| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The commensal flora plays an important role in the intestinal inflammation. However, we have recently shown that commensal bacteria are not essential for the development of SAMP1 ileitis. In this study, we demonstrate that cotransfer of SPF CD4+ cells prevent the colitis induced by GF SAMP CD4+ cells. GF nTreg cells indicate lower production of immunoregulatory cytokines in culture stimulation assay and significantly impaired suppressive capacities both in the proliferative responses and in inducing the colitis. GF SAMP mice orally receiving enteric flora from SPF mice develop significant colitis in acute phase due to a defect in nTreg cells, but rapidly expanded Treg cells suppressed later colitis. Furthermore, they prevented developing DSS-induced colitis. Our results provide evidence that the absence of commensal flora lead to impaired functions of nTreg cells, which contributes to the development of colitis but not ileitis in SAMP mice.
