Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Y42 in Biofilm and Planktonic States Improves Intestinal Barrier Integrity and Modulates Gut Microbiota of Balb/c Mice

Abstract

In our previous study, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Y42 showed some potential probiotic functions and the ability to form biofilm. The aim of this study was to compare the similarities and differences in the probiotic and physiological traits of L. plantarum Y42 in the biofilm and planktonic states. L. plantarum Y42 in the biofilm state was proven to have higher survival after passing through mimic gastrointestinal fluid, as well as excellent adhesion properties on the HT-29 cell monolayers, than those in the planktonic state. The expression of tight junction proteins (TJ proteins) of HT-29 cell monolayers treated by L. plantarum Y42 in the planktonic state increased, while similar changes were not observed in the HT-29 cells treated by the strain in the biofilm state. Furthermore, Balb/c mice were orally administered L. plantarum Y42 in the biofilm and planktonic states, respectively. Compared to the planktonic state, the oral administration of L. plantarum Y42 in the biofilm state significantly boosted IgA levels and improved the immunity of the mice. High-throughput sequencing showed that the diversity and structure of the intestinal flora of the mice were changed after the oral administration of L. plantarum Y42, including the up-regulated relative abundance of Lactobacillus in the intestinal tract of the mice, with no difference between the biofilm and planktonic states. Moreover, oral administration of L. plantarum Y42 in biofilm and planktonic states reduced the release of proinflammatory factors, to a certain extent, in the serum of the mice. The similarities and differences in the probiotic and physiological properties of L. plantarum Y42 in the biofilm and planktonic states can be contributed to the reasonable application of the strain.

Bifidobacterium longum S3 alleviates loperamide-induced constipation by modulating intestinal acetic acid and stearic acid levels in mice

“…Food & Function reduction of metabolic derangements, as well as an increase in abundance has been observed after several probiotic intervention experiments in constipated mice. 34,35 It was reported to be associated with the production of C18:0 and accelerated intestinal peristalsis, 14 which is consistent with our results. Parabacteroides modulate the immune system, alleviate inflammation, and regulate host metabolism.…”

“…Furthermore, bacteria within the gut interact with other microbes to create biofilm tridimensional structures that influence antigen exposure to the local immune system [34]. However, excessive exposure to bacteria that evade the immune system may trigger crossreactivity and subsequent autoimmunity [35].…”

Optimisation of fermentation for developing a novel low‐allergenic fermented milk beverage with reduced antigenicity

“…The determination of tolerance to simulated artificial gastrointestinal fluid was based on the method reported by Zhang et al . (2022) with some modifications. Following activated strain through centrifugation at 1438 g (FA‐45‐6‐30 rotor, centrifuge 5804R, Eppendorf AG, Hamburg, Germany) for 5 min at 25°C, the bacteria were washed three times with 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and then suspended.…”
