An unexpected origin for calming immune cells in the gut

Within the gut, the immune system must strike a perfect balance between protecting our bodies from infection and not overreacting to harmless foreign entities, including food. A new study explores the origins of a type of immune cell that appears to keep inflammatory responses in check.
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:
Many T regs migrated into the epithelium from the body, but never returned. To find out what was happening to these immune cells, they labeled the T regs and watched them over five weeks. In that time, they found that about half of the T regs stopped expressing the protein Foxp3, an important marker of regulatory T cells. Of these, a portion converted to CD4 IELs. This is the first time T-regs have been shown to switch their identity and turn into another cell type within a living organism; until now, they have been thought to be stable. The microbes living on the other side of the gut epithelium appear to contribute to this conversion. When the researchers treated mice with antibiotics, the T-regs stopped switching their identity. "This research reveals how the gut has evolved its own specialized pathway for maintaining the delicate balance between an efficient immune response and the need for tolerance," says Mucida.
