Title Cytokine production by the murine macrophage cell line J774.1 after exposure to lactobacilli.
Journal Biosci Biotechnol Biochem
Abstract Eleven strains of lactobacilli were tested for their ability to induce the murine macrophage-like cell line J774.1 to secrete cytokines. Some of the bacteria tested induce the production of interleukin(IL) 6, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-alpha) by J774.1 cells. Seven strains also induced the production of IL-10. However, no IL-1beta was produced. Lactobacillus acidophilus TMC 0356 significantly induced the production of more IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, and TNF-alpha than the other bacteria tested (p < 0.0001; ANOVA). These results suggest that lactobacilli can activate macrophages to secrete both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Selected strains might be used to bring about pro or antiinflammatory immune reactions.
