Tripathy A, Swain N, Padhan P, Raghav SK, Gupta B. Lactobacillus rhamnosus reduces CD8 +T cell mediated inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Immunobiology 2023; 228:152415. [PMID: 37356231 DOI: 10.1016/j.imbio.2023.152415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The T cells, components of adaptive immunity participate in immune pathology of the autoimmune inflammatory disorder called rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The presence of TLRs on the surface of the CD8+ T cells and their ability to recognize bacterial moieties adds to the inflammatory burden in case of RA. It has been reported that the gut microbiome is necessary for the crucial shift in the balance between proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. The altered gut microbiome and the presence of TLRs emphasizes on the microbiome driven inflammatory responses in case of RA. METHODS Eighty-nine RA patients participated in this study. Clinical variations like disease duration, number of actively inflamed joints, number and type of bone deformities, CRP, RF, Anti-CCP, ESR, DAS 28 score were recorded for each patient. Co-culture of CD8+T cells and bacteria has been performed with proper culture condition. TLRs and inflammatory mediators' expression level were checked by both qPCR and flow cytometry analysis. RESULTS We observed in the suppression of pro-inflammatory molecules like Granzyme B and IFNƳ and expression of TLR2 in CD8 + T cells upon treatment with Lactobacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus). Moreover, L. rhamnosus activated CD8+T cells such that they could induce FOXP3 expression in CD4+T cells thereby skewing T cell population towards a regulatory phenotype. On the contrary, TLR4 engagement on CD8+T cell by Escherichia coli (E.coli) increased in inflammatory responses following ERK activation. CONCLUSIONS Thus, we conclude that L. rhamnosus can effectively suppress CD8+T cell mediated inflammation by a simultaneous decrease of Th1 cells that may potentiate better treatment modalities for RA.

LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:life12111910.

Abstract
The intestine barrier, the front line of normal body defense, relies on its structural integrity, microbial composition and barrier immunity. The intestinal mucosal surface is continuously exposed to a complex and dynamic community of microorganisms. Although it occupies a relatively small proportion of the intestinal microbiota, Lactobacilli has been discovered to have a significant impact on the intestine tract in previous studies. It is undeniable that some Lactobacillus strains present probiotic properties through maintaining the micro-ecological balance via different mechanisms, such as mucosal barrier function and barrier immunity, to prevent infection and even to solve some neurology issues by microbiota-gut-brain/liver/lung axis communication. Notably, not only living cells but also Lactobacillus derivatives (postbiotics: soluble secreted products and para-probiotics: cell structural components) may exert antipathogenic effects and beneficial functions for the gut mucosal barrier. However, substantial research on specific effects, safety and action mechanisms in vivo should be done. In clinical application of humans and animals, there are still doubts about the precise evaluation of Lactobacilli's safety, therapeutic effect, dosage and other aspects. Therefore, we provide an overview of central issues on the impacts of Lactobacillus casei (L. casei) and their products on the intestinal mucosal barrier and some diseases and highlight the urgent need for further studies.

Abstract
The increasing incidence of food allergy is becoming a substantial public health concern. Increasing evidence suggests that alterations in the composition of the intestinal microbiota play a part in the development of food allergy. Additionally, the application of probiotics to correct gut microbiota imbalances and regulate food allergy has become a research hotspot. However, the mechanism by which the gut microbiota regulates food allergy and the efficacy of probiotics are still in the preliminary exploration stage, and there are no clear and specific conclusions. The aim of this review is to provide information regarding the immune mechanism underlying food allergy, the correlation between the intestinal microbiota and food allergy, a detailed description of causation, and mechanisms by which the intestinal microbiota regulates food allergy. Subsequently, we highlight how probiotics modulate the gut microbiome–immune axis to alleviate food allergy. This study will contribute to the dovetailing of bacterial therapeutics with immune system in allergic individuals to prevent food allergy and ameliorate food allergy symptoms.

