    Abstract IgA, the most highly produced human antibody, is continually secreted into the gut to shape the intestinal microbiota. Methodological limitations have critically hindered defining which microbial strains are targeted by IgA and why. Here, we develop a new technique, Metagenomic Immunoglobulin Sequencing (MIG-Seq), and use it to determine IgA coating levels for thousands of gut microbiome strains in healthy humans. We find that microbes associated with both health and disease have higher levels of coating, and that microbial genes are highly predictive of IgA binding levels, with mucus degradation genes especially correlated with high binding. We find a significant reduction in replication rates among microbes bound by IgA, and demonstrate that IgA binding is more correlated with host immune status than traditional microbial abundance measures. This study introduces a powerful technique for assessing strain-level IgA binding in human stool, paving the way for deeper understanding of IgA-based host microbe interactions.

    Abstract Ha and colleagues describe a previously unappreciated diversity of microbes in the mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT) surrounding the GI tract. Viable bacteria that are mislocalized from the gut microbiota and metabolically adapted to the MAT contribute to the "creeping fat" of Crohn's disease.

    Abstract The gut microbiota is a complex and plastic network of diverse organisms intricately connected with human physiology. Recent advances in profiling approaches of both the microbiota and the immune system now enable a deeper exploration of immunity-microbiota connections. An important next step is to elucidate a human-relevant "map" of microbial-immune wiring while focusing on animal studies to probe a prioritized subset of interactions. Here, we provide an overview of this field's current status and discuss two approaches for establishing priorities for detailed investigation: (1) longitudinal intervention studies in humans probing the dynamics of both the microbiota and the immune system and (2) the study of traditional populations to assess lost features of human microbial identity whose absence may be contributing to the rise of immunological disorders. These human-centered approaches offer a judicious path forward to understand the impact of the microbiota in immune development and function.

    Abstract The gut microbiome modulates immune and metabolic health. Human microbiome data are biased toward industrialized populations, limiting our understanding of non-industrialized microbiomes. Here, we performed ultra-deep metagenomic sequencing on 351 fecal samples from the Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania and comparative populations in Nepal and California. We recovered 91,662 genomes of bacteria, archaea, bacteriophages, and eukaryotes, 44% of which are absent from existing unified datasets. We identified 124 gut-resident species vanishing in industrialized populations and highlighted distinct aspects of the Hadza gut microbiome related to in situ replication rates, signatures of selection, and strain sharing. Industrialized gut microbes were found to be enriched in genes associated with oxidative stress, possibly a result of microbiome adaptation to inflammatory processes. This unparalleled view of the Hadza gut microbiome provides a valuable resource, expands our understanding of microbes capable of colonizing the human gut, and clarifies the extensive perturbation induced by the industrialized lifestyle.

    Abstract Lasting antibody responses are maintained by long-lived plasma cells, which are thought to lodge in the BM in specialized survival niches. Eosinophils have been reported to function as a critical component of the BM survival niche where they are thought to provide pro-survival signals to nearby plasma cells. Recent study shows that many BM plasma cells are recently generated and chiefly short-lived cells, raising the possibility that rare plasma cell-eosinophil interactions are a rate-limiting step needed to establish lasting humoral immunity. To address these issues, we examined the impact of eosinophil depletion on short- and long-lived BM plasma cells in the context of antibody responses induced by both T-cell dependent and T-cell independent antigens. Surprisingly, our results failed to support a role for eosinophils in either plasma cell generation or survival. These studies included examination of plasma cell frequencies in mice lacking eosinophils either after antibody-mediated depletion, or due to mutation of the GATA1 locus.

    Abstract The intestine serves as the primary site of nutrient absorption in the body while also harboring the highest burden of commensal microflora and representing a major portal of pathogen exposure. As such, the immune network of the intestine relies on both dietary and commensal derived signals to guide appropriate function. Recent advances highlight the role of dietary derived nutrients and commensal derived metabolites in shaping gastrointestinal immunity. In particular, vitamin A has been shown to have dominant and pleiotropic effects in the intestine. In addition, dietary derived AHR ligands and commensal derived metabolites are now emerging as important players in mucosal immunity. Thus nutrition, commensal microflora and the mucosal immune system are all intimately connected.
