AIM: To investigate the protective effects of combinations of probiotic (Bifico) on interleukin (IL)-10 -gene-deficient (IL-10 KO) mice and Caco-2 cell monolayers.METHODS: IL-10 KO mice were used to assess the benefits of Bifico in vivo. IL-10 KO and control mice received approximately 1.5 x 10(8) cfu/d of Bifico for 4 wk. Colons were then removed and analyzed for epithelial barrier function by Ussing Chamber, while an ELISA was used to evaluate proinflammatory cytokines. The colon epithelial cell line, Caco-2, was used to test the benefit of Bifico in vitro. Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) and the probiotic mixture Bifico, or single probiotic strains, were applied to cultured Caco-2 mono-layers. Barrier function was determined by measuring transepithelial electrical resistance and tight junction protein expression.RESULTS: Treatment of IL-10 KO mice with Bifico partially restored body weight, colon length, and epithelial barrier integrity to wild-type levels. In addition, IL-10 KO mice receiving Bifico treatment had reduced mucosal secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma, and attenuated colonic disease. Moreover, treatment of Caco-2 monolayers with Bifico or single-strain probiotics in vitro inhibited EIEC invasion and reduced the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines.CONCLUSION: Bifico reduced colon inflammation in IL-10 KO mice, and promoted and improved epithelialbarrier function, enhanced resistance to EIEC invasion, and decreased proinflammatory cytokine secretion.
