Probiotics are able to balance the resident microbiota and modulate the immune response to different microbial stimuli, however its immunomodulatory effects are not clearly understood. This study intends to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus or its products on macrophages (RAW 264.7) activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), lipoteicoic acid (LTA) or mannan through the analysis of the production of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1 β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12). It was used the standard strain of L. rhamnosus ATCC 7469, seeded on Agar Man-Rogosa-Shape (MRS) and grown at 37°C/5% CO2 for 24 h. Three different preparations of probiotics were prepared: 1) L. rhamnosus solution at a concentration of 5 x 107 cells/mL; 2) Heat-killed L. rhamnosus, obtained by autoclaving previous preparation at 121°C/15 min, 3) Supernatant of L. rhamnosus suspension, obtained through centrifugation of the suspension with heat-killed probiotic at 8300 xg/10 min. Mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7) grown in complete DMEM medium (supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum) were distributed in polystyrene microplates at a concentration of 1 x 106 viable cells/well/ml complete DMEM medium. After 24 h incubation (37°C/5% CO2) for cell adhesion, plates were washed with sterile-apirogenic physiologic saline and cells were stimulated with Escherichia coli LPS, Enterococcus faecalis LTA or Saccharomyces cerevisiae mannan at a concentration of 1 μg/mL, in the presence or absence of the different preparations of probiotics at the same time for 2,5 h. Then the plates were washed, had its medium traded and were incubated for 16 h (37°C/5% CO2). Culture supernatants were 14 collected for the detection and quantification of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-12) by ELISA immunoenzymatic method. The results were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey tests (p≤0,05). With ...
