Abstract

It is important to explore whether there are antagonistic and synergistic effects between different strains of Lactobacillus when developing mixed Lactobacillus strain products. In this study, we investigated the antagonistic and symbiotic effects of co-cultured Lactobacillus strains, as well as their amelioratory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in RAW264.7 cells. The Lactobacillus strains tested in this paper showed no antagonism. Co-culture of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Y44 and L. plantarum AKS-WS9 was found to show inhibiting effects on the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, the co-cultured Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Y44 and L. plantarum AKS-WS9 relieved inflammation in RAW264.7 cells induced by LPS by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB and P38 signaling pathways and down-regulating the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines NO, ROS, iNOs and TNF-α. And the co-cultured Lactobacillus strains activated the Nrf2 signaling pathway in the LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells to promote the expression of antioxidant enzymes in response to oxidative stress. There was a difference in intracellular and extracellular metabolites between single or co-cultured Lactobacillus strains, and the co-cultured Lactobacillus strains significantly increased extracellular metabolites 4-chlorobenzaldehyde, psoromic acid, and 2-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid and intracellular metabolites 9(S)-HODE, pyocyanin, and LysoPA. We inferred that the better antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ability of the co-cultured Lactobacillus strains were related to the changes in the metabolites of the co-cultured Lactobacillus strains. The co-cultured L. plantarum Y44 and L. plantarum AKS-WS9 strains exhibited better anti-inflammatory abilities and had the potential to alleviate the symptoms of inflammatory diseases as mixed probiotics.
