The gut microbiota and selected strains of Commensal Bacteria / Commensalism affect the functionality of RAR-related Orphan Receptor Gamma/T (ROR-gamma/t) Isoform 2 (NR1F3)t+ Foxp3+ Colonic Treg cells
Treg cell frequencies are particularly high in the lamina propria , especially in the colon, and they positively corelate with the microbial mass in the GI tract
Gut bacteria control colonic RORγ +T reg cells through their bile acid metabolic pathways
Gut tissue-resident Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) can be induced in response to dietary and Gut microbiota

The symbiosis of gut bacteria is made possible because of a tolerized response from the Mucosal immune system
Bacteroides fragilis has been shown to produce polysaccharide A (PsA), which also stimulates regulatory T cell production.
Specific members of the commensal microbial community have been found to potentiate the generation of anti-inflammatory Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) or pro-inflammatory Th17 cells
Specific Commensal Bacteria / Commensalism species induce the accumulation of specific immune cell populations, for example, Foxp3+ Tregs
Gut commensal microbes shape the Mucosal immune system by regulating the differentiation and expansion of several types of T cell
Treg cells expressing transcription factor Foxp3 play a key role in limiting inflammatory responses in the intestine
Gut microbiota induces an efficient peripheral extrathymically generation of antigen-specific populations of Treg cells instead of T effector cells
The induction of generation of RAR-related Orphan Receptor Gamma/T (ROR-gamma/t) Isoform 2 (NR1F3)t + Foxp3 + Colonic Treg cells by gut microbiota provides tolerance to commensal microbiota.
