Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we found that interferon-gamma; (IFNγ)-producing CD8+ T cells were highly abundant in the intestine of specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice and which were driven by microbiota. This is because IFNγ+CD8+ T cells were severly depleted in germ-free (GF) mice and SPF mice treated with antibiotics-mixture, and we could see the induction by oral inoculation of GF mice with SPF feces. Specific members of microbiota were corresponded to induce IFNγ+CD8+ T cell since the relative abundance of this cell population in SPF mice varied with housing conditions, and co-housing resulted in all mice ultimately displaying a high-frequency phenotype. Using our bacterial isolate which robustly induce IFNγ+CD8+ T cells in intestines, repetitive administrations of the mixture enhanced host resistance against Listeria monocytogenes infection.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
IFNγ産生CD8T細胞を強く誘導する我々の単離菌カクテルを経口投与すると、CD8T細胞依存的にリステリアモノサイトゲネス感染症の症状が緩和されたことから、IFNγ産生CD8T細胞は病原性微生物感染に対する抵抗性を強めることが示唆された。このことから、腸内常在菌によって誘導されたIFNγ産生CD8T細胞は腸管での微生物感染に対するバリア機能に貢献していることが推察され、同細胞を介した新しい感染症治療法の開発に繋がる可能性が考えられる。
