Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum BG-L47 boosts growth and activity of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 and its extracellular membrane vesicles. Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0024724. [PMID: 38888338 PMCID: PMC11267924 DOI: 10.1128/aem.00247-24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify a Bifidobacterium strain that improves the performance of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938. Initial tests showed that Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum strains boosted the growth of DSM 17938 during in vivo-like conditions. Further characterization revealed that one of the strains, BG-L47, had better bile and acid tolerance compared to BG-L48, as well as mucus adhesion compared to both BG-L48 and the control strain BB536. BG-L47 also had the capacity to metabolize a broad range of carbohydrates and sugar alcohols. Mapping of glycoside hydrolase (GH) genes of BG-L47 and BB536 revealed many GHs associated with plant-fiber utilization. However, BG-L47 had a broader phenotypic fiber utilization capacity. In addition, B. longum subsp. longum cells boosted the bioactivity of extracellular membrane vesicles (MV) produced by L. reuteri DSM 17938 during co-cultivation. Secreted 5'-nucleotidase (5'NT), an enzyme that converts AMP into the signal molecule adenosine, was increased in MV boosted by BG-L47. The MV exerted an improved antagonistic effect on the pain receptor transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and increased the expression of the immune development markers IL-6 and IL-1ß in a peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) model. Finally, the safety of BG-L47 was evaluated both by genome safety assessment and in a human safety study. Microbiota analysis showed that the treatment did not induce significant changes in the composition. In conclusion, B. longum subsp. longum BG-L47 has favorable physiological properties, can boost the in vitro activity of L. reuteri DSM 17938, and is safe for consumption, making it a candidate for further evaluation in probiotic studies. IMPORTANCE By using probiotics that contain a combination of strains with synergistic properties, the likelihood of achieving beneficial interactions with the host can increase. In this study, we first performed a broad screening of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum strains in terms of synergistic potential and physiological properties. We identified a superior strain, BG-L47, with favorable characteristics and potential to boost the activity of the known probiotic strain Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938. Furthermore, we demonstrated that BG-L47 is safe for consumption in a human randomized clinical study and by performing a genome safety assessment. This work illustrates that bacteria-bacteria interactions differ at the strain level and further provides a strategy for finding and selecting companion strains of probiotics.

Abstract
Both sensory neurons and immune cells, albeit at markedly different levels, express the vanilloid (capsaicin) receptor, Transient Receptor Potential, Vanilloid-1 (TRPV1). Activation of TRPV1 channels in sensory afferent nerve fibers induces local effector functions by releasing neuropeptides (most notably, substance P) which, in turn, trigger neurogenic inflammation. There is good evidence that chronic activation or inactivation of this inflammatory pathway can modify tumor growth and metastasis. TRPV1 expression was also demonstrated in a variety of mammalian immune cells, including lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages and neutrophils. Therefore, the effects of TRPV1 agonists and antagonists may vary depending on the prominent cell type(s) activated and/or inhibited. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of TRPV1 activity on immune cells and nerve endings in distinct locations is necessary to predict the outcome of therapies targeting TRPV1 channels. Here, we review the neuro-immune modulation of cancer growth and metastasis, with focus on the consequences of TRPV1 activation in nerve fibers and immune cells. Lastly, the potential use of TRPV1 modulators in cancer therapy is discussed.

