METHODS: An in vitro intestinal model was established using a transwell co-culture system of Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells and RAW264.7 macrophages. Inflammatory conditions were induced in RAW264.7 cells using lipopolysaccharide. The effects of live and pasteurized L. brevis IBRC-M10790 on inflammatory mediators and epithelial barrier markers were investigated.
RESULTS: L. brevis IBRC-M10790 was able to significantly decrease the proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) and increase the anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) in the in vitro co-culture system. In addition, L. brevis increased adherens and tight junction (TJ) markers (ZO-1, E-cadherin, and Occludin) in Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells. Based on the results, pasteurized L. brevis showed a higher protective effect than live L. brevis.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that live and pasteurized forms of L. brevis possess probiotic properties and can mitigate inflammatory conditions in IBD.
方法:使用Caco-2肠上皮细胞和RAW264.7巨噬细胞的transwell共培养系统建立体外肠模型。使用脂多糖在RAW264.7细胞中诱导炎性病症。研究了活的和巴氏灭菌的短乳杆菌IBRC-M10790对炎症介质和上皮屏障标志物的影响。
结果:L.brevisIBRC-M10790能够显着降低促炎细胞因子(IL-6,IL-1β,和TNF-α),并增加体外共培养系统中的抗炎细胞因子(IL-10)。此外,短乳杆菌增加粘附和紧密连接(TJ)标记(ZO-1,E-钙粘蛋白,和occludin)在Caco-2肠上皮细胞中。根据结果,巴氏杀菌短乳杆菌比活短乳杆菌显示出更高的保护作用。
结论:我们的研究结果表明,活的和巴氏杀菌形式的短乳杆菌具有益生菌特性,可以减轻IBD的炎症。
