In this study, diverse intestinal immunostimulatory activities were demonstrated for polysaccharides (KBV-CP) isolated from Korean brown rice vinegar. Monosaccharide composition analysis indicated that KBV-CP was composed mainly of neutral sugar units, primarily glucose and mannose. In vitro, KBV-CP significantly augmented the productions of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgA-related cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, results of an in vitro co-culture system of intestinal Caco-2 cells and RAW 264.7 macrophage cells suggested that KBV-CP is not only cytotoxic to Caco-2 cells but also capable of being transported across the small intestinal barrier. Oral administration of KBV-CP every other day for 20 days induced the IgA production by Peyer's patch cells as well as in intestinal fluid and fecal extract. In addition, the production of IgA-related cytokines such as TGF-β and IL-6, and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor was triggered.

Immunostimulatory effects of Heyndrickxia coagulans SANK70258.

Here, we examined the immunomodulating effects of Heyndrickxia coagulans SANK70258 (SANK70258). Mouse splenocytes treated with γ-ray-irradiated SANK70258 produced higher levels of IFN-γ than those with 7 types of lactic acid bacteria. IFN-γ was mainly produced by NK cells, involving IL-12/IL-23, dendritic cells (DCs), and NFκB signaling.

Article Synopsis
- Obesity is linked to a disrupted gut microbiome due to high-fat diets, causing conditions like insulin resistance and NASH.
- In a study with mice, those on high-fat diets showed significant health issues, while treatment with Broncho-Vaxom® (OM-85) prevented obesity and improved gut health.
- The findings suggest that immune modulators like OM-85 can positively impact metabolism and gut microbiome composition, indicating potential for new obesity therapies.
Unraveling the web of defense: the crucial role of polysaccharides in immunity.

The great potential of polysaccharides in immunological regulation has recently been highlighted in pharmacological and clinical studies. Polysaccharides can trigger immunostimulatory responses through molecular identification, intra- and intercellular communication via direct or indirect interactions with the immune system. Various immunostimulatory polysaccharides or their derivative compounds interacts at cellular level to boost the immune system, including arabinogalactans, fucoidans, mannans, xylans, galactans, hyaluronans, fructans, pectin and arabinogalactans, etc.

Soybeans are widely recognized as a valuable crop, often included as a high-quality protein source in production animal diets. In addition to contributing to the macronutrient composition of the diet, soybeans also contain many minor bioactive components which can influence the health and growth of animals. This review examined the immunomodulatory potential of soy saponins and their specific effects on the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and intestinal barrier function.

Article Synopsis
- - The immune system relies on both innate and adaptive responses to fight pathogens, and individuals with weakened immune systems require effective methods to enhance their immune function.
- - This study investigates the effects of the probiotic OTG1204 on macrophages, crucial for immune defense, specifically examining its potential to stimulate the immune response in conditions of immunosuppression induced by cyclophosphamide (CTX).
- - Results showed that OTG1204 activated macrophages, increasing important signaling molecules and cytokines through specific pathways, and helped restore immune function in immunosuppressed mice by improving immune cell populations and overall health indicators.
