Dear Editor, Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) adhere to the inner surface of gastrointestinal tract and regulate mucosal and systemic immune response through antigen-presenting cells. 1 Under the stimulation of immunoglobulin and cytokines, LAB can also affect the regulation of related immune response. 2 Lactic acid bacteria can inhibit the production of IL-12 and transcription of IL-12p40 mRNA by macrophages. 3 Studies have shown that LAB can induce the production of systemic anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-10 (IL-10). Soluble factors produced by LAB inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. 4-6 Oral LAB act on mucosa of gastrointestinal tract, and at least 70% of immune cells are colonized in gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). 7 Although bone marrow (BM) is the major primary lymphoid organ of B lymphogenesis for mammals, GALT is also identified as the primary lymphoid organ for B cell development in different species. 8, 9 Besides, microbiota play an essential role for B cell development in mammal GLAT. 9, 10 However, the effect of LAB on the development and function of B cells in GALT needs to be further dissected. In this study, fifty 1-week-old BALB/c mice were randomly divided into two groups, namely the PBS control group and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG) group with 25 mice per group. Mice were orally administrated with LGG at the dose of 107 cfu/10 μL every other day for 2 weeks, and mice treated with PBS were used as control. At 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days after the treatment, mice were killed for analysing (n= 5 for each time-point). Firstly, developmental stages of B cells, that is B220+CD43+IgM− IgD−(pro-B), B220+CD43− IgM− IgD−(pre-B), B220+CD43− IgM+IgD−(immature B) and B220+CD43− IgM+IgD+(mature B), were detected in mouse BM, intestinal lamina propria (LPL) and Peyer's patches (PPs) by flow cytometry. Mature B cells were analysed in mouse spleen (SPL) and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN). Secondly, the expression levels of CD40, CD80 and MHC-Ⅱ on B cells were detected in mouse SPL, MLN and PPs. Lastly, we examined the Secretory Immunoglobulin A (SIgA) level in intestinal lavage fluid and serum IgM, IgA and Immunoglobulin G (IgG) by ELISA. Figure 1A shows the gating strategy for different developmental stages of B cells. On the 7th day after LGG intervention, the percentage of pro–B cells in BM of LGG group was significantly lower than that of control group, with 1.25±0.17% vs 2.28±0.18%(n= 5; P< 0.01, P= 0.0033). On the 35th day after LGG intervention, the percentage of pre–B and immature B cells in BM of LGG group decreased significantly compared to control group, with 42.56±6.34% vs 64.64±0.89% for Pre–B cells (n= 5; P< 0.01, P= 0.0087) and 11.88±3.97% vs 28.46±0.83% for immature B cells (n= 5; P< 0.01, P= 0.0017), respectively. However, the percentage of mature B cells in BM of LGG group increased significantly compared to control group on the 35th day after LGG intervention, with 21.71±4.19% vs 5.15±0.23%(n= 5; P< 0.01, P= 0.0043)(Figure 1B). The representative data of B cell development in BM for flow cytometry were shown in Figure S1A-E. With the cessation of intervention, the percentage of pre–B and immature B cells decreased significantly, while the number of mature B cells increased dramatically in LGG group, indicating that LGG promotes the development of pro-B to mature B in BM. Similar results were obtained in LPL of intestine, a newly identified primary lymphoid organ for B cell development in mice. On the 21st and 28th days after LGG intervention, the percentage of immature B cells in LPL of LGG group decreased significantly …
