ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:48042-48049. [PMID: 38144080 PMCID: PMC10734025 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c06805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
In the past 50 years, life expectancy has increased by more than 20 years. One consequence of this increase in longevity is the rise of age-related diseases such as dementia. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-70% of cases. AD pathogenesis is not restricted to the neuronal compartment but includes strong interactions with other brain cells, particularly microglia triggering the release of inflammatory mediators, which contribute to disease progression and severity. There is growing evidence revealing the diverse clinical benefits of postbiotics in many prevalent conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we tested the ability of bacterial conditioned media (BCM) derived from selected lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains to regulate core mechanisms relevant to AD pathophysiology in the microglia cell line BV-2. Levilactobacillus brevis CRL 2013, chosen for its efficient production of the neurotransmitter GABA, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis CRL 581, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, were selected alongside Enterococcus mundtii CRL 35, a LAB strain that can significantly modulate cytokine production. BCM from all 3 strains displayed antioxidant capabilities, reducing oxidative stress triggered by beta-amyloid oligomers (oAβ1-42). Additionally, BCM effectively mitigated the expression of inflammatory cytokines, namely, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 triggered by oAβ1-42. Furthermore, our study identified that BCM from CRL 581 inhibit the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), a crucial enzyme in AD progression, in both human erythrocytes and mouse brain tissues. Notably, the inhibitory effect was mediated by low-molecular-weight components of the BCM. L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis CRL 581 emerged as a favorable candidate for production of postbiotics with potential benefits for AD therapy since it demonstrated potent antioxidant activity, reduction of cytokine expression, and partial AChE inhibition. On the other hand, E. mundtii CRL 35 showed that the antioxidant activity failed to inhibit AChE and caused induction of iNOS expression, rendering it unsuitable as a potential therapeutic for AD. This study unveils the potential benefits of LAB-derived postbiotics for the development of new avenues for therapeutic interventions for AD.

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 Peptidoglycan Modulates the Inflammation-Coagulation Response Triggered by Poly(I:C) in the Respiratory Tract. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16907. [PMID: 38069229 PMCID: PMC10707514 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242316907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 beneficially modulates the inflammation-coagulation response during respiratory viral infections. This study evaluated the capacity of the peptidoglycan obtained from the CRL1505 strain (PG-Lr1505) to modulate the immuno-coagulative response triggered by the viral pathogen-associated molecular pattern poly(I:C) in the respiratory tract. Adult BALB/c mice were nasally treated with PG-Lr1505 for two days. Treated and untreated control mice were then nasally challenged with poly(I:C). Mice received three doses of poly(I:C) with a 24 h rest period between each administration. The immuno-coagulative response was studied after the last administration of poly(I:C). The challenge with poly(I:C) significantly increased blood and respiratory pro-inflammatory mediators, decreased prothrombin activity (PT), and increased von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels in plasma. Furthermore, tissue factor (TF), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), and thrombomodulin (TM) expressions were increased in the lungs. PG-Lr1505-treated mice showed significant modulation of hemostatic parameters in plasma (PT in %, Control = 71.3 ± 3.8, PG-Lr1505 = 94.0 ± 4.0, p < 0.01) and lungs. Moreover, PG-Lr1505-treated mice demonstrated reduced TF in F4/80 cells from lungs, higher pro-inflammatory mediators, and increased IL-10 compared to poly(I:C) control mice (IL-10 in pg/mL, Control = 379.1 ± 12.1, PG-Lr1505 = 483.9 ± 11.3, p < 0.0001). These changes induced by PG-Lr1505 correlated with a significant reduction in lung tissue damage. Complementary in vitro studies using Raw 264.7 cells confirmed the beneficial effect of PG-Lr1505 on poly(I:C)-induced inflammation, since increased IL-10 expression, as well as reduced damage, production of inflammatory mediators, and hemostatic parameter expressions were observed. In addition, protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR1) activation in lungs and Raw 264.7 cells was observed after TLR3 stimulation, which was differentially modulated by PG-Lr1505. The peptidoglycan from L. rhamnosus CRL1505 is able to regulate inflammation, the procoagulant state, and PAR1 activation in mice and macrophages in the context of the activation of TLR3 signaling pathways, contributing to a beneficial modulation of inflammation-hemostasis crosstalk.