Project description:Probiotics play important role in maintaining the health and extend longevity in their host. Previous studies reported several live probiotic bacteria in enhancing longevity and improving diverse feature of the host’s health. In this study, we reported a new potential heat- killed probiotic bacterium Levilactobacillus brevis strain MRKAK9 improved longevity and different features of healthy aging, including age-associated physical activity, improved resistance to biotic and abiotic stress in C. elegans. The mechanistic investigations showed that heat-killed strain MRKAK9 promoted longevity and healthy aging by downregulating insulin-signaling pathway resulting in improved proteostasis, autophagy and preserving lysosomal functionality in C. elegans. Heat-killed strain MRKAK9-mediated downregulation of insulin signaling pathway was regulated by the miRNA mir-243, suggesting that mir-243 partially involved in enhancing longevity of C. elegans. Additionally, the structural component exopolysaccharide of the strain heat-killed MRKAK9 also downregulated insulin- signaling mechanisms, increased the expression of genes involved in proteostatsis, autophagy as well as improved expression of mir-243. This study indicates that heat-killed strain MRKAK9 improves longevity and healthy aging, suggesting its candidature as a novel postbiotic.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Lactobacillus brevis UCCLBBS124 and UCCLBBS449 comparing control strain grown in MRS broth with strains growing in different stress conditons (5 % EtOH, pH4 or 30 ppm iso-a-acids).This study aimed to evaluate how certain Lb. brevis isolates are adapted so as to allow them to survive and grow in beer.

Project description:Housekeeping sigma factors in the Sigma70 family, as components of the RNA polymerase holoenzyme, are responsible for regulating transcription of genes related to vegetative growth. While these factors are well understood in model organisms such as Escherchia coli and Bacillus subtilis, little experimental work has focused on the sigma factors in members of the Lactobacillus genus such as Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus plantarum. This study evaluates the ability of putative Sigma70 proteins from L. brevis (Sigma70-Lb) and L. plantarum (Sigma70-Lp) to complement a temperature sensitive mutation in E. coli 285c Sigma70. After finding that the heterologous sigma factors were capable of restoring the viability of E. coli 285c at 42 C through growth kinetics studies, the transcriptional responses of 285c to an extended heat shock in the presence of Sigma70-Lb and Sigma70-Lp were found to be similar to previous studies. These results indicate the Sigma70-Lb and Sigma70-Lp are capable of initiating transcription in a complex with the E. coli 285c RNA polymerase to a sufficient degree to restore viability at elevated temperatures without triggering unusual modifications to the native transcriptional program. These heterologous sigma factors may therefore be useful to improve biochemical knowledge of the sigma factor family or for use in transcriptional engineering. 3 biological replicates per sigma factor

Project description:Studies of long-lived individuals have revealed few genetic mechanisms for protection against age-associated disease. Therefore, we pursued genome sequencing of a related phenotype-healthy aging-to understand the genetics of disease-free aging without medical intervention. In contrast with studies of exceptional longevity, usually focused on centenarians, healthy aging is not associated with known longevity variants, but is associated with reduced genetic susceptibility to Alzheimer and coronary artery disease. Additionally, healthy aging is not associated with a decreased rate of rare pathogenic variants, potentially indicating the presence of disease-resistance factors. In keeping with this possibility, we identify suggestive common and rare variant genetic associations implying that protection against cognitive decline is a genetic component of healthy aging. These findings, based on a relatively small cohort, require independent replication. Overall, our results suggest healthy aging is an overlapping but distinct phenotype from exceptional longevity that may be enriched with disease-protective genetic factors.

Project description:Some commensal bacteria stimulate the immune system but do not present specific antigenicity. Such adjuvant effects have been reported for the bacterial species Lactobacillus plantarum. To study in vivo human responses to L. plantarum, a randomised double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over study was performed. Healthy adults were provided preparations of living and heat-killed L. plantarum bacteria, biopsies were taken from the intestinal mucosa and altered transcriptional profiles were analysed. Transcriptional profiles of human epithelia displayed striking differences upon exposure to living L. plantarum bacteria harvested at different growth phases. Modulation of NF-κB-dependent pathways was central among the major altered cellular responses. This unique in vivo study shows which cellular pathways are associated with the induction of immune tolerance in mucosal tissues towards common adjuvanticity possessing lactobacilli. Keywords: mucosal response of healthy adult humans to lactic acid bacteria This study was set up according to a randomised double-blind cross-over placebo-controlled design. It contains transcriptional profiles from biopsies from 8 healthy individuals after oral intake of three different growth stages of Lactobacillus plantarum or placebo control. In total, this study includes data from 8 individuals x 4 treatments=32 arrays.

Project description:Influenza A(H1N1)pdm virus caused the first human pandemic of the 21st century. Although various probiotic Lactobacillus species have been shown to have anti-microbial effects against pneumonia-inducing pathogens, the prophylactic efficacy and mechanisms behind their protection remain largely unknown. Here, we evaluated the prophylactic efficacy of heat-killed Lactobacillus pentosus b240 against lethal influenza A(H1N1)pdm virus infection in a mouse model. To further define the protective responses induced by b240, we performed virologic, histopathologic, and transcriptomic analyses on the mouse lungs. Although we did not observe an appreciable effect of b240 on virus growth, cytokine production, or histopathology, gene expressional analysis revealed that oral administration of b240 differentially regulates antiviral gene expression in mouse lungs. Our results unveil the possible mechanisms behind the protection mediated by b240 against influenza virus infection and provide new insights into probiotic therapy.
