The human microbiota is a source of probiotics capable of modulating the host immune system. In this study, we collected fecal samples from 100 healthy infants and isolated lactic acid bacteria which were screened for immune modulating effects on tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) production. Cell-free
Chronic allograft dysfunction is the primary cause of graft loss after the first posttransplantation year. Bacteriocins are biologically active proteins exhibiting antimicrobial properties against other bacterial species, which are usually closely related to the producer organism. The objective of
The development and maintenance of immune homeostasis indispensably depend on signals from the gut flora. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which are gram-positive (G+) organisms, are plausible significant players and have received much attention. Gram-negative (G-) commensals, such as members of the
The present study investigated immunopotentiating activities of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi (KLAB) in vitro. A RAW264.7 macrophage cell line was stimulated with four strains of KLAB and two strains of bifidobacteria, and then the production of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines--tumor
To investigate the role of cytokines in interactions between lactic acid bacteria and the immune system, we measured production of tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-10 from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells after stimulation with live or glutaraldehyde-fixed bacteria.
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) has recently emerged as a serious disease of cultured shrimp. A total of 19 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from shrimp samples were characterized based on morphological characteristics, biochemical tests, sequencing analysis, and their
For avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH), repair and regeneration are difficult because of the edema and high pressure caused by continuous ischemia and hypoxia. Core decompression (CD) is a classic method for treating early ANFH before the collapse of the femoral head; however, its effect
We have optimized the display of the B domain of staphylococcal protein A on the surface of Lactococcus lactis. The maximum binding capacity was estimated at 0.146 μg of antibody per 10⁸ cells and was sustained at 86% after treatment with simulated gastric juice. A tumor necrosis factor alpha
Mucous-penetrating nanoparticles consisting of poly lactic acid-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)-polyethylene glycol (PEG) could improve targeting of microbicidal drugs for sexually transmitted diseases by intravaginal inoculation. Nanoparticles can induce inflammatory responses, which may exacerbate the
In the current study, the relative contribution of cell-surface components (CSC) and cell-free supernatants (CFS) in the immuno-modulatory properties of 17 strains of probiotic and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) was assessed. The production of pro- and antiinflammatory cytokines including IL-2, IL-4,
In this study, the protective effects of 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl lactic acid (DLA) on blood-brain barrier (BBB) injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has been explored.Male Sprague-Dawley rats (weight 300-350 g) were used to establish the SAH model The alterations induced on the pool sizes of five phospholipid metabolites, glycerol 3-phosphorycholine, glycerol 3-phosphorylethanolamine, phosphorylcholine, sn-glycerol 3-phosphate, and choline were studied by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in murine tumors injected with recombinant
This study intended to examine the effect of 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl lactic acid (DLA), a major ingredient of Salvia miltiorrhiza, on lipopolysaccahride (LPS) -induced mouse cerebral cortical microcirculatory disturbance. Velocity of red blood cells in, and albumin leakage from venules, and the numbers
Biodegradable polymer-based nanoparticles have been widely studied to deliver therapeutic agents to the brain after intranasal administration. However, knowledge as to the side effects of nanoparticle delivery system to the brain is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vivo