Abstract
β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) allergy in dietary milk seriously affects the use of high-quality milk protein in infants. In order to solve this problem, the expression of miRNA and Th17 cells in milk β-Lg allergic reaction of children's diet was studied. Method: female BALB/c mice aged 5–6 weeks were selected as the subjects and randomly divided into blank group and β-Lg sensitized group, with 10 mice in each group. On the 1st, 7th and 14th day, the mice in the β-Lg sensitized group were intraperitoneally injected with allergen (Freund's adjuvant + β-Lg). Mice in the blank group were given the same amount of normal saline. Blood samples were collected from the eyeballs of mice to determine the number of inflammatory cells. The contents of Th17 related cytokines and transcription factors in spleen were detected by RT-PCR. Results: 1. the number of eosinophils and neutrophils in the β-Lg sensitized group were 15.76/mL and 24.36/mL, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the blank group (P < 0.05); 2. in the mice of β-Lg sensitized group, the expression of miR-146a and miR-155 was abnormal, the number of Th17 cells was abnormally increased, and the expression levels of IL-17 and RORγt were significantly increased; 3. the abnormal expression of miR-146a and miR-155 in the mice of β-Lg sensitized group was positively correlated with the secretion of Th17 related cytokines, which could be used as one of the biological indexes to evaluate allergic reaction. Conclusion: the number of Thl7 increased abnormally in dietary milk allergy patients. miRNA gene expression and IL-17 expression could be used as one of the biological indicators to evaluate the allergic reaction of β-Lg.

Administration of Extensive Hydrolysates From Caseins and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG Probiotic Does Not Prevent Cow's Milk Proteins Allergy in a Mouse Model. Front Immunol 2020; 11:1700. [PMID: 33042105 PMCID: PMC7516991 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2020.01700] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2020] [Accepted: 06/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Early nutrition may influence the development of food allergies later in life. In the absence of breastfeeding, hydrolysates from cow's milk proteins (CMP) were indicated as a prevention strategy in at risk infants, but their proof of effectiveness in clinical and pre-clinical studies is still insufficient. Thanks to a validated mouse model, we then assessed specific and nonspecific preventive effects of administration of extensive hydrolysates from caseins (eHC) on the development of food allergy to CMP. The additional nonspecific effect of the probiotic Lactobacillus GG (LGG), commonly used in infant formula, was also assessed. Methods Groups of young BALB/cByJ female mice were pretreated by repeated gavage either with PBS (control mice), or with PBS solution containing non-hydrolyzed milk protein isolate (MPI), eHC or eHC+LGG (eq. of 10 mg of protein/gavage). All mice were then experimentally sensitized to CMP by gavage with whole CM mixed with the Th2 mucosal adjuvant Cholera toxin. All mice were further chronically exposed to cow's milk. A group of mice was kept naïve. Sensitization to both caseins and to the non-related whey protein β-lactoglobulin (BLG) was evaluated by measuring specific antibodies in plasma and specific ex vivo Th2/Th1/Th17 cytokine secretion. Elicitation of the allergic reaction was assessed by measuring mMCP1 in plasma obtained after oral food challenge (OFC) with CMP. Th/Treg cell frequencies in gut-associated lymphoid tissue and spleen were analyzed by flow cytometry at the end of the protocol. Robust statistical procedure combining non-supervised and supervised multivariate analyses and univariate analyses, was conducted to reveal any effect of the pretreatments. Results PBS pretreated mice were efficiently sensitized and demonstrated elicitation of allergic reaction after OFC, whereas mice pretreated with MPI were durably protected from allergy to CMP. eHC+/-LGG pretreatments had no protective effect on sensitization to casein (specific) or BLG (non-specific), nor on CMP-induced allergic reactions. Surprisingly, eHC+LGG mice demonstrated significantly enhanced humoral and cellular immune responses after sensitization with CMP. Only some subtle changes were evidenced by flow cytometry. Conclusion Neither specific nor nonspecific preventive effects of administration of casein-derived peptides on the development of CMP food allergy were evidenced in our experimental setup. Further studies should be conducted to delineate the mechanisms involved in the immunostimulatory potential of LGG and to clarify its significance in clinical use.

