Lysed and disrupted Bifidobacterium bifidum BGN4 cells promote anti-inflammatory activities in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells

초록

Bifidobacterium bifidum BGN4 has been shown to improve the immune system by regulating interleukin (IL)-6 in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. In this study, the dead cells of B. bifidum BGN4 were produced by enzymatic and physical processing to enhance the inhibition properties of pro-inflammatory cytokines using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Notably, the secretion levels of cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were decreased by the cell-wall disrupted extracts compared to heat-killed cells. The result suggests that the exposed interior-surface of B. bifidum BGN4 has a potential ability to regulate the immune-responses in the gastrointestinal tract due to major substances in inside-cell wall such as peptidoglycan and teichoic acids. In conclusion, the lysed and disrupted cells from the inside out of B. bifidum BGN4 have anti-inflammatory properties as paraprobiotic agents to control chronic inflammatory related-diseases. © 2021 The Authors
