Newborn chicks are susceptible to Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus probiotic isolated from chicken feces on heterophil phagocytosis in broiler chicks. A total of 150 newborn broiler chicks were divided into 5 groups (30 chicks per group) as follows: group 1 (normal control), given feed and water only, group 2 (positive control) given feed, water and SE infection, group 3 (L61 treated) given feed, water, SE infection followed by Lactobacillus salivarius L61 treatment, group 4 (L55 treated) given feed, water, SE infection followed by L. salivarius L55 treatment, and group 5 given feed, water, SE infection followed by L. salivarius L61 + L55 combination treatment. After SE infection, L. salivarius treatment lasted for 7 days. The results showed that L. salivarius L61 and L. salivarius L55 treatment, either alone or combination of both, increased the survival rate after SE infection, and upregulated heterophil phagocytosis and phagocytic index (PI). Conversely, chick groups treated with Lactobacillus showed lower SE recovery rate from cecal tonsils than that of the positive control group. The PI values of the chicken group with SE infection, followed by the combination of L. salivarius L61 and L. salivarius L55 were the highest as compared to either positive control or normal control group. Two Lactobacillus strains supplementation group showed significantly (p<0.05) higher PI value at 48 h than 24 h after treatment.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from fermented foods have potential as a treatment for immune-related disorders and the use of LAB has been increasing worldwide. In this study, the differential cytokine regulatory effect was examined with three isolates of lactobacilli strains; namely, Lactobacillus plantarum K55-5 isolated from dairy product, and L. sakei K101 and L. plantarum K8 previously isolated from kimchi (a Korean traditional fermented vegetable). Production of cytokines such as IL-10, IL-12, IFN-γ, and TNF-α was significantly increased in L. sakei K101- and L. plantarum K55-5-treated splenocytes as compared with controls. The oral administration of L. sakei K101 and L. plantarum K55-5 increased cytokine production in the immunosuppressed mouse splenocytes and blood. NK cell cytotoxic activity was also increased in L. sakei K101- and L. plantarum K55-5-fed mice. On the other hand, L. plantarum K8 did not affect cytokine induction in all the experiments performed in this study. The cytokine-inducing effect of L. plantarum K55-5 was significantly increased by lysates of heat-killed bacteria as compared with live, heat-killed, or supernatant of cell lysates. TNF-α production by lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) isolated from the three isolates of lactobacilli was compared, and it was found that K55-5 LTA had a highest cytokine-inducing ability, which was mediated by TLR2-mediated NF-κB and ERK activation. Taken together, our study suggests that L. plantarum K55-5 and L. sakei K101 can be used for the treatment of immunosuppressed disorders.

회전식 진탕 배양기를 사용한 회분식 발효실험을 통하여 효모 S. cerevisiae ATCC 24858의 균체농도 변화가 비성장 속도, 균체수율, 에탄올수율, 에탄올 생산성 등에 미치는 영향을 규명하여 보았다. 균체의 비성장속도는 균체농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하여 균체농도가 55g/L에 이르게 되면 $Ohr^{-1}$에 도달하여 균체성장이 멈추게 되었다. 에탄올수율 $Y_{p/s}$는 균체농도 변화에 관계없이 일정한 값 0.43을 나타내었으나 균체수율$Y_{x/s}$는 균체농도 증가에 EK라 감소 경향을 나타내어 균체농도55g/L에서는 그 값이 0을 나타내었다. 에탄올 생산성은 균체농도 증가에 따라 선형적인 함수관계로 증가하는 경향을 나타내어 초기 당농도 170g/L, 초기 균체농도55g/L인 경우에는 30g/L까지 상승하였다. 또한 본 연구의 실험 결과를 Luong식에 적용하여 군체성장이 멈추는 에탄올의 농도가 95g/L임을 알 수 있었다.

