LACTIPLANTIBACILLUS PLANTARUM STRENGTHENS THE INTESTINAL BARRIER: INVOLVEMENT OF THE ENDOCANNABINOIDOME

ABSTRACT: Probiotics have been suggested to ameliorate the function of the intestinal epithelial barrier and so have several mediators and receptors of the expanded endocannabinoid system, the endocannabinoidome (eCBome). Here we cocultured three live strains of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum with intestinal epithelial organoids to study their effects on the gut barrier function and the possible involvement of the eCBome in this effect. All three L.plantarum strains variously reduced the trans-epithelial permeability of intestinal organoids and promoted increased mRNA expression of several tight junction proteins and intestinal barrier proteins. Concomitantly, the three strains upregulated the expression of genes encoding biosynthetic enzymes (i.e., NapePLD, Abdh4, Gde1, Daglb) and receptors (i.e., Cnr1, Cnr2, Gpr55, and Ppara), while concurrently downregulating the expression of two essential catabolic enzymes (i.e. Faah and Naaa), involved in the signaling of several eCBome mediators known for their role in regulating the intestinal epithelial barrier. Selective inhibitors of eCBome mediator degrading enzymes FAAH and MAGL, i.e., URB597 and JZL184, increased N-acyl-ethanolamine (NAE) and 2-monoacylglycerol (2-MAG) levels, respectively, enhanced the expression of intestinal epithelial barrier genes and reduced the trans-epithelial permeability of organoids, as for L. plantarum strains. Interestingly, inflammation-induced trans-epithelial permeability in organoids was also reversed by both FAAH and MAGL inhibitors. We surmise that elevated endogenous levels of either NAEs or 2-MAGs promote improvement in small intestine trans-epithelial permeability and that L. plantarum strains may exploit this mechanism to promote these beneficial effects.

Project description:Background: Lactobacillus plantarum is found in a variety of fermented foods and as such, consumed for centuries. Some strains are natural inhabitants of the human gastro-intestinal tract and like other Lactobacillus species, L. plantarum has been extensively studied for its immunomodulatory properties and its putative health-promoting effects (probiotic). Being the first line of host defense intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) are key players in the recognition and initiation of responses to gut microorganisms. Results: Using high-density oligonucleotide microarrays we examined the gene expression profiles of differentiated Caco-2 cells exposed to various doses of L. plantarum. In addition, the effects were correlated to monolayer permeability studies and measurement of lactic acid production. A transcriptional dose-dependent IEC response to L. plantarum was found. Incubation of Caco-2 with a low bacterial dose induced a specific response, not due to cytotoxicity or production of lactic acid, including modulation of cell cycle and cell signaling functions. Exposure of Caco-2 cells to larger amounts of bacteria, accompanied by the production of lactic acid and glucose depletion, provoked increased permeability and supposed non-specific defense responses. Conclusions: These results suggest that IEC are able to sense and react to the presence of gut bacteria. This study provides the first description of global transcriptional response of human IEC to a commensal lactic acid bacterium, and it shows the importance of choosing physiological bacterial doses to prevent the observation of non-specific host reactions. Caco-2 cells were exposed for 10h to Lactobacillus. Fourteen samples are analyzed: 4 control Caco-2, 4 Caco-2 exposed to a low dose (10) of Lactobacillus, 4 Caco-2 exposed to a medium dose (100) of Lactobacillus, 2 Caco-2 exposed to a high dose (1000) of Lactobacillus. All 14 RNA samples are labeled with Cy5 and hybridized to a common reference (undifferentiated Caco-2, untreated) RNA labeled with Cy3
