Aging, a complex physiological process characterized by multi-organ involvement and closely associated with oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, has prompted growing scientific interest in natural antioxidant probiotics due to their dual health-promoting properties and anti-oxidative capabilities. However, the effectiveness and mechanisms of multiple emerging Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus) strains extracted from the fecal microbiota of breastfed infants on zebrafish models remain unclear. In this study, the anti-aging potential of L. rhamnosus NKU FL1-11, selected for its potent inhibition of senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity, was systematically investigated using HO-induced senescent zebrafish through a comprehensive assessment of protective effects and mechanistic analysis. Our findings demonstrated that L. rhamnosus NKU FL1-11 exhibits probiotic attributes, including biosafety, acid tolerance, bile salt tolerance, and anti-oxidative capacity. The pre-treatment of L. rhamnosus NKU FL1-11 could preserve locomotor behavior. Additionally, L. rhamnosus NKU FL1-11 supplementation significantly increased the activities of CAT, GSH-Px, and GSH (p < 0.01) and reduced the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 (p < 0.05). RNA-seq analysis showed that differential genes were closely linked to oxidative stress and inflammation, specially enriched to FoxO signaling pathway and mTOR signaling pathway. Furthermore, we validated the FoxO/mTOR signaling pathway by qPCR and western blotting analyses. Collectively, our findings suggest that L. rhamnosus NKU FL1-11 emerges as a probiotic strain exhibiting remarkable anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory capacities. The strain demonstrates significant efficacy in preventing HO-induced aging, positioning its potential application as an anti-aging functional ingredient. However, comprehensive pre-clinical evaluations and mechanistic investigations are warranted to validate these preliminary observations.
衰老,是一个以多器官受累为特征、与氧化应激和慢性炎症密切相关的复杂生理过程,由于其双重健康促进特性和抗氧化能力,激发了科学界对天然抗氧化益生菌的兴趣日益浓厚。然而,从母乳喂养婴儿的粪便微生物群中提取的多种新兴鼠李糖乳杆菌菌株在斑马鱼模型上的有效性和作用机制仍不清楚。在本研究中,通过对保护作用的全面评估和机制分析,利用过氧化氢诱导衰老的斑马鱼,系统地研究了因对衰老相关β-半乳糖苷酶活性有强大抑制作用而被选中的鼠李糖乳杆菌NKU FL1-11的抗衰老潜力。我们的研究结果表明,鼠李糖乳杆菌NKU FL1-11具有益生菌特性,包括生物安全性、耐酸性、耐胆盐性和抗氧化能力。鼠李糖乳杆菌NKU FL1-11的预处理可以维持运动行为。此外,补充鼠李糖乳杆菌NKU FL1-11显著提高了过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)和谷胱甘肽(GSH)的活性(p<0.01),并降低了肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)和白细胞介素-6(IL-6)的水平(p<0.05)。RNA测序分析表明,差异基因与氧化应激和炎症密切相关,特别富集于叉头框蛋白O(FoxO)信号通路和哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mTOR)信号通路。此外,我们通过定量聚合酶链反应(qPCR)和蛋白质免疫印迹分析验证了FoxO/mTOR信号通路。总的来说,我们的研究结果表明,鼠李糖乳杆菌NKU FL1-11是一种具有显著抗氧化和抗炎能力的益生菌菌株。该菌株在预防过氧化氢诱导的衰老方面显示出显著疗效,表明其作为抗衰老功能成分的潜在应用价值。然而,需要进行全面的临床前评估和机制研究来验证这些初步观察结果。
