Aims: To evaluate the immunosuppressive properties of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) from high-EPS producer Lactobacillus rhamnosus RW-9595M on inflammatory cytokines produced by macrophages.

Methods And Results: The conditioned media (CM) were produced by macrophages treated with parental Lact. rhamnosus ATCC 9595 and its isogenic variant, the high-EPS producer Lact. rhamnosus RW-9595M, and the levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-12 were evaluated. Results revealed that CM from parental Lact. rhamnosus induced higher levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-12 but inhibited IL-10 production, whereas its mucous variant induced low or no TNF-alpha and IL-6. Addition of purified EPS to macrophages treated with parental Lact. rhamnosus decreased the inflammatory cytokines and inhibited the metabolic activity of lymphocytes. The intermediate polysaccharide chains (16-30 units) produced by time-controlled hydrolysis of EPS increased the IL-10 produced by macrophages.

Conclusions: Polysaccharide chains of EPS induced immunosuppression by the production of macrophagic anti-inflammatory IL-10.

Significance And Impact Of The Study: These results indicate that the EPS from Lact. rhamnosus RW-9595M may be useful as a new immunosuppressive product in dairy food.

This study isolated and characterized four indigenous lactic acid bacterial strains from naturally fermented green tender coconut water: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CWJ3, Lacticaseibacillus casei CWM15, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei CWKu14, and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CWKu-12. Notably, among the isolates, Lact. plantarum CWJ3 showed exceptional acid tolerance, with the highest survival rate of 37.

Probiotic supplementation has been identified as a potential target to reduce inflammatory mediators associated with obesity. Therefore, this study assessed the effect of probiotic LB1.5 on anxiety-like behavior, gene expression in the prefrontal cortex, and neuroinflammation in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of male mice fed a high-fat diet.

Introduction: The placenta is an organ that forms the bridge between mother and fetus during pregnancy. Changes in the intrauterine environment directly impact the fetus' health, with maternal nutrition determining its development. This study analyzed the effects of different diets and probiotic supplementation during pregnancy on the biochemical parameters of maternal serum and placental morphology, oxidative stress, and cytokine levels in mice.

The study evaluated the effects of supplementation with three different probiotic strains Bifidobacterium lactis (LACT GB™), Lactobacillus rhamnosus (RHAM GB™) and Lactobacillus reuteri (REUT GB™) on brain-intestinal immunomodulation in an animal model of LPS-induced inflammation. Fifty mice Balb/C were distributed into five groups: control; lipopolysaccharide (LPS); LPS + B. lactis (LACT GB™); LPS + L.

Lactobacillus plantarum KC28 showed a beneficial (anti-obesity) effect in a diet-induced obese (DIO) C57BL/6 murine model receiving an intermediate high-fat diet (IF). This diet was selected for probiotic studies by prior comparisons of different combinations of basic (carbohydrate, protein and fat) components for optimized induction of dietary obesity in a murine model. Prior selection of Lact.
