Abstract
The urgent task of creating new, enhanced adjuvants is closely related to our comprehension of their mechanisms of action. A few adjuvants have shown sufficient efficacy and low toxicity to be allowed for use in human vaccines, despite the fact that they have a long history and an important function. Adjuvants have long been used without a clear understanding of how precisely they augment the immune response. The rational production of stronger and safer adjuvants has been impeded by this lack of information, which necessitates more mechanistic research to support the development of vaccines. Carbohydrate structures-polygalactans, fructans, β-D-glucans, α-D-glucans, D-galactose, and D-glucose-are desirable candidates for the creation of vaccine adjuvants and immunomodulators because they serve important functions in nature and are often biocompatible, safe, and well tolerated. In this review, we have discussed recent advances in microbial-derived carbohydrate-based adjuvants, their immunostimulatory activity, and the implications of this for vaccine development, along with the critical view on the microbial sources, chemical composition, and biosynthetic pathways.

Abstract
Allergic diseases, derived from the dysregulation of immune tolerance mechanisms, have been rising in the last two decades. Recently, increasing evidence has shown that probiotic-derived polysaccharide capsules exhibit a protective effect against allergic diseases, involving regulation of Th1/Th2 balance, induction of differentiation of T regulatory cells and activation of dendritic cells (DCs). DCs have a central role in controlling the immune response through their interaction with gut microbiota via their pattern recognition receptors, including Toll-like receptors and C-type-lectin receptors. This review discusses the effects and critical mechanism of probiotic-derived polysaccharide capsules in regulating the immune system to alleviate allergic diseases. We first describe the development of immune response in allergic diseases and recent relevant findings. Particular emphasis is placed on the effects of probiotic-derived polysaccharide capsules on allergic immune response. Then, we discuss the underlying mechanism of the impact of probiotic-derived polysaccharide capsules on DCs-mediated immune tolerance induction.

Role of Lipoteichoic Acid from the Genus Apilactobacillus in Inducing a Strong IgA Response. Appl Environ Microbiol 2022; 88:e0019022.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacterium-containing fermentates provide beneficial health effects by regulating the immune response. A naturally fermented vegetable beverage, a traditional Japanese food, reportedly provides health benefits; however, the beneficial function of its bacteria has not been clarified. Apilactobacillus kosoi is the predominant lactic acid bacterium in the beverage. Using murine Peyer's patch cells, we compared the immunoglobulin A (IgA)-inducing activity of A. kosoi 10HT to those of 29 other species of lactic acid bacteria and found that species belonging to the genus Apilactobacillus (A. kosoi 10HT, A. apinorum JCM30765T, and A. kunkeei JCM16173T) possessed significantly higher activity than the others. Thereafter, lipoteichoic acids (LTAs), important immunostimulatory molecules of Gram-positive bacteria, were purified from the three Apilactobacillus species, and their IgA-inducing activity was compared to those of LTAs from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum JCM1149T and a probiotic strain, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG. The results revealed that LTAs from Apilactobacillus species had significantly higher activity than others. We also compared the LTA structure of A. kosoi 10HT with that of L. plantarum JCM1149T and L. rhamnosus GG. Although d-alanine or both d-alanine and carbohydrate residues were substituents of free hydroxyl groups in the polyglycerol phosphate structure in LTAs from strains JCM1149T and GG, d-alanine residues were not found in LTA from strain 10HT by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis of the glycolipid structure of LTA revealed that LTA from strain 10HT contained dihexosyl glycerol, whereas trihexosyl glycerol was detected in LTAs from other strains. These structural differences may be related to differences in IgA-inducing activity. IMPORTANCE The components of lactic acid bacteria that exert immunostimulatory effects are of increasing interest for therapeutic and prophylactic options, such as alternatives to antibiotics, cognitive enhancements, and vaccine adjuvants. LTAs act as immunostimulatory molecules in the host innate immune system by interacting with pattern recognition receptors. However, as LTA structures differ among species, detailed knowledge of the structure-function relationship for immunostimulatory effects is required. Comparisons of the IgA-inducing activity of LTAs have demonstrated that LTAs from the genus Apilactobacillus possess distinctive activities to stimulate mucosal immunity. The first analysis of the LTA structure from the genus Apilactobacillus suggests that it differs from structures of LTAs of related species of lactic acid bacteria. This knowledge is expected to aid in the development of functional foods containing lactic acid bacteria and pharmaceutical applications of immunostimulatory molecules from lactic acid bacteria.

