摘要
The gut microbiota has a critical role in the maintenance of immune homeostasis.Alterations in the intestinal microbiota and gut microbiota-derived metabolites have been recognized in many immune-related inflammatory disorders.These metabolites can be produced by gut microbiota from dietaiy components or by the host and can be modified by gut bacteria or synthesized de novo by gut bacteria.Gut microbiota-derived metabolites influence a plethora of immune cell responses,including T cells,B cells,dendritic cells,and macrophages.Som e of these metabolites are involved in the pathogenesis of immune-related inflammatory diseases,such as inflammatory bowel diseases,diabetes,rheumatoid arthritis,and systemic lupus erythematosus.Here,we review the role of microbiota-derived metabolites in regulating the functions of different immune cells and the pathogenesis of chronic immune-related inflammatory diseases.