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Strains Modulate Intestinal Innate Immune Response and Increase Resistance to Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Infection. Microorganisms 2022; 11:microorganisms11010063. [PMID: 36677354 PMCID: PMC9863675 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11010063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Currently, probiotic bacteria with not transferable antibiotic resistance represent a sustainable strategy for the treatment and prevention of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in farm animals. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is among the most versatile species used in the food industry, either as starter cultures or probiotics. In the present work, the immunobiotic potential of L. plantarum CRL681 and CRL1506 was studied to evaluate their capability to improve the resistance to ETEC infection. In vitro studies using porcine intestinal epithelial (PIE) cells and in vivo experiments in mice were undertaken. Expression analysis indicated that both strains were able to trigger IL-6 and IL-8 expression in PIE cells in steady-state conditions. Furthermore, mice orally treated with these strains had significantly improved levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α in the intestine as well as enhanced activity of peritoneal macrophages. The ability of CRL681 and CRL1506 to beneficially modulate intestinal immunity was further evidenced in ETEC-challenge experiments. In vitro, the CRL1506 and CRL681 strains modulated the expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6) and chemokines (IL-8, CCL2, CXCL5 and CXCL9) in ETEC-stimulated PIE cells. In vivo experiments demonstrated the ability of both strains to beneficially regulate the immune response against this pathogen. Moreover, the oral treatment of mice with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains significantly reduced ETEC counts in jejunum and ileum and prevented the spread of the pathogen to the spleen and liver. Additionally, LAB treated-mice had improved levels of intestinal IL-10 both at steady state and after the challenge with ETEC. The protective effect against ETEC infection was not observed for the non-immunomodulatory TL2677 strain. Furthermore, the study showed that L. plantarum CRL1506 was more efficient than the CRL681 strain to modulate mucosal immunity highlighting the strain specific character of this probiotic activity. Our results suggest that the improved intestinal epithelial defenses and innate immunity induced by L. plantarum CRL1506 and CRL681 would increase the clearance of ETEC and at the same time, protect the host against detrimental inflammation. These constitute valuable features for future probiotic products able to improve the resistance to ETEC infection.

Celecoxib alleviates denervation-induced muscle atrophy by suppressing inflammation and oxidative stress and improving microcirculation. Biochem Pharmacol 2022; 203:115186. [PMID: 35882305 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2022.115186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Revised: 07/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The molecular mechanism underlying denervation-induced muscle atrophy is complex and incompletely understood. Our previous results suggested that inflammation may play an important role in the early stages of muscle atrophy. Celecoxib is reported to exert anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we explored the effect of celecoxib on denervation-induced muscle atrophy and sought to identify the mechanism involved. We found that celecoxib treatment significantly increased the wet weight ratio and CSA of the tibialisanteriormuscle. Additionally, celecoxib downregulated the levels of COX-2, inflammatory factors and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis indicated that after 3 days of celecoxib treatment in vivo, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly associated with the regulation of immune responses related to complement activation; after 14 days, the DEGs were mainly involved in the regulation of oxidative stress and inflammation-related responses. Celecoxib administration reduced the levels of ROS and oxidative stress-related proteins. Furthermore, we found that celecoxib treatment inhibited the denervation-induced up-regulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy-lysosomal systems related proteins; decreased mitophagy in target muscles; and increased levels of MHC. Finally, celecoxib also attenuated microvascular damage in denervated skeletal muscle. Combined, our findings demonstrated that celecoxib inhibits inflammation and oxidative stress in denervated skeletal muscle, thereby suppressing mitophagy and proteolysis, improving blood flow in target muscles, and, ultimately, alleviating denervation-induced muscle atrophy. Our results confirmed that inflammatory responses play a key role in denervation-induced muscle atrophy and highlight a novel strategy for the prevention and treatment of this condition.