PI3-kinase activity through p85, the regulatory subunit of class IA PI3-kinase, is indispensable for the growth, differentiation, and survival of skeletal muscle cells, but little is known about the function of other regulatory subunits such as p55 and p50. We examined the subcellular localization and the expression of the regulatory subunits of class IA PI3-kinase in L6 myoblasts. Both p55 and p50 as well as p85 were expressed in L6 myoblasts. Whereas p85 was localized at both cytosolic and nuclear tractions, p55 and p50 were localized at only the nuclear traction. During the differentiation of L6 myoblasts, the protein concentrations of both p55 and p50 were decreased but that of p85 was not significantly changed. Menadione-induced oxidative stress induced the translocation of p85 from cytosol to nucleus and the increase of p55 expression. These results suggest that the regulatory subunits of class IA PI3-kinase play an important role in L6 myoblasts.

In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum L55, a probiotic strain of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi. The genome consists of one circular chromosome (2,077,416 base pair [bp]) with a guanine cytosine (GC) content of 44.5%, and two circular plasmid sequences (54,267 and 19,592 bp, respectively). We also conducted a comprehensive analysis of the genome, which identified the presence of functional genes, genomic islands, and antibiotic-resistance genes. The genome sequence data presented in this study provide insights into the genetic basis of L. plantarum L55, which could be beneficial for the future development of probiotic applications.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death. Oxidative DNA damage may contribute to cancer risk and the antioxidant paraoxonase is one endogenous free radical scavenger in the human body which could therefore exert an influeence. Purpose: Aim of this study was to determine the role of serum arylesterase (ARE) and paraoxonase 1(PON1) activities in CRC patients and to find any association between (PON1) Q192R and L55M gene polymorphisms in CRC patients. Also the serum ARE and PON1 activities in CRC patients will be investigated before and after surgery Materials and Methods: This study involved a total of 50 patients with newly diagnosed CRC and 80 healthy controls. PON1 and ARE activities were determined using an enzymatic spectrophotometric method. PON1 Q192R and L55M gene polymorphisms were determined using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) based restriction fragment analysis. The restriction enzyme AlwI was used to examine the Q192R polymorphism and Hsp92II for the L55M polymorphism. Results: Significant differences in the PON1 Q192R polymorphism were found between patients and controls. The Q allele was more frequent in the patient group than in controls, while the R allele was more frequent in the controls. Significant differences were found in the L55M polymorphism. Additionally, there were significant differences in L and M allele frequencies (p=0.001). The serum activities of PON1 and ARE were low in QQ and MM genotype. Conclusions: serum PON1 and ARE activities were significantly lower in CRC patients compared to healthy subjects. The R allele may protect against colorectal cancer.

갓김치로부터 분리된 유산균 5종(Lactobacillus acidophilus GK20, Lactobacillus brevis GK55, Lactobacillus paracasei GK74, Lactobacillus plantarum GK81, 및 Leuconostoc mesenteroides GK104)의 활성산소종에 대한 저항성 및 항산화 활성을 조사하였다. Hydrogen peroxide (0.5 mM)와 반응 5시간후 L. acidophilus GK20, L. brevis GK55, L. paracasei GK74 및 L. plantarum GK81들은 50% 이상의 생존율을 보였으며, superoxide anions에 의한 저해율은 L. acidophilus GK20와 L. paracasei GK74가 가장 낮았고, hydroxyl radical과의 반응에서는 L. paracasei GK74와 L. plantarum GK81이 가장 안정하였다. 한편, L. plantarum GK81는 실험 균주 중 가장 높은 DPPH 소거능($70.8{\pm}10.1%$)을 나타내었는데, 세포(IC)보다는 세포추출물(ICFE)의 활성이 더 높았다. 또한 L. plantarum GK81의 ICFE는 다른 균주들에 비해 높은 superoxide radical 소거능을 보였고, 이 균주의 IC와 ICFE에 의한 환원력은 BHA와 vitamin C보다 유의적으로 더 높게 나타났으며, L.paracasei GK74 IC의 환원력도 vitamin C와 비슷한 수준으로 나타났다. L. brevis GK55, L. paracasei GK74 및 L.mesenteroides GK104 IC의 $Fe^{2+}$-chelating 활성은 30% 이상이었고, L. plantarum GK81의 ICFE는 45% 이상의 활성을 나타내었다. 따라서 실험 균주 중 L. plantarum GK81은 다른 균들에 비해 ROS에 대해 비교적 안정하고, 항산화 활성도 가장 높은 것으로 확인되었다.
