This study identified a novel candidate probiotic Lactobacillus helveticus WHH2580 from traditional fermented foods, which showed immunomodulatory activity by enhancing natural killer cell activity and splenic lymphocyte proliferation in mice. Fermented milk with this strain exhibited increased resistance to gastrointestinal conditions.
Several bacterial strains from traditional fermented foods were screened on a large scale to identify novel candidate probiotics that can be used as starters. Two in vitro cellular models were used to identify strains with immunomodulatory activity. Three strains with pro-inflammatory activity were selected, and their recovery effect was tested in vivo in an immunosuppressed murine model. Only Lactobacillus helveticus WHH2580 enhanced natural killer cell activity and splenic lymphocyte proliferation. Furthermore, milk fermented using the strain WHH2580 exerted an immunomodulatory effect with enhanced resistance to gastrointestinal conditions, including strong adhesion to HT-29 cells. Whole genome sequencing revealed the presence of a circular chro-mosome and two circular plasmids; no antibiotic resistance or putative virulence genes were discovered. These findings indicate the safety and positive role of L. helveticus WHH2580 in maintaining host health in mice and suggest that milk fermented with this strain can deliver this strain and thus promote immunity.
