ABSTRACT The mechanism of the apparent anti-inflammatory action of probiotic organisms is unclear. Lactobacillus reuteri is effective in inhibiting colitis in interleukin-10 (IL-10)-deficient mice. Nerve growth factor (NGF), in addition to its activity on neuronal cell growth, has significant anti-inflammatory effects in several experimental systems in vitro and in vivo, including a model of colitis. Our experiments were designed to explore the mechanism of effect of L. reuteri in the human epithelial cell lines T84 and HT29 on cytokine and NGF synthesis and IL-8 response to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Epithelial cells were cultured for various times with live and killed L. reuteri and examined by reverse transcription-PCR for NGF, IL-10, and TNF-α-induced IL-8 expression. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to quantitate intracellular IL-8 and secreted product. Western blotting and confocal microscopy were used to determine the effects on IκB and NF-κB, respectively. Live but not heat-killed or gamma-irradiated L. reuteri upregulated NGF and dose dependently inhibited constitutive synthesis by T84 and HT29 cells of IL-8 and that induced by TNF-α in terms of mRNA and intracellular and secreted protein. Similarly, L. reuteri inhibited IL-8 synthesis induced by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. L. reuteri required preincubation and adherence for effect, inhibited translocation of NF-κB to the nuclei of HeLa cells, and prevented degradation of IκB. Neither cellular lysates nor media supernatants had any effect on TNF-α-induced IL-8. The conclusion is that L. reuteri has potent direct anti-inflammatory activity on human epithelial cells, which is likely to be related to the activity of ingested probiotics. L. reuteri also upregulates an unusual anti-inflammatory molecule, NGF, and inhibits NF-κB translocation to the nucleus.

ABSTRACT Having previously shown that CCL20/macrophage inflammatory protein 3α and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) are released by polarized primary rat uterine epithelial cells (UEC) in response to Escherichia coli but not to Lactobacillus rhamnosus, we sought to determine if epithelial cells are responsive to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP), including lipopolysaccharide (LPS), lipoteichoic acid (LTA), and Pam3Cys, a bacterial lipoprotein analog. Epithelial cells were grown to confluence on Nunc cell culture inserts prior to apical treatment with PAMPs. In response to LPS, LTA, and Pam3Cys (EMC Microcollection GmbH, Tübingen, Germany), CCL20 levels increased (4- to 10-fold) while PAMPs caused increased TNF-α (1- to 4-fold) in the medium collected after 24 h of incubation. Both apical and basolateral secretion of CCL20 and TNF-α increased in response to PAMPs, but treatments had no effect on cell viability and integrity, as measured by transepithelial resistance. Time course studies of CCL20 and TNF-α release in response to Pam3Cys and LPS indicated that CCL20 release peaked between 2 and 4 h after treatment, whereas TNF-α release was gradual over the length of the incubation. Freeze-thaw and cell lysis experiments, along with actinomycin D studies, suggested that CCL20 and TNF-α are synthesized in response to PAMP stimulation. Taken together, these studies demonstrate that E. coli and selected PAMPs have direct effects on the production of CCL20 and TNF-α without affecting cell integrity. Since CCL20 is known to be both chemotactic and antimicrobial, the increase in apical and basolateral release by UEC in response to PAMPs suggests a new mechanism of innate immune protection in the female reproductive tract.
