Bouasker S, Nodland S, Millette M. The Probiotic Strain Lactobacillus acidophilus CL1285 Reduces Fat Deposition and Oxidative Stress and Increases Lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans. Microorganisms 2024; 12:1036. [PMID: 38930418 PMCID: PMC11205358 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12061036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Caenorhabditis elegans was recently shown to be a powerful model for studying and identifying probiotics with specific functions. Lactobacillus acidophilus CL1285, Lacticaseibacillus casei LBC80R, and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CLR2, which are three bacteria that were marketed by Bio-K+, were evaluated using the nematode C. elegans to study fat accumulation, lifespan, and resistance to oxidative stress. Although the general effects of probiotics in terms of protection against oxidative stress were highlighted, the CL1285 strain had an interesting and specific feature, namely its ability to prevent fat accumulation in nematodes; this effect was verified by both the Oil Red and Nile Red methods. This observed phenotype requires daf-16 and is affected by glucose levels. In addition, in a daf-16- and glucose-dependent manner, CL1285 extended the lifespan of C. elegans; this effect was unique to CL1285 and not found in the other L. acidophilus subtypes in this study. Our findings indicate that L. acidophilus CL1285 impacts fat/glucose metabolism in C. elegans and provides a basis to further study this probiotic, which could have potential health benefits in humans and/or in mammals.

Abstract
Adequate experimental animal models play an important role in an objective assessment of the effectiveness of medicines and functional foods enriched with biologically active substances. The aim of our study was a comparative assessment of the effect of consumption of 1 or 2% cholesterol with and without regular (two times a week), moderate running exercise on the main biomarkers of lipid and cholesterol metabolism, as well as the intestinal microbiota of male Wistar rats. In experimental rats, a response of 39 indicators (body weight, food consumption, serum biomarkers, liver composition, and changes in intestinal microbiota) was revealed. Total serum cholesterol level increased 1.8 times in animals consuming cholesterol with a simultaneous increase in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (2 times) and decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (1.3 times) levels compared to the control animals. These animals had 1.3 times increased liver weight, almost 5 times increased triglycerides level, and more than 6 times increased cholesterol content. There was a tendency towards a decrease in triglycerides levels against the background of running exercise. The consumption of cholesterol led to a predominance of the Bacteroides family, due to a decrease in F. prausnitzii (1.2 times) and bifidobacteria (1.3 times), as well as an increase in Escherichia family (1.2 times). The running exercise did not lead to the complete normalization of microbiota.

A Mix of Potentially Probiotic Limosilactobacillus fermentum Strains Alters the Gut Microbiota in a Dose- and Sex-Dependent Manner in Wistar Rats. Microorganisms 2024; 12:659. [PMID: 38674604 PMCID: PMC11052373 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12040659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Multi-strain Limosilactobacillus (L.) fermentum is a potential probiotic with reported immunomodulatory properties. This study aimed to evaluate the composition, richness, and diversity of the gut microbiota in male and female rats after treatment with a multi-strain of L. fermentum at different doses. Thirty rats (fifteen male and fifteen female) were allocated into a control group (CTL), a group receiving L. fermentum at a dose of 108 CFU (Lf-108), and a group receiving L. fermentum at a dose of 1010 CFU (Lf-1010) for 13 weeks. Gut microbiota and serum cytokine levels were evaluated after L. fermentum treatment. Male CTL rats had a lower relative abundance of Bifidobacteriaceae and Prevotella and a lower alpha diversity than their female CTL counterparts (p < 0.05). In addition, male CTL rats had a higher Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio than female CTL rats (p < 0.05). In female rats, the administration of L. fermentum at 108 CFU decreased the relative abundance of Bifidobacteriaceae and Anaerobiospirillum and increased Lactobacillus (p < 0.05). In male rats, the administration of L. fermentum at 1010 CFU decreased the F/B ratio and increased Lachnospiraceae and the diversity of the gut microbiota (p < 0.05). The relative abundance of Lachnospiraceae and the alpha-diversity of gut microbiota were negatively correlated with serum levels of IL1β (r = -0.44) and TNFα (r = -0.39), respectively. This study identified important changes in gut microbiota between male and female rats and showed that a lower dose of L. fermentum may have more beneficial effects on gut microbiota in females, while a higher dose may result in more beneficial effects on gut microbiota in male rats.

