Lactobacillus plantarum, a commensal bacterium of humans, has been proposed to enhance the intestinal barrier, which is compromised in a number of intestinal disorders. To study the effect of L. plantarum strain WCFS1 on human barrier function, healthy subjects were administered L. plantarum or placebo in the duodenum for 6 h by means of a feeding catheter. The scaffold protein zonula occludens (ZO)-1 and transmembrane protein occludin were found to be significantly increased in the vicinity of…

Protective effects of Lactobacillus plantarum on epithelial barrier disruption caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in intestinal porcine epithelial cells.

In Vitro Prevention of Salmonella Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Damages in Epithelial Barrier Function by Various Lactobacillus Strains

Insight is provided that live probiotics could improve epithelial barrier properties and this may explain the potential mechanism behind their beneficial effect in vivo and it is shown that Lactobacillus strains are associated with the maintenance of the tight junction integrity and appearance.

Effect of Lactobacilli on Paracellular Permeability in the Gut

Short-term administration of L. plantarum WCSF1 to healthy volunteers increased the relocation of occludin and ZO-1 into the tight junction area between duodenal epithelial cells and it has been shown that they could influence the tight junctions.

Strain-Dependent Augmentation of Tight-Junction Barrier Function in Human Primary Epidermal Keratinocytes by Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium Lysates

The data suggest that some bacterial strains increase tight-junction function via modulation of protein components but the different pathways involved may vary depending on the bacterial strain.

Lactobacillus GG restoration of the gliadin induced epithelial barrier disruption: the role of cellular polyamines

Gliadin modifies the intestinal paracellular permeability and significantly increases the polyamine content in Caco-2 cells.

Regulation of tight junction permeability by intestinal bacteria and dietary components.

The human intestinal epithelium is formed by a single layer of epithelial cells that separates the intestinal lumen from the underlying lamina propria, which is sealed by tight junctions (TJ), which regulate the permeability of the intestinal barrier.

Mechanism of protection of transepithelial barrier function by Lactobacillus salivarius: strain dependence and attenuation by bacteriocin production.

Observations indicate that L. salivarius strains are widely divergent in their capacity for barrier protection, and this is underpinned by differences in the activation of intracellular signaling pathways.

Secretions of Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus acidophilus Protect Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Function

BCM and LCM protected the intestinal barrier against IL-1&bgr; stimulation by normalizing the protein expression of occludin and claudin-1 and preventing IL- 1&b gr;–induced NF-&kgr;B activation in Caco-2 cells, which may be partly responsible for the preservation of intestinal permeability.

Lactobacillus reuteri strains protect epithelial barrier integrity of IPEC‐J2 monolayers from the detrimental effect of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

It is demonstrated that L. reuteri strains exert a protective effect against ETEC‐induced mucosal integrity disruption, as monitored by permeability of FITC‐dextran and transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER).

The effects of Lactobacillus plantarum on small intestinal barrier function and mucosal gene transcription; a randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial

Analysis in small intestinal biopsies demonstrated that particularly L. plantarum TIFN101 induced the most pronounced probiotic properties with specific gene transcriptional effects on repair processes in the compromised intestine of healthy subjects.

Probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 Inhibits Leaky Gut by Enhancing Mucosal Integrity

This study convincingly demonstrates that probiotic EcN is able to mediate up-regulation of ZO-1 expression in murine IECs and confer protection from the DSS colitis-associated increase in mucosal permeability to luminal substances.

Live probiotics protect intestinal epithelial cells from the effects of infection with enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC)

Live ST/LA interact with intestinal epithelial cells to protect them from the deleterious effect of EIEC via mechanisms that include, but are not limited to, interference with pathogen adhesion and invasion.

The probiotics could improve the gut microflora disturbance, increase occludin expression, maintain the gut epithelial tight junction and decrease the bacterial translocations rate.

Toll-like receptor 2 controls mucosal inflammation by regulating epithelial barrier function.

Data from in vitro and ex vivo models of intestinal epithelial cells revealed that TLR2 stimulation effectively preserves TJ-associated barrier assembly against stress-induced damage through promotion of PI3K/Akt-mediated cell survival via MyD88.

Identification of the transcriptional response of human intestinal mucosa to Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 in vivo

Overall, this study showed that intestinal exposure to L. plantarum WCFS1 induced consistent, time-dependent transcriptional responses in healthy intestinal mucosa, which could eventually provide molecular support for specific or probiotic activity of this strain or species.

AMP-18 protects barrier function of colonic epithelial cells: role of tight junction proteins.

It is suggested that AMP-18 could protect the intestinal mucosal barrier by acting on specific TJ proteins and stabilizing perijunctional actin during oxidant injury.

Lactobacillus plantarum 299v Inhibits Escherichia coli-Induced Intestinal Permeability

Pretreatment with L. plantarum 299v, which is a probiotic bacterium, protects against E. coli-induced increase in intestinal permeability, and the concept that probiotics may exert beneficial effects in the gastrointestinal tract is supported.

Molecular mechanisms underlying the probiotic effects of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 involve ZO‐2 and PKCζ redistribution resulting in tight junction and epithelial barrier repair

Evidence is provided that EcN induces an overriding signalling effect leading to restoration of a disrupted epithelial barrier and these properties contribute to the reported efficacy in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases and in part rationalize the probiotic nature of EcN.

Lactobacillus plantarum inhibits epithelial barrier dysfunction and interleukin-8 secretion induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha.

Induction of epithelial barrier dysfunction and IL-8 secretion by TNF-alpha is inhibited by L. plantarum, suggesting that probiotics may preserve epithelial Barrier function and inhibit the inflammatory response by altering the signal transduction pathway.
