Interaction of intestinal commensal bacteria with mast cells and epithelial cells was analyzed. It was shown that intestinal commensal bacteria affect the terminal differentiation of mast cells and they regulate expression of the genes which are involved in recognition of microbes in intestinal epithelial cells. These mechanisms underlying modulation of the functions of mast cells and intestinal epithelial cells by commensal bacteria may provide a useful target for the regulation of inflammatory reactions which are caused by the disorder of intestinal homeostasis.