The Role of Autochthonous Levilactobacillus brevis B1 Starter Culture in Improving the Technological and Nutritional Quality of Cow's Milk Acid-Rennet Cheeses-Industrial Model Study. Foods 2024; 13:392.

Abstract
In the study, an attempt was made to develop an innovative technology for cheese manufacturing. It was hypothesized that selected autochthonous lactic acid bacteria as a starter culture are more suitable for the production of acid-rennet cheeses of good technological and sensory quality. The study aimed to assess the possibility of using the strain Levilactobacillus brevis B1 (L. brevis B1) as a starter culture to produce acid-rennet cheeses using raw cow's milk. Two variants of cheese were manufactured. The control variant (R) was coagulated with microbial rennet and buttermilk, and the other variant (B1) was inoculated with rennet and L. brevis B1 starter culture. The effect of the addition of these autochthonous lactic acid bacteria on selected physicochemical characteristics, durability, the composition of fatty acids, cholesterol, Iipid Quality Indices, and microbiological and sensory quality of acid-rennet cheeses was determined during a 3-month period of storage. The dominant fatty acids observed in the tested cheeses were saturated fatty acids (SFA) (68.43-69.70%) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) (25.85-26.55%). Significantly higher polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content during storage was observed for B1 cheeses. The B1 cheeses were characterized by lower cholesterol content compared to cheese R and showed better indexes, including the Index of atherogenicity, Index of thrombogenicity, DFA, OFA, H/H, and HPI indexes, than the R cheese. No effect of the tested L. brevis B1 on sensory quality was observed in relation to the control cheeses during 3 months of storage. The results of the research indicate the possibility of using the L. brevis B1 strain for the production of high-quality, potentially probiotic acid-rennet cheeses.

Abstract
The health and balance of the gut microbiota are known to be linked to diet composition and source, with fermented products and dietary proteins potentially providing an exceptional advantage for the gut. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of protein hydrolysis, using a probiotic beverage enriched with either cricket protein (CP) or cricket protein hydrolysates (CP.Hs), on the composition of the gut microbiota of rats. Taxonomic characterization of the gut microbiota in fecal samples was carried out after a 14-day nutritional study to identify modifications induced by a CP- and CP.H-enriched fermented probiotic product. The results showed no significant differences (p > 0.05) in the diversity and richness of the gut microbiota among the groups fed with casein (positive control), CP-enriched, and fermented CP.H-enriched probiotic beverages; however, the overall composition of the microbiota was altered, with significant modifications in the relative abundance of several bacterial families and genera. In addition, fermented CP.H-enriched probiotic beverages could be related to the decrease in the number of potential pathogens such as Enterococcaceae. The association of gut microbiota with the nutritional parameters was determined and the results showed that digestibility and the protein efficiency ratio (PER) were highly associated with the abundance of several taxa.

