Previous works have described the activity of subsp. CECT 7210 (also commercially named IM-1) against rotavirus in mice and intestinal pathogens in piglets, as well as its diarrhea-reducing effect on healthy term infants. In the present work, we focused on the intestinal immunomodulatory effects of IM-1 and for this purpose we used the epithelial cell line isolated from colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2 and a co-culture system of human dendritic cells (DCs) from peripheral blood together with Caco-2 cells. Single Caco-2 cultures and Caco-2: DC co-cultures were incubated with IM-1 or its supernatant either in the presence or absence of CECT 515. The IM-1 supernatant exerted a protective effect against the cytotoxicity caused by CECT 515 on single cultures of Caco-2 cells as viability reached the values of untreated cells. IM-1 and its supernatant also decreased the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by Caco-2 cells and the co-cultures incubated in the presence of CECT 515, with the response being more modest in the latter, which suggests that DCs modulate the activity of Caco-2 cells. Overall, the results obtained point to the immunomodulatory activity of this probiotic strain, which might underlie its previously reported beneficial effects.
先前的研究已经描述了亚属 CECT 7210(也称为 IM-1)在小鼠轮状病毒和仔猪肠道病原体中的活性,以及其对健康足月婴儿腹泻的减少作用。在本研究中,我们专注于 IM-1 的肠道免疫调节作用,为此我们使用了源自结直肠腺癌 Caco-2 的上皮细胞系和人外周血树突状细胞(DC)的共培养系统与 Caco-2 细胞一起。单独的 Caco-2 培养物和 Caco-2:DC 共培养物与 IM-1 或其上清液孵育,无论是否存在 CECT 515。IM-1 上清液对 CECT 515 对 Caco-2 细胞单培养物的细胞毒性具有保护作用,因为活力达到未处理细胞的水平。IM-1 和其上清液还降低了 Caco-2 细胞和在 CECT 515 存在下孵育的共培养物中促炎细胞因子的分泌,在后一种情况下反应更为温和,这表明 DC 调节 Caco-2 细胞的活性。总的来说,这些结果表明该益生菌菌株具有免疫调节活性,这可能是其先前报道的有益作用的基础。