Abstract
Significance: Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are cation-gated channels that serve as detectors of various sensory modalities, such as pain, heat, cold, and taste. These channels are expressed in the inner ear, suggesting that they could also contribute to the perception of sound. This review provides more details on the different types of TRP channels that have been identified in the cochlea to date, focusing on their cochlear distribution, regulation, and potential contributions to auditory functions. Recent Advances: To date, the effect of TRP channels on normal cochlear physiology in mammals is still unclear. These channels contribute, to a limited extent, to normal cochlear physiology such as the hair cell mechanoelectrical transduction channel and strial functions. More detailed information on a number of these channels in the cochlea awaits future studies. Several laboratories focusing on TRPV1 channels have shown that they are responsive to cochlear stressors, such as ototoxic drugs and noise, and regulate cytoprotective and/or cell death pathways. TRPV1 expression in the cochlea is under control of oxidative stress (produced primarily by NOX3 NADPH oxidase) as well as STAT1 and STAT3 transcription factors, which differentially modulate inflammatory and apoptotic signals in the cochlea. Inhibition of oxidative stress or inflammation reduces the expression of TRPV1 channels and protects against cochlear damage and hearing loss. Critical Issues: TRPV1 channels are activated by both capsaicin and cisplatin, which produce differential effects on the inner ear. How these differential actions are produced is yet to be determined. It is clear that TRPV1 is an essential component of cisplatin ototoxicity as knockdown of these channels protects against hearing loss. In contrast, activation of TRPV1 by capsaicin protected against subsequent hearing loss induced by cisplatin. The cellular targets that are influenced by these two drugs to account for their differential profiles need to be fully elucidated. Furthermore, the potential involvement of different TRP channels present in the cochlea in regulating cisplatin ototoxicity needs to be determined. Future Directions: TRPV1 has been shown to mediate the entry of aminoglycosides into the hair cells. Thus, novel otoprotective strategies could involve designing drugs to inhibit entry of aminoglycosides and possibly other ototoxins into cochlear hair cells. TRP channels, including TRPV1, are expressed on circulating and resident immune cells. These receptors modulate immune cell functions. However, whether they are activated by cochlear stressors to initiate cochlear inflammation and ototoxicity needs to be determined. A better understanding of the function and regulation of these TRP channels in the cochlea could enable development of novel treatments for treating hearing loss. Antioxid.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential channels have responsibilities in many cellular processes such as cytokine production, cell differentiation, and cytotoxicity by affecting intracellular cation levels or intracellular signal pathways. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune central nervous system (CNS) disease caused by environmental and genetic factors. In this study, we aim to investigate TRPV1-TRPV4, TRPM2, TRPM4, TRPM7, TRPC6, and TRPA1 mRNA expression levels, which are associated with the inflammatory process, in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients. Thirty-five healthy controls and age-gender matched thirty patients with RRMS were involved in the study. TRPC6, TRPA1, TRPM2, TRPM4, TRPM7, TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV3, and TRPV4 PBMCs mRNA expression levels were determined by qPCR. In the present study, the TRPC6, TRPM7, TRPV1, TRPV3, and TRPV4 mRNA expressions of RRMS patients in PBMCs decreased at a significant level compared to the healthy control group (p = .000, p = .000, p = .044, p = .000, p = .004, respectively). The decreased expression of TRPC6, TRPM7, TRPV1, TRPV3, and TRPV4 in PBMCs may be associated with the pathogenesis of MS. Further studies are required to understand the mechanism of the relation between these TRP channels and MS and other autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
5,6-dihydroxy-8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (5,6-DiHETE) is an eicosapentaenoic acid-derived lipid metabolite, which we previously detected in inflamed mouse colon. In this study, we investigated the pathophysiological roles of 5,6-DiHETE in murine colitis and its underlying mechanisms of action, focusing on the effects on transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channel activity. Oral administration of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS, 2%, for 4 days) caused colon inflammation, which peaked on day 7 and gradually declined by day 18. 5,6-DiHETE concentration in colon tissue was significantly increased during the healing phase of colitis (days 9 to 18). In vitro study showed that pretreatment with 5,6-DiHETE (0.1-1 μM, 30 minutes) significantly inhibited endothelial barrier disruption induced by a TRPV4 agonist (GSK1016790A, 50 nM). Intracellular Ca2+ imaging also showed that pretreatment with 5,6-DiHETE (1 μM, 10 minutes) reduced GSK1016790A-induced intracellular Ca2+ increase in HEK293T cells overexpressing TRPV4. In vivo, intraperitoneal administration of 5,6-DiHETE (50 µg kg-1 day-1 ) during the healing phase accelerated the recovery from DSS-induced colitis. Pathological studies showed that the administration of 5,6-DiHETE inhibited edema formation and leukocyte infiltration in inflamed colon tissue. In conclusion, we identified 5,6-DiHETE as a novel endogenous TRPV4 antagonist, and we also demonstrated that its administration promotes the healing of colitis by inhibiting inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a virus that induces pathogenic inflammatory host immune responses, is re-emerging worldwide, and there are currently no established antiviral control measures. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a non-selective Ca2+-permeable ion channel, has been found to regulate various host inflammatory responses including several viral infections. Immune responses to CHIKV infection in host macrophages have been reported recently. However, the possible involvement of TRPV1 during CHIKV infection in host macrophages has not been studied. Here, we investigated the possible role of TRPV1 in CHIKV infection of the macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. It was found that CHIKV infection upregulates TRPV1 expression in macrophages. To confirm this observation, the TRPV1-specific modulators 5'-iodoresiniferatoxin (5'-IRTX, a TRPV1 antagonist) and resiniferatoxin (RTX, a TRPV1 agonist) were used. Our results indicated that TRPV1 inhibition leads to a reduction in CHIKV infection, whereas TRPV1 activation significantly enhances CHIKV infection. Using a plaque assay and a time-of-addition assay, it was observed that functional modulation of TRPV1 affects the early stages of the viral lifecycle in RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, CHIKV infection was found to induce of pNF-κB (p65) expression and nuclear localization. However, both activation and inhibition of TRPV1 were found to enhance the expression and nuclear localization of pNF-κB (p65) and production of pro-inflammatory TNF and IL-6 during CHIKV infection. In addition, it was demonstrated by Ca2+ imaging that TRPV1 regulates Ca2+ influx during CHIKV infection. Hence, the current findings highlight a potentially important regulatory role of TRPV1 during CHIKV infection in macrophages. This study might also have broad implications in the context of other viral infections as well.

