Inulin protects against type 1 diabetes
We explored how inulin, a type of prebiotic fiber, impacts the immune response in the context of type 1 diabetes (T1D) using a specific mouse model. Our findings showed that mice treated with inulin alongside a chemical that induces diabetes, called streptozotocin, did not develop the disease. In fact, these mice had lower blood glucose levels, reduced inflammation in their pancreas, and more balanced insulin levels compared to those not receiving inulin.

The mice that received inulin also demonstrated an interesting change in their gut health, showcasing an increase in beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia muciniphila, as well as higher levels of butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid crucial for gut health. This improved gut microbiota seemed to support regulatory T cells, which play an important role in immune regulation.

Specifically, we noted that inulin helped recruit these regulatory T cells into the pancreas, a site critical for managing the immune response in diabetes. This recruitment depended on a specific pathway involving something known as CCR4. When we looked at mice lacking this CCR4 receptor, the beneficial effects of inulin were significantly reduced, highlighting its importance.

Overall, these findings suggest that inulin could be a promising nutritional strategy for enhancing immune health and potentially protecting against autoimmune conditions like T1D.

Lactobacillus shows promise for SLE
We explored the potential of Lactobacillus strain LC-STH-13 in treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a challenging autoimmune disorder. Using female MRL/lpr mice prone to lupus, we found that LC-STH-13 significantly lowered anti-autoantibodies and optimized the balance of immune cells.

Additionally, it reduced kidney inflammation by targeting the TLR9/NF-κB signaling pathway and improved gut health. These results are promising, suggesting that LC-STH-13 could be a safe and effective treatment avenue for SLE.

We aimed to understand whether probiotics could ease inflammation in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) by interfacing with innate immunity. We set up a mouse model of AIP and treated these mice with Lactobacillus gasseri. The treatment appeared to significantly reduce pancreatitis symptoms, potentially via TLR7 signaling in immune cells.

This suggests that Lactobacillus could be a valuable tool in managing AIP, as we observed crucial interactions between the gut microbiota and the body's immune response.

Effective for dysbiosis

Solid five! This probiotic works effectively and is very popular in the USA. When I lived there, I learned about it from a local doctor who prescribed it alongside antibiotics to guard against dysbiosis. I take two capsules between doses, and it keeps my body and intestines in order. Additionally, after using it, I’ve noticed a long-lasting reduction in thrush.

Recently, I've marked an increase in interest in probiotics for enhancing the immune system and digestion. Although doctors recommend various options alongside antibiotics, I have reservations about pharmacy drugs. I tried these probiotics after antibiotics but didn’t notice any gastrointestinal discomfort. Unfortunately, they didn’t improve my skin condition either, leading to my lower evaluation.

We examined how probiotics affect immune cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. By isolating monocytes from both RA patients and healthy individuals, we created macrophages that were treated with different probiotic bacteria.

Our findings revealed that probiotic treatment shifted macrophages towards a more anti-inflammatory state while reducing markers of inflammation. Notably, probiotics increased levels of beneficial anti-inflammatory substances and decreased harmful inflammatory responses.

This suggests probiotics could play a role in managing RA through their influence on immune cell behavior.

We investigated how diet influences autoimmune diseases, particularly using a ketogenic diet (KD) model. The KD improved conditions in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis by interacting with the gut microbiome.

Notably, lactobacillus variants were linked to reduced immune cell activation. We found that a specific strain, L. murinus, offered protection against autoimmune conditions, demonstrating the potential of lactobacillus combined with diet-dependent compounds to impact immunity positively.

Overall, our findings underscore the importance of dietary factors and gut bacteria in managing autoimmune disorders.

Lactobacillus modifies inflammation in lupus
We investigated the effects of Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Lactobacillus rhamnosus on immune responses in newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus patients. By examining blood-derived macrophages, we observed that these probiotics can decrease key inflammatory markers and promote a healthier balance in macrophage populations. Notably, they lowered certain harmful cytokines while increasing beneficial ones in both lupus patients and healthy individuals. Although the probiotics showed promise in inducing an anti-inflammatory profile, their overall effectiveness in managing SLE aspects needs further exploration.
We examined how probiotics affect immune cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. By isolating monocytes from both RA patients and healthy individuals, we created macrophages that were treated with different probiotic bacteria.

Lactobacillus shows promise for therapy
We explored the therapeutic effects of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium on a rat model of demyelination, aiming to understand how gut bacteria influence inflammatory disorders like multiple sclerosis.

In our study, we found that supplementing with these lactic acid bacteria greatly improved behavioral deficits and reduced demyelination.

Additionally, the treatments helped lower oxidative stress and enhanced serum levels of vitamins D and B. These promising results suggest that incorporating Lactobacillus may serve as a supportive therapy for conditions like multiple sclerosis.