Abstract
The gut microbiota is the largest and most complex ecosystem consisting of trillions of microorganisms, which influenced by various external factors. As an important probiotic species, Lactobacillus helps to improve gut microbial diversity and composition, underlying potential efficacy in growth performance and disease prevention. However, limited studies have been investigated the relationship between Lactobacillus sakei and intestinal health in dogs. In this study, dogs in the two groups were fed a standard diet (group C, n = 8) and Lactobacillus sakei diet (group P, n = 8), respectively. The growth performance, serum biochemical indices, antioxidant capacity, gut microbiota, and metabolism of dogs in both groups were studied. Results from growth trials showed that L. sakei can significantly improve the growth performance of dogs, including increased weight gain (p < 0.05), serum biochemical indices, i.e., ALP, TP, and ALB (p < 0.05), and better antioxidant capacity, i.e., SOD and GSH-Px (p < 0.05). Significant changes in the gut microbial composition were detected in dogs fed Lactobacillus sakei, as evidenced by an increase in the level of Firmicutes, Spirochaetota, and Patescibacteria, all of them play an important role in maintaining intestinal health. Moreover, a decrease in the level of microorganisms that threaten health, such as Mucispirillum and Clostridium_sensu_stricto_13. The metabolic analysis showed that the Lactobacillus sakei enhanced metabolic pathways such as vitamin B6 metabolism, glutathione metabolism, retinol metabolism, and fatty acid degradation. Our findings suggested that Lactobacillus sakei supplementation had beneficial effects on the growth performance and health status of dogs by improving gut microbiota balance and promoting metabolism. There are an estimated 200 million dogs in China, and the population is continuing to grow at a rapid pace. It is essential to explore an effective way to promote health in dogs. Intestinal diseases, particularly colitis and diarrhea, are common clinical conditions in dogs and are associated with gut microbiota. Lactobacillus sakei, as an important species of probiotics, the relationship between L. sakei and intestinal health in dogs remains unclear. Our study suggests that L. sakei significantly promotes growth performance and health states involving weight gain, regulation of gut microbiota, and metabolism. Overall, our findings shed light on the potential role of L. sakei as an alternative in promoting health in dogs.

Abstract
Muscadine wine has a unique polyphenol profile consisting of anthocyanins, ellagic acids, and flavonols. This study aims to compare the prevention, treatment, and combined activity (P + T) of dealcoholized muscadine wine (DMW) on DSS-induced colitis in mice and its impact on the gut microbiome. Male C57BL/6 mice in the healthy and colitis group received an AIN-93M diet for 28 days. In the prevention, treatment, and P + T (prevention + treatment) groups, mice received an AIN-93M diet containing 2.79% (v/w) DMW on days 1-14, 15-28, and 1-28, respectively. Except for mice in the healthy group, all mice were given water with 2.5% (w/v) DSS on days 8-14 to induce colitis. DMW in all three receiving groups reduced myeloperoxidase activity, histology scores, and phosphorylation of Iκb-α in the colon. Colon shortening, serum IL-6, and colonic mRNA of TNF-α were blunted only in the P + T group. Gut permeability was reduced in the treatment and P + T groups. DMW in P + T group showed higher activity to increase microbiome evenness, modulate β-diversity, elevate the cecal content of SCFAs, and enrich SCFA-producing bacteria, including Lactobacillaceae, Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae, and Peptococcaceae. This was accompanied by a decrease in pathogenic Burkholderiaceae in mice. This study suggests that muscadine wine has partial preventive and therapeutic effects against inflammatory bowel disease. The combination of prevention and treatment using DMW showed better activities than either prevention or treatment.

Abstract
Probiotics represent a promising tool to improve metabolic health, including lipid profiles and cholesterol levels. Modulation of the gut microbiome and the endocannabinoidome - two interrelated systems involved in several metabolic processes influenced by probiotics - has been proposed as a potential mechanism of action. This study establishes the impact of probiotics on metabolic health, gut microbiota composition and endocannabinoidome mediators in an animal model of hypercholesterolaemia. Syrian hamsters were fed either a low-fat low-cholesterol or high-fat high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet to induce hypercholesterolaemia and gavaged for 6 weeks with either Lactobacillus acidophilus CL1285, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CHOL-200 or a combination of the two. Globally, probiotic interventions ameliorated, at least partially, lipid metabolism in HFHC-fed hamsters. The interventions, especially those including L. acidophilus, modified the gut microbiota composition of the small intestine and caecum in ways suggesting reversal of HFHC-induced dysbiosis. Several associations were observed between changes in gut microbiota composition and endocannabinoidome mediators following probiotic interventions and both systems were also associated with improved metabolic health parameters. For instance, potential connexions between the Eubacteriaceae and Deferribacteraceae families, levels of 2‑palmitoylglycerol, 2‑oleoylglycerol, 2‑linoleoylglycerol or 2‑eicosapentaenoylglycerol and improved lipid profiles were found. Altogether, our results suggest a potential crosstalk between gut microbiota and the endocannabinoidome in driving metabolic benefits associated with probiotics, especially those including L. acidophilus, in an animal model of hypercholesterolaemia.
