Lactobacillus plantarum 299v Prevents Caspase-Dependent Apoptosis In Vitro

Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins

Abstract

Selective microbes used as probiotics can enhance epithelial cell protection. We have previously shown that a Lactobacillus plantarum strain 299v (Lp299v) has the ability to induce mucin genes. In the current study, we utilized a cytokine model of inflammation in cell culture to study the modulation of apoptosis by this probiotic. HT-29 cells were pre-incubated with the Lp299v or L. plantarum strain adh- (Lpadh-), a non-adherent derivative of Lp299v. Cells were challenged with a mixture of cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-1a) to imitate conditions of inflammation. To assess for cell death, we evaluated TUNEL, multi-caspase, and caspase-3 and caspase-7 activity assays. There was a marked decrease in apoptosis as measured by TUNEL(+) cells in samples pre-treated with Lp299v (18.7 ± 4.1%, p < 0.01) and Lpadh- (16.6 ± 3.2%, p < 0.05) prior to cytokine exposure when compared to cells (43.6 ± 6.2%) exposed to the cytokine mixture. Lp299v pre-incubation with HT-29 cells reduced caspase(+) cells in the multi-caspase activity assay (3.6 ± 0.6%, p < 0.05) compared to cells exposed to cytokines (68.9 ± 5.1%) whereas Lpadh- did not (46.8 ± 17.5%, p > 0.05). Similarly, caspase-3, caspase-7 activity was also reduced by Lp299v. Selected probio...Continue Reading

Caspases in Metabolic Diseases

Caspases, the family of cysteine proteases are involved in programmed cell death, but their role in metabolic diseases, inflammation and immunity has been of interested. Discover the latest research on caspases in metabolic diseases here.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
