Enteric α-defensins on the verge of intestinal immune tolerance and inflammation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The gut is the biggest immune organ in the body that encloses commensal microbiota which aids in food digestion. Paneth cells, positioned at the frontline of host-microbiota interphase, can modulate the composition of microbiota. Paneth cells achieve this via the delivery of microbicidal substances, among which enteric α-defensins play the primary role. If microbiota is dysregulated, it can impact the function of the local mucosal immune system. Importantly, this system is also exposed to an enormous number of antigens which are derived from the gut-resident microbiota and processed food, and may potentially trigger undesirable local inflammatory responses. To understand the intricate regulations and liaisons between Paneth cells, microbiota and the immune system in this intestinal-specific setting, one must consider their mode of interaction in a wider context of regulatory processes which impose immune tolerance not only to self, but also to microbiota and food-derived antigens. These include, but are not limited to, tolerogenic mechanisms of central tolerance in the thymus and peripheral tolerance in the secondary lymphoid organs, and the intestine itself. Defects in these processes can compromise homeostasis in the intestinal mucosal immunity. In this review, which is focused on tolerance to intestinal antigens and its relevance for the pathogenesis of gut immune diseases, we provide an outline of such multilayered immune control mechanisms and highlight functional links that underpin their cooperative nature.
