Inhibition of the NF-kappa B Pathway in Human Intestinal Epithelial Cells by Commensal Streptococcus salivarius
Résumé
Streptococcus salivarius exhibited an anti-inflammatory effect on intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and monocytes. Strains were screened using a reporter clone, HT-29/kB-luc-E, induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). Supernatant from each strain downregulated NF-kappa B activation. The two most efficient strains produced an active metabolite (<3 kDa) which was able to downregulate the secretion of the proinflammatory chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8).
