Low dietary fiber intake impairs small intestinal Th17 and intraepithelial T cell development over generations
Summary: Dietary fiber strongly impacts the microbiota. Here, we show that a low-fiber diet changes the small intestinal (SI) microbiota and impairs SI Th17, TCRαβ+CD8αβ+ and TCRαβ+CD8αα+ intraepithelial T cell development. We restore T cell development with dietary fiber supplementation, but this d...

description | Summary: Dietary fiber strongly impacts the microbiota. Here, we show that a low-fiber diet changes the small intestinal (SI) microbiota and impairs SI Th17, TCRαβ+CD8αβ+ and TCRαβ+CD8αα+ intraepithelial T cell development. We restore T cell development with dietary fiber supplementation, but this defect becomes persistent over generations with constant low-fiber diets. Offspring of low-fiber diet-fed mice have reduced SI T cells even after receiving a fiber-rich diet due to loss of bacteria important for T cell development. In these mice, only a microbiota transplant from a fiber-rich diet-fed mouse and a fiber-rich diet can restore T cell development. Low-fiber diets reduce segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) abundance, impairing its vertical transmission. SFB colonization and a fiber-rich diet partially restore T cell development. Finally, we observe that low-fiber diet-induced T cell defects render mice more susceptible to Citrobacter rodentium infection. Together, these results demonstrate the importance of fiber to microbiota vertical transmission and host immune system development. |