Abstract
We analyzed the mechanisms underlying enhanced IgA production in the cells of Peyer's patch cells via membrane vesicles derived from Lactobacillus sakei subsp. sakei NBRC 15893. Depletion of CD11c+ cells from Peyer's patch cells suppressed the enhanced IgA production mediated by membrane vesicles. Meanwhile, the stimulation of bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells with membrane vesicles increased gene expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, retinaldehyde dehydrogenase 2, and several inflammatory cytokines. The production of nitric oxide and interleukin (IL)-6 by membrane vesicle stimulation was induced via Toll-like receptor 2 on bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. Inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase and retinaldehyde dehydrogenase 2, as well as the neutralization of IL-6 in Peyer's patch cells, suppressed the enhanced IgA production by membrane vesicle stimulation. Hence, nitric oxide, retinoic acid, and IL-6 induced by membrane vesicles play crucial roles in the enhanced IgA production elicited by membrane vesicles in Peyer's patch cells.

Abstract
The major etiologic agent that causes acute gastroenteritis worldwide in young animals and children is Group A rotavirus. Currently, commercially available vaccines do not often prevent porcine rotavirus (PRV) infection. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of oral recombinant Lactobacillus vaccine against PRV in a mouse model. Lactobacillus plantarum NC8 was used as the host strain, and bacterial vectors were constructed, because the NC8 isolated has shown the capability to survive gastric transit and to colonize the intestinal tract of humans and other mammals. To explore the immunological mechanisms, lactic acid bacterial vectors were used to express VP7 antigen from PRV. We constructed an L. plantarum strain with surface-displayed VP7, named NC8-pSIP409-pgsA-VP7-DCpep. The expressed recombinant protein had a molecular weight of ∼37 kDa. The strain was used to immunize BALB/c mice to evaluate their immunomodulatory characteristics. Mice were orally immunized with recombinant L. plantarum NC8-pSIP409-pgsA-VP7-DCpep at a dose of 2 × 109 colony forming units/200 µl. The results showed that NC8-pSIP409-pgsA-VP7-DCpep significantly stimulated the differentiation of dendritic cells (DCs) in Peyer's patches (PPs) and increased the serum levels of IL-4 and IFN-γ, as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in mice treated with NC8-pSIP409-pgsA-VP7-DCpep. Compared to the empty vector group, NC8-pSIP409-pgsA-VP7-DCpep significantly increased the production of B220+ B cells in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) and PPs and also increased the titer levels of the VP7-specific antibodies, including IgG and sIgA. The administration of NC8-pSIP409-pgsA-VP7-DCpep mediated relatively broad cellular responses. This study reveals that clear alternatives exist for PRV control strategies and provides information on PRV infection.

Enzymatically synthesized exopolysaccharide of a probiotic strain Leuconostoc mesenteroides NTM048 shows adjuvant activity to promote IgA antibody responses. Gut Microbes 2021; 13:1949097.

Abstract
Leuconostoc mesenteroides strain NTM048 produces an exopolysaccharide (EPS; glucose polymers 94% and fructose polymers 6%) with adjuvanticity for mucosal vaccination. Strain NTM048 includes three putative EPS-synthesizing genes, gtf1 and gtf2 for synthesizing glucose polymers, and lvnS for synthesizing fructose polymer. To elucidate the key polymer structure for adjuvanticity, two genes, gtf1 and gtf2, which were annotated as glycoside hydrolase family 70 enzyme genes, were expressed in Escherichia coli. Glycosyl-linkage composition analysis and NMR analysis showed that the recombinant enzyme Gtf1 produced a soluble form of α-1,6-glucan, whereas the recombinant enzyme Gtf2 produced glucans with approximately equal percentages of α-1,6- and α-1,3-glucose residues both in the supernatant (S-glucan) and as a precipitate (P-glucan). Comparison of polysaccharides synthesized by Gtf1, Gtf2, and LvnS revealed that Gtf2-S-glucan, which was produced in the supernatant by Gtf2 and formed particles of 7.8 µm, possessed 1.8-fold higher ability to stimulate IgA production from murine Peyer's patch cells than native NTM048 EPS. Evaluation of adjuvanticity by intranasal administration of mice with an antigen (ovalbumin) and Gtf2-S-glucan or NTM048 EPS showed that Gtf2-S-glucan induced the production of higher antigen-specific antibodies in the airway mucosa and plasma, suggesting a pivotal role of Gtf2-S-glucan in the adjuvanticity of NTM048 EPS.

