A novel strain of Lactobacillus mucosae isolated from a Gaotian villager improves in vitro and in vivo antioxidant as well as biological properties in d-galactose-induced aging mice

Abstract

Twelve isolates isolated from the gastrointestinal tracts of Gaotian villagers in China, who had a lifespan of 92 yr, were examined for their antioxidants using free radical scavenging activity and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl. Three strains (i.e., Lactobacillus mucosae LMU1001, and Lactobacillus plantarum LPL0902 and LPL0302) were selected as candidates to prepare yogurt for testing their antioxidants in a model of d-galactose-induced aging mice, with vitamin C as a positive control. The results showed that L. mucosae LMU1001 was the best strain, which had similar in vivo antioxidant activity as vitamin C. A significant increase was found in the activities of glutathione peroxidase in serum and total superoxide dismutase in the liver, and a decrease in the level of malondialdehyde in serum. Regarding mRNA expression level detected quantitatively by real-time PCR, we observed that L. mucosae LMU1001 significantly upregulated antioxidant genes (i.e., MT1A and MT1M in HT-29 and Caco-2) and those genes (i.e., MT1, MT2, GPx1, and GPx2) in the intestinal tract of the model mice. Hence, this strain could be considered as a potential probiotic lactic acid bacterium for improving antioxidant levels in functional foods.

“…Therefore, probiotics are also used in the development of antioxidants and health products (Wang, Xie, et al, 2016;Wang, Zhou, Xia, Zhao, & Shao, 2016;Yu et al, 2016).…”

Preventative effects of Lactobacillus plantarum YS-3 on oxazolone-induced BALB/c colitis in mice

“…These have also been shown to possess anti-aging and antiinflammatory properties [6,7]. Lactobacillus can also relieve intestinal inflammation by secreting metabolites that impart stimulatory effects on intestinal mucosal lymph nodes, thereby enhancing the activity of immune systemrelated cells and macrophages [8].…”
