Mature human IECs appear to use Compartmentalization of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in intestinal specific pathogen pattern recognition receptors such as the Toll-like epithelial cells (IECs) regulates distinct immune responses to receptors (TLRs) to balance immune tolerance and immune microbes; however, the specific cellular machinery that controls response, depending on specific cellular localization of the receptors this mechanism has not been fully identified. Here we provide (Abreu, 2010). In cultured human colon epithelial cells, bacterial genetic evidences that the recycling endosomal compartment in cytosine-guanine (CpG) stimulation of apically localized TLR9 from enterocytes maintains a homeostatic TLR9 intracellular distribu- the luminal side induced tolerance to subsequent microbial agonist tion, supporting mucosal tolerance to normal microbiota.

Introduction Since adverse activation of microbial sensors could elicit unwanted immune responses driving intestinal pathogenesis A finely tuned immuno-surveillance system that exquisitely (Leaphart et al, 2007; Fukata et al, 2011), there is a clear imperative balances immuno-responsive and immuno-repressive activities is to understand the IEC-intrinsic sorting units controlling the proper necessary for microbe–host homeostasis in animal tissues.
