Bugs, Guts, and Glia: How Microbiota Influence Enteric Gliogenesis and Migration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enteric glia are neural crest derivatives. Kabouridis et al. (2015) now show in adult animals that new glia arise within the ganglia of enteric plexuses and then migrate centripetally to colonize the mucosa. Remarkably, enteric microbiota regulate this critical migration.

Homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2 regulates postnatal development of enteric dopaminergic neurons and glia via BMP signaling.
Trophic factor signaling is important for the migration, differentiation, and survival of enteric neurons during development. The mechanisms that regulate the maturation of enteric neurons in postnatal life, however, are poorly understood. Here, we show that transcriptional cofactor HIPK2 (homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2) is required for the maturation of enteric neurons and for regula...
متن کاملEnteric glia are multipotent in culture but primarily form glia in the adult rodent gut.
It is unclear whether neurogenesis occurs in the adult mammalian enteric nervous system (ENS). Neural crest-derived cells capable of forming multilineage colonies in culture, and neurons and glia upon transplantation into chick embryos, persist throughout adult life in the mammalian ENS. In this study we sought to determine the physiological function of these cells. We discovered that these cel...
متن کاملEmerging roles of gut microbiota and the immune system in the development of the enteric nervous system
Introduction The enteric nervous system (ENS) encompasses the intrinsic neuroglial networks of the gut, which are organized into two layers of interconnected ganglia, the outer myenteric and the inner submucosal plexus, which control virtually all aspects of gastrointestinal physiology (1, 2). Enteric neurons are classified into distinct subtypes according to morphological characteristics, intr...
متن کاملDispersal patterns of endogenous bacteria among grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) guts
The formation and regulation of vertebrate endogenous intestinal microbiota has been widely studied as the microbiota plays a crucial role in the host nutrition, development, and health. Despite the importance of microbiota for host health, it is still unclear whether the endogenous intestinal microorganisms are genetically distinct or whether they are genetically related with each other in dif...
متن کاملCultivation-Independent Methods Reveal Differences among Bacterial Gut Microbiota in Triatomine Vectors of Chagas Disease
BACKGROUND Chagas disease is a trypanosomiasis whose agent is the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to humans by hematophagous bugs known as triatomines. Even though insecticide treatments allow effective control of these bugs in most Latin American countries where Chagas disease is endemic, the disease still affects a large proportion of the population of South America...
