Recombinant probiotic Lactococcus lactis delivering P62 mitigates moderate colitis in mice. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1309160. [PMID: 38680913 PMCID: PMC11047439 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1309160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction and objective p62 is a human multifunctional adaptor protein involved in key cellular processes such as tissue homeostasis, inflammation, and cancer. It acts as a negative regulator of inflammasome complexes. It may thus be considered a good candidate for therapeutic use in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as colitis. Probiotics, including recombinant probiotic strains producing or delivering therapeutic biomolecules to the host mucosal surfaces, could help prevent and mitigate chronic intestinal inflammation. The objective of the present study was to combine the intrinsic immunomodulatory properties of the probiotic Lactococcus lactis NCDO2118 with its ability to deliver health-promoting molecules to enhance its protective and preventive effects in the context of ulcerative colitis (UC). Material and methods This study was realized in vivo in which mice were supplemented with the recombinant strain. The intestinal barrier function was analyzed by monitoring permeability, secretory IgA total levels, mucin expression, and tight junction genes. Its integrity was evaluated by histological analyses. Regarding inflammation, colonic cytokine levels, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and expression of key genes were monitored. The intestinal microbiota composition was investigated using 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing. Results and discussion No protective effect of L. lactis NCDO2118 pExu:p62 was observed regarding mice clinical parameters compared to the L. lactis NCDO2118 pExu: empty. However, the recombinant strain, expressing p62, increased the goblet cell counts, upregulated Muc2 gene expression in the colon, and downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines Tnf and Ifng when compared to L. lactis NCDO2118 pExu: empty and inflamed groups. This recombinant strain also decreased colonic MPO activity. No difference in the intestinal microbiota was observed between all treatments. Altogether, our results show that recombinant L. lactis NCDO2118 delivering p62 protein protected the intestinal mucosa and mitigated inflammatory damages caused by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). We thus suggest that p62 may constitute part of a therapeutic approach targeting inflammation.

Propionibacterium freudenreichii CIRM-BIA 129 mitigates colitis through S layer protein B-dependent epithelial strengthening. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 2024; 326:G163-G175. [PMID: 37988603 DOI: 10.1152/ajpgi.00198.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
The growing incidence of human diseases involving inflammation and increased gut permeability makes the quest for protective functional foods more crucial than ever. Propionibacterium freudenreichii (P. freudenreichii) is a beneficial bacterium used in the dairy and probiotic industries. Selected strains exert anti-inflammatory effects, and the present work addresses whether the P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129, consumed daily in a preventive way, could protect mice from acute colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS), and more precisely, whether it could protect from intestinal epithelial breakdown induced by inflammation. P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129 mitigated colitis severity and inhibited DSS-induced permeability. It limited crypt length reduction and promoted the expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), without reducing interleukin-1β mRNA (il-1β) expression. In vitro, P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129 prevented the disruption of a Caco-2 monolayer induced by proinflammatory cytokines. It increased transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and inhibited permeability induced by inflammation, along with an increased ZO-1 expression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129, carrying the surface layer protein (SlpB), reproduced the protective effect of P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129. A mutant strain deleted for slpB (ΔslpB), or EVs from this mutant strain, had lost their protective effects and worsened both DSS-induced colitis and inflammation in vivo. These results shown that P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129 daily consumption has the potential to greatly alleviate colitis symptoms and, particularly, to counter intestinal epithelial permeability induced by inflammation by restoring ZO-1 expression through mechanisms involving S-layer protein B. They open new avenues for the use of probiotic dairy propionibacteria and/or postbiotic fractions thereof, in the context of gut permeability.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Propionibacterium freudenreichii reduces dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced intestinal permeability in vivo. P. freudenreichii does not inhibit inflammation but damages linked to inflammation. P. freudenreichii inhibits intestinal epithelial breakdown through S-layer protein B. The protective effects of P. freudenreichii depend on S-layer protein B. Extracellular vesicles from P. freudenreichii CB 129 mimic the protective effect of the probiotic.

Abstract
Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis exhibits probiotic properties in humans. Considering that Caenorhabditis elegans can be used to study the effects of microorganisms on animal behavior, owing to its simple nervous system, we assessed the impacts of two strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. Lactis-a non-nisin-producing strain, NBRC 100933 (LL100933), and a nisin-producing strain, NBRC 12007 (LL12007)-on the lifespan, locomotion, reproductive capacity of, and lipid accumulation in, C. elegans. The lifespan of adult C. elegans fed a mixture (1:1) of Escherichia coli OP50 and LL100933 or LL12007 did not show a significant increase compared to that of the group fed a standard diet of E. coli OP50. However, the nematodes fed Lactococcus strains showed notable enhancement in their locomotion at all of the tested ages. Further, the beneficial effects of LL100933 and LL12007 were observed in the daf-16 mutants, but not in the skn-1 and pmk-1 mutants. The lipid accumulation in the worms of the Lactococcus-fed group was lower than that in the control group at all experimental ages. Overall, LL100933 and LL12007 enhance the locomotor behavior of C. elegans, likely by modulating the PMK-1/p38 MAPK and SKN-1/Nrf2 transcription factors.

[PMID: 36379940 PMCID: PMC9666507 DOI: 10.1038/s41538-022-00169-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Probiotics are increasingly used as adjunctive therapy to manage gastrointestinal diseases, such as ulcerative colitis. However, probiotic use has posed some safety concerns. Thus, postbiotics are proposed as alternatives to probiotics in clinical applications. However, no study has directly compared the clinical benefits of probiotics and postbiotics. This study compared the beneficial effect of postbiotics and probiotics derived from the strain, Bifidobacterium adolescentis B8598, in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced experimental colitis mouse model. Four groups of mice (n = 7 per group) were included in this work: Control (received water plus saline), DSS (received DSS without postbiotic/probiotic), Postbiotic (received DSS plus postbiotic), and Probiotic (received DSS plus probiotic). Our results showed that intragastric administration of both probiotic and postbiotic ameliorated colitis, reflected by decreased histology scores in Postbiotic and Probiotic groups compared with DSS group (P < 0.05). The fecal microbiota alpha diversity was not significantly affected by DSS-, postbiotic, or probiotic treatment. However, the postbiotic treatment showed stronger effects on modulating the fecal microbiota beta diversity, composition, and metagenomic potential than the probiotic treatment. Overall, our findings suggested that probiotics and postbiotics had similar ability to improve disease phenotype but had distinct ability to regulate the gut microbiota and metabolic pathways in the context of ulcerative colitis. In view of the smaller safety concern of postbiotics compared with probiotics and its stronger modulatory effect on the host gut microbiota, we propose that postbiotics are to be considered for use as next-generation biotherapeutics in managing ulcerative colitis or even other diseases.
