ABSTRACT: Transcriptomic analysis of mice treated with Lactobacillus rhamnosus CNCM i-3690 and different mutants and variants generated from this strain
Project description:Numerous studies have shown that resistance to oxidative stress is crucial to stay healthy and to reduce the adverse effects of aging. Accordingly, nutritional interventions using antioxidant food-grade compounds or food products are currently an interesting option to help improve health and quality of life in the elderly. Live lactic acid bacteria (LAB) administered in food, such as probiotics, may be good antioxidant candidates. Nevertheless, information about LAB-induced oxidative stress protection is scarce. To identify and characterize new potential antioxidant probiotic strains, we have developed a new functional screening method using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as host. C. elegans were fed on different LAB strains (78 in total) and nematode viability was assessed after oxidative stress (3mM and 5mM H2O2). One strain, identified as Lactobacillus rhamnosus CNCM I-3690, protected worms by increasing their viability by 30% and, also, increased average worm lifespan by 20%. We performed a transcriptomic analysis of C. elegans fed with this strain and showed that increased lifespan is correlated with differential expression of the DAF-16/insulin-like pathway, which is highly conserved in humans. Gene expression in C. elegans wild-type strain (N2) was analyzed in worm populations fed with E. coli OP50 (control condition) or the corresponding LAB (Lactobacillus rhamnosus CNCM I-3690 or Lactobacillus rhamnosus CNCM I-4317) . Three days and ten days feeding period was analyzed.
Project description:we have performed transcriptomic analysis of colonic samples of mice challenged with DNBS twice in a chronic model of inflammation and treated with CNCM -I3690 strain and several mutants and variants generated from it. colonic transcriptome analysis at the endpoint revealed that CNCM I 3690 enhances the expression of genes related to healthy gut permeability, motility (Ghrelin (GHR)), and absorption (guanylate cyclase activator 2B (Guca 2b)); cell proliferation (amino acid transporter SLC7A7); and protective functions (endogenous protease inhibitor kazal-type4). Focusing on inflammation, both GHR and Guca 2B have been found to act as anti-inflammatory, protecting the gut against a wide range of threats. Besides, CNCM I-3690 also up regulated TRAF-interaction protein with a forkhead-associated domain (TIFA), an important signaling adaptor in the NF-κβ pathway.

Project description:Dietary lipids favor the growth of the pathobiont Bilophila wadsworthia, but the relevance of this expansion in metabolic syndrome pathogenesis remains unknown. Here, we showed that B. wadsworthia synergize with HFD to promote higher inflammation, intestinal barrier dysfunction and bile acid dysmetabolism, leading to higher glucose dysmetabolism and hepatic steatosis. Host-microbiota transcriptomics analysis unraveled pathways, particularly butanoate metabolism, which may underlie the metabolic effects mediated by B. wadsworthia. Pharmacological suppression of B. wadsworthia-associated inflammation unmasked the bacterium’s intrinsic capacity to induce a negative impact on glycemic control and hepatic function. Finally, the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus CNCM I-3690 was able to limit B. wadsworthia-induced immune and metabolic impairment by limiting its expansion, reducing inflammation and reinforcing intestinal barrier. Our results support a new avenue for interventions against western diet-driven inflammatory and metabolic diseases.

Project description:The presence of tagatose in Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG caused induction of a large number of genes associated with carbohydrate metabolism including the phosphotransferase system. In addition, these results indicate the tagatose enhanced the growth of Lactobacillus casei 01 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG and their probiotic activities by activating tagatose-associated PTS networks. Two-condition experiment, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG with glucose vs. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG with tagatose. For preparing the total RNA, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG cells were grown at 37M-BM-0C in prebiotic minimum medium supplemented with 2% glucose or tagatose for 24 h.