Abstract
Dysbiosis is commonly detected in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), supporting the concept that a dysregulated immune reaction to bacterial antigens has a pathogenic role in the development of intestinal inflammation. In the present study, we have investigated the beneficial effects of a novel probiotic formulation assembled by combining four probiotics (Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis) with Bacillus subtilis, a Gram-positive bacterium, with extensive bio-applications. Mice rendered colitic by administration of TNBS or DSS were administered with Bacillus subtilis alone, Vivomixx® or the novel Five strains formulation. Vivomixx® attenuated the severity of inflammation and reduced the development of signs and symptoms of colitis in both models. Adding Bacillus subtilis to Vivomixx® improved the beneficial effects of the bacterial therapy. The novel Five strains formulation was as effective as Vivomixx® in reducing the development of signs and symptoms of colitis and reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators including Il-6 and Tnf-α while increased the expression of Il-10 mRNA and the number of Treg. In summary, we have shown that a novel Five strains probiotics formulation exerts beneficial effects on two chemical models of colitis, establishing Bacillus subtilis as a probiotic in rodent models of inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Partially hydrolyzed milk formulas have been proposed for primary prevention in at-risk infants, but evidence of their efficiency and elucidation of the underlying mechanisms are still lacking. Thanks to a Th2-biased mouse model mimicking at-risk patients, we aimed to assess the potency of a partially hydrolyzed whey formula (pHWF) to induce oral tolerance thus preventing further cow's milk (CM) allergy. METHODS BALB/c mice were gavaged with pHWF, standard milk formula (SF), or vehicle only (PBS+). All mice were then orally sensitized to CM using cholera toxin and further chronically exposed to CM. Humoral (IgE, IgG1, IgG2a) and cellular (Th2/Th1/Th17 cytokine secretion; frequency of CD4+GATA3+ and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells in the spleen) responses against β-lactoglobulin (BLG) and whole caseins (CAS) were assessed, as well as a marker of elicitation of allergic reaction (mMCP-1) released after an oral challenge with CM. RESULTS All markers of sensitization and of allergic reaction were evidenced in the PBS+ mice and were significantly enhanced upon chronic exposure. Gavage with SF totally and durably prevented sensitization and elicitation of the allergic reaction. Conversely, pre-treatment with pHWF only reduced BLG-specific sensitization (IgE, Th2 cytokines), with no significant effect on sensitization to caseins. However, pHWF pre-treatment significantly reduced mMCP-1 concentration in plasma after CM challenges. CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cell frequency could not be correlated with tolerance efficiency. CONCLUSION Partially hydrolyzed whey formula only partially prevents the further development of CM allergy in this Th2-biased model. A hydrolysate from both whey and casein fractions may be more efficient.

Abstract
Probiotics are commensal or nonpathogenic microbes that confer beneficial effects on the host through several mechanisms such as competitive exclusion, antibacterial effects, and modulation of immune responses. Some probiotics have been found to regulate immune responses via immune regulatory mechanisms. T regulatory (Treg) cells, T helper cell balances, dendritic cells, macrophages, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells can be considered as the most determinant dysregulated mediators in immunomodulatory status. Recently, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been defined as the transfer of distal gut microbial communities from a healthy individual to a patient's intestinal tract to cure some immune disorders (mainly inflammatory bowel diseases). The aim of this review was followed through the recent literature survey on immunomodulatory effects and mechanisms of probiotics and FMT and also efficacy and safety of probiotics and FMT in clinical trials and applications.

Abstract
As a person ages, physiological, immunological and gut microbiome changes collectively result in an array of chronic conditions. According to the 'hygiene hypothesis' the increasing prevalence of immune-mediated disorders may be related to intestinal dysbiosis, leading to immune dysfunction and associated conditions such as eczema, asthma, allergies and autoimmune diseases. Beneficial probiotic bacteria can be utilized by increasing their abundance within the gastrointestinal lumen, which in turn will modulate immune cells, such as, T helper (Th)-1, Th2, Th17, regulatory T (Treg) cells and B cells, which have direct relevance to human health and the pathogenesis of immune disorders. Here, we describe the cross-talk between probiotics and the gastrointestinal immune system, and their effects in relation to inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, allergies and atopic dermatitis.

Growth in Hyper-Concentrated Sweet Whey Triggers Multi Stress Tolerance and Spray Drying Survival in Lactobacillus casei BL23: From the Molecular Basis to New Perspectives for Sustainable Probiotic Production. Front Microbiol 2018; 9:2548.

