Multiple bacterial species and microbial metabolites shape immunity in the intestines. (A) Colonization by SFB or delivery of bacterial-derived ATP promotes Th17 induction by unknown and indirect mechanisms involving DCs. (B) Clostridia species, via production of SCFA, promote the proliferation (i) and de novo induction (ii) of Treg cells in the colonic lamina propria via distinct mechanisms. (C) HDAC inhibitory activity of n-butyrate suppresses proinflammatory cytokine production by intestinal macrophages (MΦ).
