摘要
Probiotics are widely used in food for their health benefits to the host. Inactivated probiotics also reportedly improve the intestinal environment and immune regulation. Our previous studies showed that heat-killed Lacticaseibacillus paracasei MCC1849 (hk-MCC1849) effectively induced IL-12 production in mouse spleen cells and significantly reduced cold symptoms in clinical trial subjects. To further elucidate the mechanism of host immune regulation by hk-MCC1849, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were cocultured with hk-MCC1849. The Toll-like receptor 9 ligands CpG-ODN 2216 and hk-MCC1849 and the heat-killed Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus ATCC53103 were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. The results showed that, compared with the control, hk-MCC1849 significantly increased the expression of the plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) marker CD86 (p < .0001) and the pDC marker HLA-DR (p < .001) in PBMCs. The expression levels of the IL-12p40, IFN alpha, IFN alpha 1, IFN gamma, and ISG15 genes were significantly increased after coculture with hk-MCC1849 (p < .05, p < .05, p < .05, p < .05, and p < .05, respectively, vs. control). Furthermore, to confirm whether hk-MCC1849 directly interacted with pDCs, DCs were enriched with PBMCs following 24 h of coculture with hk-MCC1849. Phagocytosis of fluorescently labeled hk-MCC1849 by pDCs was observed, and there were significant increases in CD86 (p < .05) and HLA-DR (p < .0001) expression in pDCs. These results suggest that hk-MCC1849 exerts a potential immunomodulatory effect on the host through the activation of peripheral pDCs.
