Abstract

The immunomodulatory effect of probiotics has been shown mainly in gastro-intestinal immune disorders and little information is available on the inflammation of central nervous system. Recently we reported that IRT5 probiotics, a mixture of 5 probiotics, could suppress diverse experimental inflammatory disorders. In this study, we evaluated the prophylactic and therapeutic effects of IRT5 probiotics in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a T cell mediated inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Pretreatment of IRT5 probiotics before disease induction significantly suppressed EAE development. In addition, treatment with IRT5 probiotics to the ongoing EAE delayed the disease onset. Administration of IRT5 probiotics inhibited the pro-inflammatory Th1/Th17 polarization, while inducing IL10(+) producing or/and Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells, both in the peripheral immune system and at the site of inflammation. Collectively, our data suggest that IRT5 probiotics could be applicable to modulate T cell mediated neuronal autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis.

  • Animal studies suggest that probiotics can modulate endogenous neuroactive molecules, prevent and treat neuronal autoimmune diseases, and ameliorate impaired spatial memory in diabetic rats.

    “Animal studies suggest that probiotics can modulate endogenous neuroactive molecules [17], prevent and treat neuronal autoimmune diseases [18], and ameliorate impaired spatial memory in diabetic rats [19].”
  • Supplementation of a cocktail of five probiotics (IRT5) before or after experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis onset in rodents is associated with delay of disease onset or suppression of disease progression, respectively.

    “The supplementation of a cocktail of five probiotics (IRT5) before or after the EAE onset in rodents is associated with the delay of the disease onset or suppression of the disease progression, respectively (154).”
  • Amelioration of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis upon probiotic treatment was associated with a higher abundance of Treg cells, higher production of IL-10 by CD4+ T cells, B cells, and CD11c+ cells, together with suppression of the pro-inflammatory Th-1/Th-17 response.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
