The intestinal microbiota is responsible for colonization resistance and immune response to pathogens but can be disrupted by antibiotics and lose its barrier effect. Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells of the immune system with the ability to initiate a primary immune response or immune tolerance. In a human microbiota-associated mouse model, we evaluated the influence of <em>S. boulardii</em> on the composition of the microbiota and on the properties of dendritic cells in normal homeostatic conditions and after antibiotic-induced stress. The DCs were derived from splenic precursors. Membrane antigen expression and phagocytosis of FITC-latex beads by DCs were evaluated by flow cytometry. The molecular analysis of the microbiota was performed with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) combined with flow cytometry or confocal microscopy using group specific 16S rRNA targeted probes. This evaluation was conducted during and after a 7-day oral treatment with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid alone and in combination with the administration of the yeast. The antibiotic treatment increased the phagocytic activity of DCs. Their antigen presenting function (MHC class II antigen and CD 86 costimulatory molecule membrane expression) was up-regulated. This reflects a functional activation of DCs. In the presence of <em>S. boulardii</em>, the modification of membrane antigen expression was down regulated. To correlate these modifications to the microbiota disruption, we analyzed in parallel the composition of the intestinal microbiota. As previously shown, the amoxicillin-clavulanic acid treatment, both alone and with <em>S. boulardii,</em> did not quantitatively alter the total microbiota. In contrast, after one day of the antibiotic treatment the <em>Clostridium coccoides</em> group decreased dramatically in the two groups of mice treated with the antibiotic.

Dans la seconde partie, nous démontrons la mise en œuvre pratique de cette méthode en décrivant la biostructure du microbiote fécal chez des sujets sains et chez des patients atteints de diarrhée chronique idiopathique traités par <em>Saccharomyces boulardii</em>. Des carottes de selles de 20 patients souffrant de diarrhée chronique idiopathique et de 20 témoins sains ont été étudiées par la méthode d’HIS. Soixante-treize groupes bactériens ont été évalués. Les fluctuations dans l’organisation de 11 groupes bactériens constitutifs ont été mesurées chaque semaine pendant trois semaines avant, trois semaines pendant et trois semaines après une supplémentation orale par <em>Saccharomyces boulardii</em>. Les constatations typiques chez les sujets sains étaient une couche de mucus séparatrice de 5-60 μm, une distribution et une fluorescence homogènes, de fortes concentrations (>10 × 10<sup>10</sup> bactéries/ml) des trois groupes bactériens habituels – <em>Bacteroides, Roseburia</em> et <em>Faecalibacterium prausnitzii –</em> et de faibles concentrations des groupes bactériens occasionnels. Au cours de la diarrhée était constatée une augmentation d’épaisseur de la couche protectrice de mucus, son incorporation aux selles, une réduction des concentrations des groupes bactériens habituels, une inhibition du métabolisme bactérien dans la zone centrale de fermentation (extinction d’hybridation), une stratification de la structure des selles par des substances aqueuses et une augmentation compensatoire des concentrations des groupes bactériens occasionnels. Les symptômes microbiens et cliniques de la diarrhée ont été réversibles avec le traitement par <em>Saccharomyces boulardii</em>. L’analyse du rapport structure/fonction du microbiote fécal permet de caractériser et de surveiller sur des critères quantitatifs la dysfonction colique et sa réponse au traitement. <em>Saccharomyces boulardii</em> améliore significativement la biostructure des fèces au cours de la diarrhée chronique idiopathique et n’a pas d’effets sur le microbiote fécal des sujets sains.</p></div><div><p>The colonic content can be compared to a spatially structured high output bioreactor composed of three functionally different regions : a separating mucus layer, a germinal stock area, and a cent","PeriodicalId":12508,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterologie Clinique Et Biologique","volume":"34 4","pages":"Pages 84-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0399-8320(10)70012-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122230740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
