Project description:In previous in vitro study, we reported potential mechanism of cholesterol-lowering effect of Lactobacillus brevis119-2 (119-2) isolated from turnip M-bM-^@M-^\Tsuda kabuM-bM-^@M-^] is due to incorporation of cholesterol into 119-2 cell. In this study, we analyzed serum cholesterol and hepatic gene expression of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat fed diet containing cholesterol with or without 119-2 for 2 weeks, to evaluate the cholesterol-lowering effect of 119-2 in vivo. Serum cholesterol of SD rat fed diet with 119-2 significantly decreased compared to SD rat fed diet without 119-2, and both viable and dead 119-2 indicated the effect. The result of hepatic gene analysis using DNA microarray suggested that potential mechanism of the cholesterol-lowering effect of 119-2 in vivo is inhibiting the activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase by Insig (insulin induced gene) that is endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein, and catabolizing cholesterol to bile acid by Cyp7a1 (cytochrome P450 a1) that is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of bile acid from cholesterol. In addition, we concluded feeding 119-2 decreased serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by overexpression of Ldlr (LDL receptor gene). On the other hand, feeding Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC43121 (ATCC) increased high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol by over expression of Abca1 (ATP binding cassette sub-family A member 1 gene) and Angplt3 (Angiopoietin-like 3). These results suggested that 119-2 decrease the risk of atherosclerosis by serum cholesterol-lowering effect and improving effect of fatty liver and the LH (LDL cholesterol / HDL cholesterol) ratio. Lactobacillus brevis119-2 (119-2) was isolated from turnip M-bM-^@M-^\Tsuda kabuM-bM-^@M-^] harvested in Matsue city, Shimane Prefecture, Japan, and was stored at Shimane Institute for industrial Technology. Male Jcl: SD rat (4 weeks of age) were obtained from CLEA Japan, Inc. (Tokyo, Japan). Rats were maintained under controlled environmental conditions (temperature 23 M-BM-1 3 M-KM-^ZC, relative humidity 55% M-BM-1 25%, 12/12hr light - dark cycle) and given food and water ad libitum. All rats were acclimated 1 week prior to the experiment. Two groups of 11 rats each were treated respective group diets for 2weeks. Control group was fed high-cholesterol diet containing 10 g cholesterol/kg, 5 g cholic acid/kg, 985 g mouse & rat & rabbit diet (CRF-1) /kg obtained from Oriental yeast Co., Ltd (Tokyo, Japan). The other group was fed same highcholesterol diet with 10 g freeze-dried viable 119-2 /kg. This study and all procedures were approved by regulations and code of ethics in experimental animals Chitose Japan Food Research Laboratories.

Project description:Background. Food can affect the microbial balance in the human intestine, and the ingestion of probiotics may play a role in the current obesity pandemic. The objective of our study was to determine if increased Lactobacillus spp. in the intestinal microflora of mice can promote growth and if changes in the intestinal microflora are associated with modifications in metabolism. Methodology. Female BALBc mice were divided between one control and two experimental groups and inoculated either once or twice with 4×1010 Lactobacillus per animal in PBS or with PBS alone. Fecal samples were collected and tested using qPCR to detect and quantify Lactobacillus spp., Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. Gene expression by microarray and RT-PCR was studied in liver and adipose tissue. Finally, metabolic parameters in the plasma were tested. Principal Findings. In three independent experiments, we observed an increase in both weight gain and liver weight in mice inoculated with 4×1010 Lactobacillus. Inoculation with Lactobacillus sp. (ostrich) increased the Lactobacillus spp. and Firmicutes DNA copy number in feces. The transcriptional profile of liver tissue from mice inoculated with Lactobacillus sp. (ostrich) was enriched for Gene Ontology terms related to the immune response and metabolic modifications. The mRNA levels of fatty acyl synthase (Fas), sterol regulatory element binding factor 1 (Srebp1c), tumor necrosis factor alpha (Tnf), cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2e1) and 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (Pdpk1) were significantly elevated in liver tissue in experimental group animals. In gonadal adipose tissue, the expression of leptin, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Pparg and Srebp1c was significantly higher in experimental group animals, whereas the expression of adiponectin was significantly lower. Conclusions. Alterations in the intestinal microbiota resulted in increased weight gain. Furthermore, increased Lactobacillus spp. in the intestinal microflora of mice inoculated with Lactobacillus sp. (ostrich) resulted in accelerated weight gain, liver enlargement and metabolic changes in the plasma, liver and adipose tissue.
