A wide range of articles describe the role of different probiotics in the prevention or treatment of various diseases. However, currently, the focus is shifting from whole microorganisms to their easier-to-define components that can confer similar or stronger benefits on the host. Here, we aimed to describe polysaccharide B.PAT, which is a surface antigen isolated from Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. animalis CCDM 218 and to understand the relationship between its structure and function. For this reason, we determined its glycerol phosphate-substituted structure, which consists of glucose, galactose, and rhamnose residues creating the following repeating unit: To fully understand the role of glycerol phosphate substitution on the B.PAT function, we prepared the dephosphorylated counterpart (B.MAT) and tested their immunomodulatory properties. The results showed that the loss of glycerol phosphate increased the production of IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, and TNF-α in bone marrow dendritic cells alone and after treatment with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG. Further studies indicated that dephosphorylation can enhance B.PAT properties to suppress IL-1β-induced inflammatory response in Caco-2 and HT-29 cells. Thus, we suggest that further investigation of B.PAT and B.MAT may reveal distinct functionalities that can be exploited in the treatment of various diseases and may constitute an alternative to probiotics.

Complex structure of cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. exopolysaccharide (EPS), with apparent molecular weight 214 × 103 g/mol, can be deduced from its composition. Chemical and NMR analyses found four dominant sugar monomers, namely (1 → 4)-linked α-l-arabinopyranose, β-d-glucopyranose, β-d-xylopyranose and (1 → 3)-linked β-d-mannopyranose, two different uronic acids and a lactyl group, with (1 → 4,6)-linked β-d-glucopyranose as the only branch point suggest a complex structure of this polymer. The dominant uronic acid is α-linked, but it remained unidentified. β-d-Glucuronic acid was present in lower amount. Their position as well as that of lactyl remained undetermined too. Different doses of orally administered EPS in guinea pigs evoked a significant decrease in cough effort and a decrease in airway reactivity. The antitussive efficacy and bronchodilator effect of higher doses of EPS were found to be similar to that of the antitussive drug codeine and the antiasthmatic salbutamol. Without significant cytotoxicity on the RAW 264.7 cells, EPS stimulated the macrophage cells to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and prostaglandins (PGs) and nitric oxide (NO) via induction of COX-2 and iNOS expression, respectively, suggesting that this biopolymer potentiates an early innate immune response and can therefore be used as a new immune modulator.

Mineralization of hydrogel biomaterials is desirable to improve their suitability as materials for bone regeneration. In this study, gellan gum (GG) hydrogels were formed by simple mixing of GG solution with bioactive glass microparticles of 45S5 composition, leading to hydrogel formation by ion release from the amorphous bioactive glass microparticles. This resulted in novel injectable, self-gelling composites of GG hydrogels containing 20% bioactive glass. Gelation occurred within 20 min. Composites containing the standard 45S5 bioactive glass preparation were markedly less stiff. X-ray microcomputed tomography proved to be a highly sensitive technique capable of detecting microparticles of diameter approximately 8 μm, that is, individual microparticles, and accurately visualizing the size distribution of bioactive glass microparticles and their aggregates, and their distribution in GG hydrogels. The widely used melt-derived 45S5 preparation served as a standard and was compared with a calcium-rich, sol-gel derived preparation (A2), as well as A2 enriched with zinc (A2Zn5) and strontium (A2Sr5). A2, A2Zn, and A2Sr bioactive glass particles were more homogeneously dispersed in GG hydrogels than 45S5. Composites containing all four bioactive glass preparations exhibited antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Composites containing A2Zn5 and A2Sr5 bioactive glasses supported the adhesion and growth of osteoblast-like cells and were considerably more cytocompatible than 45S5. All composites underwent mineralization with calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite upon incubation in simulated body fluid. The extent of mineralization appeared to be greatest for composites containing A2Zn5 and 45S5. The results underline the importance of the choice of bioactive glass when preparing injectable, self-gelling composites.

Stereospecific nucleation of mesoporous hybrid microspheres composed of CaCO3 and carrageenan was appended to one side of bacterial cellulose membrane synthesized in static cultures of Gluconacetobacter hansenii to develop an implantable drug delivery device. The synthesis of the hybrid microparticles proceeds by self-assembly mechanism in the presence of calcium and contains tailorable amounts of doxorubicin. However, in the absence of the particles, doxorubicin was distributed along the BC film, but without control release of drug. Infrared spectroscopy, confocal and scanning electron microscopies analyses demonstrate that the doxorubicin is entrapped inside the hybrid particles with approximately 80% drug loading compared to the 11% obtained for native bacterial cellulose. Doxorubicin content in the hybrid particles can be increased by a factor of 10 (from 258.6 to 2586.3 nmol ml−1), and also by the quantities of particles regulated by the CaCO3–carrageenan content and the physicochemical microenvironment. The hybrid BC system can be considered as smart device since the kinetic release of doxorubicin from the hybrid cellulose system rise from 1.50 to 2.75 μg/membrane/day when the pH decreases from 7.4 to 5.8 at 37 °C, a pathologic simulated environment. The hybrid microparticle system can be potentially used as an implantable drug delivery system for personalized oncological therapies.

The structures of polysaccharides (PS) isolated from Lactobacillus rhamnosus LOCK 0900 and results from stimulation of mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BM-DC) and human embryonal kidney (HEK293) cells stably transfected with Toll-like receptors (TLR) upon exposure to these antigens were studied. L. rhamnosus LOCK 0900 produces PS that differ greatly in their structure. The polymer L900/2, with a high average molecular mass of 830 kDa, is a branched heteropolysaccharide with a unique repeating unit consisting of seven sugar residues and pyruvic acid, whereas L900/3 has a low average molecular mass of 18 kDa and contains a pentasaccharide repeating unit and phosphorus. Furthermore, we found that both described PS neither induce cytokine production and maturation of mouse BM-DC nor induce signaling through TLR2/TLR4 receptors. However, they differ profoundly in their abilities to modulate the BM-DC immune response to the well-characterized human isolate Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. Exposure to L900/2 enhanced interleukin-10 (IL-10) production induced by L. plantarum WCFS1, while in contrast, L900/3 enhanced the production of IL-12p70. We conclude that PS, probably due to their chemical features, are able to modulate the immune responses to third-party antigens. The ability to induce regulatory IL-10 by L900/2 opens up the possibility to use this PS in therapy of inflammatory conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, whereas L900/3 might be useful in reverting the antigen-dependent Th2-skewed immune responses in allergies.
