In the present study, we isolated Bifidobacterium longum CH57, which suppresses macrophage activation, from human gut microbiota and Lactobacillus brevis CH23, which inhibit Th17 cell differentiation, from kimchi, and investigated anti-inflammatory effects of CH23, CH57, and their probiotic mixture (PM) in mice with TNBS-induced colitis. CH57 inhibited NF-κB activation in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Oral administration of CH57 in mice attenuated TNBS-induced colitis and TNF-α expression. CH23 inhibited IL-17 and RORγt expression in splenic T cells. Oral administration of CH23 in mice inhibited TNBS-induced colon shortening, myeloperoxidase activity, and Th17 cell differentiation and induced TNBS-suppressed Treg differentiation. PM increased TNBS-suppressed claudin, occludin, and ZO-1 expression and Treg differentiation, while CH57 inhibited Th17 cell differentiation and RORγt and IL-17 expression. PM inhibited TNBS-induced macrophage activation. Moreover, CH23 and CH57 synergistically inhibited macrophage activation and Th17 cell differentiation in vitro. The PM may synergistically ameliorate colitis by inhibiting macrophage activation and restoring Th17/Treg balance. |
