Research Background
Domesticating the host is the better long-term strategy
for pathogens. 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.
