Application of measurements of transepithelial electrical resistance of intestinal epithelial cell monolayers to evaluate probiotic activity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among five potentially probiotic lactobacilli investigated, Lactobacillus plantarum MF1298 and Lactobacillus salivarius DC5 showed the highest increase in the transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) of polarized monolayers of Caco-2 cells, and this increase was shown to be dose dependent. Furthermore, preincubation with MF1298 attenuated a decrease in TER induced by Listeria monocytogenes.

Background: For biotechnological application, selected lactic acid bacteria strains belonging to the genera Lactobacillus (Lb) are proposed as an alternative to the antibiotics for the prevention and treatment of urogenital tract infections. Objectives: Isolating and selecting vaginal lactobacilli strains for probiotic use based on their technological and probiotic aptitudes. Materials and Meth...
متن کاملPermeation of disaccharides derived from chondroitin sulfate through human intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayers via the paracellular pathway.
The intestinal absorption of chondroitin sulfate (CS) and its hydrolysate, particularly the disaccharides (Di-CS), was investigated by using human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell monolayers. Although the transepithelial transport of CS was not detectable, dose- and time-dependent transport of Di-CS was observed. The transport of Di-CS was proved to be energy-independent and its permeability i...
متن کاملPotentiation of polarized intestinal Caco-2 cell responsiveness to probiotics complexed with secretory IgA.
The precise mechanisms underlying the interaction between intestinal bacteria and the host epithelium lead to multiple consequences that remain poorly understood at the molecular level. Deciphering such events can provide valuable information as to the mode of action of commensal and probiotic microorganisms in the gastrointestinal environment. Potential roles of such microorganisms along the p...
متن کاملEscherichia coli cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 effaces microvilli and decreases transmigration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in intestinal T84 epithelial cell monolayers.
Cytotoxic necrotizing factor type 1 (CNF1), a 110-kDa toxin-like protein from pathogenic Escherichia coli strains, induces an actin cytoskeleton reorganization consisting of the formation of prominent stress fibers by permanent activation of the small GTP-binding protein Rho. Since p21Rho regulates tight-junction permeability and perijunctional actin reorganization in epithelial intestinal cell...
متن کاملAttenuation by l-thyroxine of oxidant-induced gut epithelial damage
Objective(s): Severe injuries are often associated with tissue hypothyroidism, elevated damaging mediators in circulation, and broken gut epithelial barrier. However, the relationships between the hypothyroid state and gut epithelial damage are largely unknown. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of L-thyroxine (T4) on in vitro models of intact and ...
