Abstract
Probiotics, when consumed in adequate amounts, can promote the health of the host and beneficially modulate the host's immunity. Particularly during the host's early life, the gut intestine undergoes a period of epithelial maturation in which epithelial cells organize into specific crypt and villus structures. This process can be mediated by the gut microbiota. Recent studies have reported that the administration of probiotics can further promote intestinal maturation in the neonatal intestine. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of extracellular vesicles derived from the Limosilactobacillus fermentum SLAM 216 strain, which is an established probiotic with known immune and anti-aging effects on intestinal epithelial maturation and homeostasis, using mouse small intestinal organoids. As per our findings, treatment with L. fermentum SLAM 216-derived LF216EV (LF216EV) has significantly increased the bud number and size of organoid buds. Furthermore, extracellular vesicle (EV) treatment upregulated the expression of maturation-related genes, including Ascl2, Ephb2, Lgr5, and Sox9. Tight junctions are known to have an important role in the intestinal immune barrier, and EV treatment has significantly increased the expression of genes associated with tight junctions, such as Claudin, Muc2, Occludin, and Zo-1, indicating that it can promote intestinal development. This was supported by RNA sequencing, which revealed the upregulation of genes associated with cAMP-mediated signaling, which is known to regulate cellular processes including cell differentiation. Additionally, organoids exposed to LF216EV exhibited upregulation of genes associated with maintaining brain memory and neurotransmission, suggesting possible future functional implications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology (JMB) is a monthly international journal devoted to the advancement and dissemination of scientific knowledge pertaining to microbiology, biotechnology, and related academic disciplines. It covers various scientific and technological aspects of Molecular and Cellular Microbiology, Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology, Food Biotechnology, and Biotechnology and Bioengineering (subcategories are listed below). Launched in March 1991, the JMB is published by the Korean Society for Microbiology and Biotechnology (KMB) and distributed worldwide.
