Description
Host pathways mediating changes in immune states elicited by intestinal microbial colonization are incompletely characterized. Here we describe alterations of the host immune state induced by colonization of germ-free zebrafish larvae with an intestinal microbial community or single bacterial species. We show that microbiota-induced changes in intestinal leukocyte subsets and whole-body host gene expression are dependent on the innate immune adaptor gene myd88. Similar patterns of gene expression are elicited by colonization with conventional microbiome, as well as mono-colonization with two different zebrafish commensal bacterial strains. By studying loss-of-function myd88 mutants, we find that colonization suppresses Myd88 at the mRNA level. Tlr2 is essential for microbiota-induced effects on myd88 transcription and intestinal immune cell composition. Overall design: Zebrafish embryos were sterilized to generate germ-free groups. Transcriptomic responses in germ-free embryos were were assessed relative to colonized embryos, either colonized by complex and in characterized microbial communities (Conventionalozation) or by specefic single commensal bacterial species (monoassociation, Exiguobacterium/Chryseobacterium)
