Heat-Killed Lactobacillus salivarius and Lactobacillus johnsonii Reduce Liver Injury Induced by Alcohol In Vitro and In Vivo.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to determine whether Lactobacillus salivarius (LS) and Lactobacillus johnsonii (LJ) prevent alcoholic liver damage in HepG2 cells and rat models of acute alcohol exposure. In this study, heat-killed LS and LJ were screened from 50 Lactobacillus strains induced by 100 mM alcohol in HepG2 cells. The severity of alcoholic liver injury was determined by measuring the levels of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (?-GT), lipid peroxidation, triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol. Our results indicated that heat-killed LS and LJ reduced AST, ALT, ?-GT and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and outperformed other bacterial strains in cell line studies. We further evaluated these findings by administering these strains to rats. Only LS was able to reduce serum AST levels, which it did by 26.2%. In addition LS significantly inhibited serum TG levels by 39.2%. However, both strains were unable to inhibit ALT levels. In summary, we demonstrated that heat-killed LS and LJ possess hepatoprotective properties induced by alcohol both in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:Work with pathogens like Vibrio cholerae has shown major differences between gene expression in bacteria grown in vitro and in vivo. To explore this subject for commensals, we investigated the transcription of the Lactobacillus johnsonii NCC533 genome during in vitro using the microarray technology. In broth growth, 537, 626 and 277 of the 1756 tested genes were expressed during exponential, “adaptation” (early stationary phase) and stationary phase, respectively. One hundred-one, 150 and 33 genes, respectively, were specifically transcribed in these three phases. Forty-four per cent of the NCC533 genome were not detectably transcribed under any of the investigated conditions. Non-transcribed genes were clustered on the genome and enriched in the variable genome part. For gene expression profiling experiments, cells were grown in a Sixfors fermentor system, composed of four individual 500 ml vessels (Infors, Bottmingen, Switzerland). Growth curves were performed at least in triplicate using the four separate fermentation vessels (fermentor 1 to 4), which were inoculated at 0.4% (v/v) with four individual overnight cultures in order to reach a starting optical density (OD600nm) of 0.05. Samples were taken at regular intervals from the four vessels to measure the OD600 nm and determine the CFU/ml until 36 h of fermentation. Aliquots of 15 ml (for early (T1-T2) and mid-exponential phases (T3-T4)) and 10 ml (for adaptation (T5), mid-stationary (T6) and late stationary phases (T7)) were centrifuged for 5 min at 10,000 x g at 4°C. Cell pellets were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at –80°C until further use.L. johnsonii NCC533 was grown in MRS broth supplemented with 2 % glucose as carbon source and 0.05% cysteine as redox buffer. For mRNA isolation L. johnsonii NCC533 cells were harvested from the broth culture several time points after inoculation (Fig. 1). In a total of 27 hybridization experiments. Genes were scored as expressed when their signal was detected in all hybridization experiments (with two technical replicates per slide) with mRNA preparations obtained from three independent growth experiments.

Project description:Giardia duodenalis (syn. G. lamblia, G. intestinalis) is the protozoan parasite responsible for giardiasis, the most common and widely spread intestinal parasitic disease worldwide, affecting both humans and animals. After cysts ingestion (through either contaminated food or water), Giardia excysts in the upper intestinal tract to release replicating trophozoites that are responsible for the production of symptoms. In the gut, Giardia cohabits with the host's microbiota, and several studies have revealed the importance of this gut ecosystem and/or some probiotic bacteria in providing protection against G. duodenalis infection through mechanisms that remain incompletely understood. Recent findings suggest that Bile-Salt-Hydrolase (BSH)-like activities from the probiotic strain of Lactobacillus johnsonii La1 may contribute to the anti-giardial activity displayed by this strain. Here, we cloned and expressed each of the three bsh genes present in the L. johnsonii La1 genome to study their enzymatic and biological properties. While BSH47 and BSH56 were expressed as recombinant active enzymes, no significant enzymatic activity was detected with BSH12. In vitro assays allowed determining the substrate specificities of both BSH47 and BSH56, which were different. Modeling of these BSHs indicated a strong conservation of their 3-D structures despite low conservation of their primary structures. Both recombinant enzymes were able to mediate anti-giardial biological activity against Giardia trophozoites in vitro. Moreover, BSH47 exerted significant anti-giardial effects when tested in a murine model of giardiasis. These results shed new light on the mechanism, whereby active BSH derived from the probiotic strain Lactobacillus johnsonii La1 may yield anti-giardial effects in vitro and in vivo. These findings pave the way toward novel approaches for the treatment of this widely spread but neglected infectious disease, both in human and in veterinary medicine.
