Article Synopsis
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by its relapsing nature, and this study focuses on how probiotics can influence inflammatory signaling pathways during inflammation.* -
  • The researchers used a cell line (HT-29) to observe how probiotics affect the expression of inflammatory genes and found that probiotics reduced the production of key inflammatory markers IL-6 and IL-1β.* -
  • Specifically, the probiotic mixture had anti-inflammatory effects by downregulating certain genes in the NF-кB pathway and is proposed as a promising treatment option for IBD patients given its low side effects.*

Article Synopsis
  • IBD is an inflammatory disease characterized by exaggerated immune responses, and there is a need for therapies with minimal side effects, such as probiotics, to modulate inflammation.
  • Researchers used qPCR to analyze the impact of potential probiotics on genes related to inflammation and signaling pathways, finding that these probiotics downregulated certain inflammatory genes compared to pathogen treatment.
  • The findings indicate that using native probiotics may help reduce intestinal inflammation and improve the quality of life for IBD patients by targeting specific inflammatory pathways.

Objective: IBD is an inflammatory disease with abnormalities such as dysbiosis and abnormal immune system activity. Probiotics, as live beneficial microorganisms, play a role in maintaining health through various mechanisms, including the modulation of the immune system and the control of inflammation. Here, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of a probiotic mixture of spp.

Background And Objectives: Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides produced by many genera of bacteria especially spp. against many pathogens, adapt bacterial composition in the gut and inhibit dysbiosis that can lead to inflammation disorders like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of bacteriocin genes in health, IBD disease and recovery conditions.

Probiotics are special bacterial strains with strain specific impacts. They can affect health condition in intestine by producing organic acid, competing with pathogens and maintaining cells homeostasis. Regarding to importance of cell junctions in cells transportation and the influence of pathogens in their functions which lead to inflammation, the impact of probiotic strains comprised of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains on two important members of gap junctions (Cx26 and Cx43) were assayed.

Background: Probiotics have a beneficial effect on inflammatory responses and immune regulation, via Janus kinase/signal transduction and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) and NF-κB signaling pathways. To evaluate the precise effects of Lactobacillus spp. as a protective and therapeutic agent, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of Lactobacillus spp.

Background: Probiotics positively affect inflammatory responses, in part, through Janus kinase/signal transduction and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) and inflammatory signaling pathways. To evaluate the precise effects of probiotics as protective treatment, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp.

Background And Objectives: Diarrhea is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, specially in developing countries. One of the most important causative agents of bacterial diarrhea is diarrheagenic (DEC) which causes gastroenteritis and this group involving enterotoxigenic (ETEC), enteropathogenic (EPEC), enteroaggregative (EAEC), enterohemoragic (EHEC), enteroinvasive (EIEC), diffusely adherence (DAEC). The aim of this study was to identify different pathotypes in north and north-west of Iran, among the clinical isolates.