Abstract
Lactobacillus casei BL23 has a recognized probiotic potential, which includes immune modulation, protection toward induced colitis, toward induced colon cancer and toward dissemination of pathogens. In L. casei, as well as in other probiotics, both probiotic and technological abilities are highly dependent (1) on the substrate used to grow bacteria and (2) on the process used to dry and store this biomass. Production and storage of probiotics, at a reasonable financial and environmental cost, becomes a crucial challenge. Food-grade media must be used, and minimal process is preferred. In this context, we have developed a “2-in-1” medium used both to grow and to dry L. casei BL23, considered a fragile probiotic strain. This medium consists in hyper-concentrated sweet whey (HCSW). L. casei BL23 grows in HCSW up to 30% dry matter, which is 6 times-concentrated sweet whey. Compared to isotonic sweet whey (5% dry matter), these growth conditions enhanced tolerance of L. casei BL23 toward heat, acid and bile salts stress. HCSW also triggered intracellular accumulation of polyphosphate, of glycogen and of trehalose. A gel-free global proteomic differential analysis further evidenced overexpression of proteins involved in pathways known to participate in stress adaptation, including environmental signal transduction, oxidative and metal defense, DNA repair, protein turnover and repair, carbohydrate, phosphate and amino acid metabolism, and in osmoadaptation. Accordingly, HCSW cultures of L. casei BL23 exhibited enhanced survival upon spray drying, a process known to drastically affect bacterial viability. This work opens new perspectives for sustainable production of dried probiotic lactobacilli, using food industry by-products and lowering energy costs.

Abstract
Background Probiotics have been shown to be useful for the treatment of many disease conditions. These beneficial effects are believed to be mediated by change in the composition of gut microbiota and modulation of the host immune responses. However, the available data on the effect of probiotics on these parameters are quite limited. Methods We studied the composition of fecal microbiota, using 16S rRNA sequencing, and host immune responses in peripheral blood (plasma cytokine levels, T cell subsets and in vitro cytokine production after stimulation with anti-CD3/CD28 antibody or lipopolysaccharide) in a group of 14 healthy women at three time-points – before and after administration of a probiotic preparation (a capsule of VSL#3, each containing 112.5 billion freeze-dried bacterial cells belonging to 8 species, twice a day for 4 weeks), and 4-weeks after discontinuation of the probiotic administration. Results There was no change in the abundance of various bacterial taxa as well as in the alpha diversity of gut microbiota following administration of the probiotic, or following its discontinuation. Probiotic administration led to a reduction in the relative frequency of circulating Th17 cells, and in vitro production of cytokines in whole-blood cultures in response to lipopolysaccharide stimulation. However, it had no effect on the relative frequencies of Th1, Th2 and T regulatory cells among circulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells, on plasma cytokine levels and on in vitro production of cytokines by T cells. Conclusions We found that VSL#3 administration did not lead to any changes in gut flora, but led to a reduction in the frequency of Th17 cells and in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine on lipopolysaccharide stimulation. These findings suggest that the beneficial anti-inflammatory effect of this preparation in patients with autoimmune and allergic disorders may be related to reduced production of monocyte-derived cytokines rather than to changes in the composition of gut microbiota. Trial registration NCT03330678, Date of registration 30th October 2017. Retrospectively registered.

Intestinal Immunomodulatory Cells (T Lymphocytes): A Bridge between Gut Microbiota and Diabetes. Mediators Inflamm 2018; 2018:9830939.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most familiar chronic diseases threatening human health. Recent studies have shown that the development of diabetes is closely related to an imbalance of the gut microbiota. Accordingly, there is increasing interest in how changes in the gut microbiota affect diabetes and its underlying mechanisms. Immunomodulatory cells play important roles in maintaining the normal functioning of the human immune system and in maintaining homeostasis. Intestinal immunomodulatory cells (IICs) are located in the intestinal mucosa and are regarded as an intermediary by which the gut microbiota affects physiological and pathological properties. Diabetes can be regulated by IICs, which act as a bridge linking the gut microbiota and DM. Understanding this bridge role of IICs may clarify the mechanisms by which the gut microbiota contributes to DM. Based on recent research, we summarize this process, thereby providing a basis for further studies of diabetes and other similar immune-related diseases.

Abstract
Emerging evidence demonstrates that the microbiota plays an essential role in shaping the development and function of host immune responses. A variety of environmental stimuli, including foods and commensals, are recognized by the host through the epithelium, acting as a physical barrier. Two allergic diseases, atopic dermatitis and food allergy, are closely linked to the microbiota, because inflammatory responses occur on the epidermal border. The microbiota generates metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids and poly-γ-glutamic acid (γPGA), which can modulate host immune responses. Here, we review how microbial metabolites can regulate allergic immune responses. Furthermore, we focus on the effect of γPGA on allergic T helper (Th) 2 responses and its therapeutic application.
