We should think of each host and its parasites as a superorganism with the respective genomes yoked into a chimera of sorts. Nobel laureate Joshua Lederberg (Science, 2000) The immune system evolved to protect the host from invasion by the microorganisms present in the environment. Despite the strong ability of the immune system to repel infections by pathogenic microbes, it is now clear that the immune system co-exists with vast numbers of commensal microbiota in all the mucosal surfaces exposed to the environment. As the late Nobel laureate Joshua Lederberg presciently suggested in 2000 that the microbes and their host should be considered a “super-organism”, the commensal microbiota of a typical adult human is comprised of almost 1000 different species, is 10-times larger than the host in terms of total cell numbers, and contains 100-150fold more genes than the host. The vast genetic diversity of the commensal microbiota, viewed as the microbiome, is increasingly appreciated as being essential for the health of the host. The commensal microbiota are beneficial to the host in many respects, including aiding absorption of nutrients from food, production of vitamins, and protection from pathogenic microbes. Imbalance of the commensal microbiota, called dysbiosis, is thought to be responsible for many of the host’s physical ills, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, inflammatory diseases, cancer, allergies, asthma, and autoimmunity. The relationship between the host immune system and the commensal microbiota is highly complex because these microbes possess many of the same traits as pathogenic microorganisms. Hence, the immune system must co-exist with commensal microbiota and maintain a state of tolerance to self and innocuous environmental Ags, yet be able to vigorously repel invasion by a wide spectrum of pathogens. The various mechanisms operating to regulate these responses are yet to be clearly defined, but they probably converge and intertwine with each other indicating that our immune system needs to be viewed in the 11 IBB POSTECH NEWSLETTER Fall 2012 context of a super-organism. Our lab is focused on how the host immune system, especially adaptive immunity, interacts and establishes mutualism with the commensal microbiota and how such interactions affect the host tolerance to self and immunity to foreign antigens. For these studies, we have established axenic (germ-free) mice facility and are preparing other necessary infrastructure to perform projects that will increase our understanding of these issues.
