Gut-joint axis: Oral Probiotic ameliorates Osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritis (OA) etiology is multifactorial, and its prevalence is growing globally. The Gut microbiota shapes our immune system and impacts all aspects of health and disease. The idea of utilizing probiotics to treat different conditions prevails. Concerning musculoskeletal illness and health, current data lack the link to understand the interactions between the host and microbiome. We report that S. thermophilus, L. pentosus (as probiotics), and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) harbour against osteoarthritis in vivo and alleviate IL-1β induced changes in chondrocytes in vitro. We examined the increased GABA concentration in mice's serum and small intestine content followed by bacterial treatment. The treatment inhibited the catabolism of cartilage and rescued mice joints from degradation. Furthermore, the anabolic markers upregulated and decreased inflammatory markers in mice knee joints and chondrocytes. This study is the first to represent GABA's chondrogenic and chondroprotective effects on joints and human chondrocytes. This data provides a foundation for future studies to elucidate the role of GABA in regulating chondrocyte cell proliferation. These findings opened future horizons to understanding the gut-joint axis and OA treatment. Thus, probiotic/GABA therapy shields OA joints in mice and could at least serve as adjuvant therapy to treat osteoarthritis.

Project description:Delivery and weaning are major stressful events in sows and piglets, adversely affecting production and growth performance and causing economic losses to swine farms. Probiotics as safe antibiotic alternatives have great potential for use across all stages of livestock farming. Here, 18 pregnant sows from clinical farms randomly were divided into two groups: one fed a basal diet (CON group) and the other fed a basal diet plus a probiotic mixture CBB-mix (containing 1×1012 CFU/g of Lactobacillus johnsonii [CJ21], 1×109 CFU/g of Bacillus subtilis [BS15], and 1×109 CFU/g of Bacillus licheniformis [BL21]), for 20 days before delivery. The effects of maternal CBB-mix supplementation on sow colostrum metabolome and offspring piglets' clinical performance, immune status, and gut microbiota were investigated. Additionally, 177 piglets were randomly divided into 4 groups, including CC group (piglets and sows fed a basal diet, n = 40 from 5 litters), CP group (piglets fed the basal diet plus CBB-mix and sows fed the basal diet, n = 38 from 4 litters), PC group (piglets fed the basal diet and sows fed the basal diet plus CBB-mix, n = 50 from 4 litters), and PP group (both piglets and sows fed the basal diet plus CBB-mix, n = 49 from 5 litters). Among that, CP and PP groups were added CBB-mix in the creep feed from 11 days of age for 18 days to study the direct effects of CBB-mix on the growth performance of piglets. Maternal CBB-mix supplementation improved sow production performance, including litter size at birth and litter weight at birth (P < 0.05). Piglets born from CBB-mix-fed sows exhibited increased litter size at weaning and reduced diarrhea incidence from 1 to 10 days of age (P < 0.05). Additionally, systemic immune status and antioxidant capabilities were improved in both sows and piglets. Maternal CBB-mix supplementation reconstituted the gut microbiota structure and increased the Sobs index and Shannon index of fecal microbiota in both sows and piglets (P < 0.05). The relative abundance of Firmicutes and Clostridium_sensu_stricro_1 in sow feces was decreased after feeding CBB-mix (P < 0.05). In piglets, 10-day-old feces had relatively more Lactobacillus but less Escherichia-Shigella than 1-day-old feces (P < 0.05), indicating that maternal feeding CBB-mix alone affects the gut microbiota community of offspring piglets via the gut-breast axis. Piglets born from CBB-mix-fed sows had continuously decreased the relative abundance of fecal Escherichia-Shigella at 28 days of age (P < 0.05). Consistently, the metabolite profile in sow milk was also changed by CBB-mix. Colostrum metabolome showed that CBB-mix significantly regulated tryptophan metabolism and primary bile acid biosynthesis. Our data demonstrated that maternal CBB-mix supplementation effectively improved the production performance of sows and their offsprings' growth performance. Through the gut-breast axis (interaction between gut microbiota and mammary glands), feeding CBB-mix to sows impacted the gut microbiota of their offspring. This study provides strategy and evidence for maternal probiotic supplementation to improve immune status and gut microbiota homeostasis in response to delivery and weaning.
