Changes in the functions of intestinal barrier occur parallel with development sepsis. The protection by Bifidobacterium strains (BB, BL, BB12, and BLBB) was evaluated mice injected lipopolysaccharide (LPS). results revealed an increase ratio ileal villus length to crypt depth BLBB group compared that LPS group, as were number IgA+ plasma, CD4+/CD8+ T, dendritic cells. levels diamine oxidase (DAO) d-lactic acid serum lessened after injection group. In addition, exhibited increased expression level tight junction proteins (zonula occludens-1, occludin, claudin-1), mucin (MUC2) mRNA, reduced NFκB/MAPK signaling pathways, decreased inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α). enriched relative abundance Muribaculaceae, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, Clostridia_Ucg-014, Alistipes, resulting producing short-chain fatty acids. Furthermore, leads higher deoxycholic biosynthesized linoleate. This study suggested could enhance capacity mucosal immunity, reduce inflammation, improve composition gut microbiota. bifidum E3 combined longum subsp. infantis E4 may thus serve a probiotic against injury caused LPS.

Although leaky gut syndrome is not recognized as an official diagnosis for human diseases, it now believed that dysfunction of the cell barrier causes increased permeability intestinal epithelial cells leading to this condition. Probiotics have been widely used improve health, and studies investigated relevance protecting by taking probiotic strains in vitro vivo. However, most restricted use single or several do consider commercially available products composed multi-species. In study, we provide experimental evidence a multi-species mixture eight different heat-treated strain effective preventing conditions. We employed co-culture model system utilizing two differentiated lines mimic tissue. The integrity function was protected preserving occludin protein level activating AMPK signaling pathway, associated with tight junctions (TJs), through treatment Caco-2 cells. Moreover, confirmed application reduced expression proinflammatory cytokine genes inhibiting NFκB pathway when artificial inflammation induced system.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory characterized by intestinal barrier dysfunction, synergistic effects and excessive tissue injury. Gallic acid (GA) renowned for its remarkable biological activity, encompassing anti-inflammatory antioxidant properties. However, the underlying mechanisms which GA protects against inflammation have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study to investigate effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human colon carcinoma cell line (Caco-2) explore molecular mechanism involved. Our findings demonstrate that 5 μg/mL restores downregulation mRNA protein levels Claudin-1, Occludin, ZO-1 decreases expressions factors such as IL-6, IL-1β TNF-α induced LPS.

However, data rgarding impact on the intestinal health gut microbiota of ducks remain limited. Thus, this study aimed to investigate effects plant EO growth performance, health, Muscovy ducks. A total 360 healthy male aged 1 d were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates 15 per replicate. Ducks fed basal diets supplemented 0, 100, 200, or 300 mg/kg EO. The results showed that 200 supplementation significantly (P < 0.05) increased final body weight average daily gain, while decreased feed conversion ratio during 56-d experimental period. Furthermore, dietary enhanced antioxidant capacity immune function improved barrier intestine. Additionally, 16S rDNA sequencing analysis favorably modulated cecal microbial diversities composition evidenced by abundances short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria (e.g., Subdoligranulum Shuttleworthia) potential enteric pathogenic Alistipes, Eisenbergiella, Olsenella). relative abundance beneficial was positively correlated immune, biomarkers.