Abstract
The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) consists of consumption of vegetables and healthy oils and have beneficial effects on metabolic and inflammatory diseases. Our goal here is to discuss the role of fatty acid content in MedDiet, mostly omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 on malaria. Malaria affects millions of people around the globe. The parasite Plasmodium causes the disease. The metabolic and inflammatory alterations in the severe forms have damaging consequences to the host. The lipid content in the MedDiet holds anti-inflammatory and pro-resolutive features in the host and have detrimental effects on the Plasmodium. The lipids from the diet impact the balance of pro- and anti-inflammation, thus, lipids intake from the diet is critical to parasite elimination and host tissue damage caused by an immune response. Herein, we go into the cellular and molecular mechanisms and targets of the MedDiet fatty acids in the host and the parasite, reviewing potential benefits of the MedDiet, on inflammation, malaria infection progression, and clinical outcome.

Abstract
Process of inflammation and complex interactions between immune and cancer cells within tumor microenvironment are known to drive and shape the outcome of the neoplastic disease. Recent studies increasingly show that ion channels can be used as potential targets to modulate immune response and to treat inflammatory disorders and cancer. The action of both innate and adaptive immune cells is tightly regulated by ionic signals provided by a network of distinct ion channels. TRPV1 channel, known as a capsaicin receptor, was recently documented to be expressed on the cells of the immune system but also aberrantly expressed in the several tumor types. It is activated by heat, protons, proinflammatory cytokines, and associated with pain and inflammation. TRPV1 channel is not only involved in calcium signaling fundamental for many cellular processes but also takes part in cell-environment crosstalk influencing cell behavior. Furthermore, in several studies, activation of TRPV1 by capsaicin was associated with anti-cancer effects. Therefore, TRPV1 provides a potential link between the process of inflammation, cancer and immunity, and offers new treatment possibilities. Nevertheless, in many cases, results regarding TRPV1 are contradictory and need further refinement. In this review we present the summary of the data related to the role of TRPV1 channel in the process of inflammation, cancer and immunity, limitations of the studies, and directions for future research.

TRPV1 Contributes to Cerebral Malaria Severity and Mortality by Regulating Brain Inflammation. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:9451671.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a Ca+2-permeable channel expressed on neuronal and nonneuronal cells, known as an oxidative stress sensor. It plays a protective role in bacterial infection, and recent findings indicate that this receptor modulates monocyte populations in mice with malaria; however, its role in cerebral malaria progression and outcome is unclear. By using TRPV1 wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice, the importance of TRPV1 to this cerebral syndrome was investigated. Infection with Plasmodium berghei ANKA decreased TRPV1 expression in the brain. Mice lacking TRPV1 were protected against Plasmodium-induced mortality and morbidity, a response that was associated with less cerebral swelling, modulation of the brain expression of endothelial tight-junction markers (junctional adhesion molecule A and claudin-5), increased oxidative stress (via inhibition of catalase activity and increased levels of H2O2, nitrotyrosine, and carbonyl residues), and diminished production of cytokines. Plasmodium load was not significantly affected by TRPV1 ablation. Repeated subcutaneous administration of the selective TRPV1 antagonist SB366791 after malaria induction increased TRPV1 expression in the brain tissue and enhanced mouse survival. These data indicate that TRPV1 channels contribute to the development and outcome of cerebral malaria.

