Popis: Probiotics are gaining attention due to their functions of regulating the intestinal barrier and promoting human health. The production of bacteriocins is one of the important factors for probiotics to exert beneficial properties. This study aimed to screen bacteriocin-producing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and evaluate the probiotic potential in vitro. It was found that L. plantarum Q7, L. plantarum F3-2 and L. plantarum YRL45 could produce bacteriocins and inhibit common intestinal pathogens. These three strains had probiotic potential with tolerance to the gastrointestinal environmental and colonization in the gut, and exhibited various degrees of anti-inflammatory activity and tight junction function in the intestinal barrier. Particularly, L. plantarum YRL45 could significantly (p < 0.05) reduce the increase in nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), thereby easing inflammatory response. L. plantarum F3-2 could remarkably (p < 0.05) up-regulate the expression levels of ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin-1 in intestinal epithelial injured cells, which was conducive to protecting the intestinal barrier. These findings provided fundamental information about the probiotic properties of bacteriocin-producing L. plantarum, which suggested that L. plantarum Q7, L. plantarum F3-2 and L. plantarum YRL45 had the potential to be used as novel probiotic strains.
