Popis: Summary: Splenic Ly6Chigh monocytes are innate immune cells involved in the regulation of central nervous system-related diseases. Recent studies have reported the shaping of peripheral immune responses by the gut microbiome via mostly unexplored pathways. In this study, we report that a 4-day antibiotic treatment eliminates certain families of the Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Tenericutes, and Actinobacteria phyla in the gut and reduces the levels of multiple pattern recognition receptor (PRR) ligands in the serum. Reduction of PRR ligands was associated with reduced numbers and perturbed function of splenic Ly6Chigh monocytes, which acquired an immature phenotype producing decreased levels of inflammatory cytokines and exhibiting increased phagocytic and anti-microbial abilities. Addition of PRR ligands in antibiotic-treated mice restored the number and functions of splenic Ly6Chigh monocytes. Our data identify circulating PRR ligands as critical regulators of the splenic Ly6Chigh monocyte behavior and suggest possible intervention pathways to manipulate this crucial immune cell subset.