Abstract
Around the globe, worsening air pollution is spawning major public health and environmental concerns, especially in the poorest and most populous cities. As a major secondary air pollutant, ozone is a potential risk factor for exacerbated asthma, although the underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. In this study, we aim to investigate the role of ozone on asthma exacerbation using a classic asthmatic model with allergic airway inflammation by treating Balb/c mice with ovalbumin (OVA). Our study shows ozone exposure significantly exacerbated OVA-induced asthmatic phenotypes, including serum immunoglobulin, Th cytokines, inflammatory cell counts, mucus production, airway remodeling, and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). Interestingly, expression of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member1 (TRPV1) was also significantly elevated in ozone-exacerbated asthmatic mice and that treatment with TRPV1 antagonist effectively suppressed AHR, airway inflammation and remodeling. The underlying mechanisms of these effects may be associated with suppression of neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), an epithelial cell-derived cytokine. Base on the role of TRPV1 in allergic asthma, this study further revealed that inhibition of TRPV1 by TRPV1 antagonist has significant anti-inflammatory effects on ozone-induced asthma exacerbation in this study. Induction of TRPV1 expression may be an important mechanism underlying the increased risks for asthma after exposure to environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Capsazepine is a synthetic analogue of capsaicin that can function as an antagonist of TRPV1. Capsazepine can exhibit diverse effects on cancer (prostate cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, oral cancer, and osteosarcoma) growth and survival, and can be therapeutically used against other major disorders such as colitis, pancreatitis, malaria, and epilepsy. Capsazepine has been reported to exhibit pleiotropic anti-cancer effects against numerous tumor cell lines. Capsazepine can modulate Janus activated kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of the transcription (STAT) pathway, intracellular Ca2+ concentration, and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-JNK-CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) pathways. It can inhibit cell proliferation, metastasis, and induce apoptosis. Moreover, capsazepine can exert anti-inflammatory effects through the downregulation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nuclear transcription factor-kappa B (NF-κB), as well as the blockage of activation of both transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) and transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily A, and member 1 (TRPA1). This review briefly summarizes the diverse pharmacological actions of capsazepine against various cancers and inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 channel (TRPV1), as a ligand-gated non-selective cation channel, has recently been demonstrated to have wide expression in the neuro-immune axis, where its multiple functions occur through regulation of both neuronal and non-neuronal activities. Growing evidence has suggested that TRPV1 is functionally expressed in glial cells, especially in the microglia and astrocytes. Glial cells perform immunological functions in response to pathophysiological challenges through pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in which TRPV1 is involved. Sustaining inflammation might mediate a positive feedback loop of neuroinflammation and exacerbate neurological disorders. Accumulating evidence has suggested that TRPV1 is closely related to immune responses and might be recognized as a molecular switch in the neuroinflammation of a majority of seizures and neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we evidenced that inflammation modulates the expression and activity of TRPV1 in the central nervous system (CNS) and TRPV1 exerts reciprocal actions over neuroinflammatory processes. Together, the literature supports the hypothesis that TRPV1 may represent potential therapeutic targets in the neuro-immune axis.

Abstract
A complex network of many interacting mechanisms orchestrates immune and inflammatory responses. Among these, the cation channels of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family expressed by resident tissue cells, inflammatory and immune cells and distinct subsets of primary sensory neurons, have emerged as a novel and interrelated system to detect and respond to harmful agents. TRP channels, by means of their direct effect on the intracellular levels of cations and/or through the indirect modulation of a large series of intracellular pathways, orchestrate a range of cellular processes, such as cytokine production, cell differentiation and cytotoxicity. The contribution of TRP channels to the transition of inflammation and immune responses from a defensive early response to a chronic and pathological condition is also emerging as a possible underlying mechanism in various diseases. This review discusses the roles of TRP channels in inflammatory and immune cell function and provides an overview of the effects of inflammatory and immune TRP channels on the pathogenesis of human diseases.
