC3) and E‐cadherin gene expression were assayed by TransAM assay, enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), fluorescence, and real‐time reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR), respectively. IL‐10 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)‐α secretion by bacteria‐treated peripheral blood‐derived DCs were measured using ELISA. S. typhimurium increased expression of 36 of the 847 immune‐related genes assayed, including NF‐κB and IL‐8. The commensal bacteria did not alter expression levels of any of the 847 genes. However, B. infantis and L. salivarius attenuated both IL‐8 secretion at baseline and S. typhimurium‐induced pro‐inflammatory responses. B. infantis also limited flagellin‐induced IL‐8 protein secretion. The commensal bacteria did not increase MUC3 or E‐cadherin expression, or interfere with pathogen binding to HT‐29 cells, but they did stimulate IL‐10 and TNF‐α secretion by DCs. The data demonstrate that, although the intestinal epithelium is immunologically quiescent when it encounters B. infantis or L. salivarius, these commensal bacteria exert immunomodulatory effects on intestinal immune cells that mediate host responses to flagellin and enteric pathogens.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