Abstract
Recently many researchers have revealed that certain lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have beneficial effects on the immune system. Understanding the mechanisms of how certain LAB induce
immunomodulatory functions is important for the development of food ingredients that improve our health. Lactobacillus plantarum OLL2712 has been shown to induce production
of interleukin (IL)-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, by murine in vitro-induced dendritic cells (DCs) and peritoneal macrophages. However, it is probable that in
vitro-induced DCs have different properties compared with intestinal DCs, and the effects of the LAB on intestinal DCs are not fully understood. In this report, we investigated
whether L. plantarum OLL2712 had efficacy for inducing intestinal DCs to produce IL-10 in vitro and whether oral administration of the bacteria induced the
same effect. Co-culture of L. plantarum OLL2712 with purified DCs from the mesenteric lymph node (MLN) or Peyer’s patch (PP) elevated IL-10 mRNA expression and protein
production by both kinds of DCs. Addition of the LAB enhanced IL-10 production by T cells during antigen-specific responses in co-culture of MLN or PP DCs and T cells. Oral administration of
L. plantarum OLL2712 for 6 days increased IL-10 gene expression in MLN DCs, and upregulated IL-10 gene expression in PP DCs was observed 12 hr after oral administration of
the LAB. Our results suggested that L. plantarum OLL2712 could modulate immune responses by enhancing IL-10 production from intestinal DCs.

Abstract
Recombinant lactic acid bacteria (LAB), especially Lactococcus lactis, have been genetically engineered to express heterogeneous invasion proteins, such as the fibronectin binding protein A (FnBPA) from Staphylococcus aureus, to increase the invasion ability of the host strains, indicating a promising approach for DNA vaccine delivery. The presence of FnBPA has been also shown to be an adjuvant for co-delivered antigens, however, the underlying mechanisms are still not clear. To explore the above underlying mechanisms, in this study, we constructed a novel Lactobacillus plantarum strain with surface displayed FnBPA, which could significantly improve the adhesion and invasion ratios of L. plantarum strain on a porcine intestinal epithelial cell line (IPEC-J2) about two-fold compared with the empty vector. At the same time, the presence of FnBPA significantly stimulated the differentiation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) and increased the secretion of interleukin (IL)-6 and mRNA level of IL-6 gene, which were proved by flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). With regard to in vivo study, the presence of FnBPA significantly stimulated the differentiation of DCs in the Peyer's patch (PP) and the percentages of IL-4+ and IL-17A+ T helper (Th) cells of splenocytes in flow cytometry assay. In consistent with these results, the levels of IL-4 and IL-17A in serum as measured via ELISA also increased in mice treated with FnBPA+ L. plantarum. Finally, the FnBPA strain increased the production of B220+ B cells in mesenteric lymph node (MLN) and PP and the levels of FnBPA-specific IgG and sIgA antibodies, indicating the its possible application in vaccine field. This study demonstrated that the invasive L. plantarum with surface displayed FnBPA could modulate host immune response by stimulating the differentiation of DCs and Th cells which could possibly be responsive for the adjuvant effects of FnBPA.

Abstract
High molar mass exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced from sucrose by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are of great interest as natural additives to use in foods, medical and pharmaceutical industry. This study aimed to identify the EPS produced by Leuconostoc citreum L3C1E7 isolated from Pico cheese and characterize the strain for technological and probiotic potential. Purified EPS was isolated from the culture of L. citreum L3C1E7 by ethanol precipitation, with a yield of 520 mg ml-1 . The EPS-producing strain had a mucoid phenotype and average molecular weight of 5·88 × 106 Da. The structural characterization of the purified EPS was determined by 1 H, 13 C and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. EPS was composed of alternating α-(1→6)-linked and α-(1→3)-linked D-glucopyranyl units, suggesting the existence of an alternan. The strain was slow acidifying, produced diacetyl and displayed high esterase/lipase and aminopeptidase activities, which promote the desirable flavours in dairy products. Moreover, L. citreum showed moderate resistance to the adverse conditions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and high adhesion to GI cells. This work provides a better understanding of EPS produced by L. citreum and the potential application of EPS-producing strain in food and/or as a probiotic culture. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Some LAB strains are known to use extracellular glycoside-hydrolase enzymes for synthesizing a diversity of exopolysaccharides (EPS) with potential application as natural additives to foods. Previous studies have identified an EPS-producing Leuconostoc citreum strain with immunomodulatory properties. This work provides a better understanding of EPS produced by this strain and the potential application of the strain in food fermentation and/or as a probiotic culture.
