Probiotic bacteria have the ability to alter immune response conferring treatment to inflammatory diseases. In the current study, probiotic Lactobacillus strains were subjected to adhesion to epithelial Caco-2 cells. Subsequently, gene expression of pro-and anti-inflammatory genes were studied under three stimulation conditions (which includes LPS-challenge, stress induction and pathogens invasion). Herein, immunomodulatory activity of native Lactobacillus strains (n = 3) were compared to L. rhamnosus GG. The studied strains had downregulated the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (CKs) (like TNF-alpha, IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6 and IL-8) and up-regulated the anti-inflammatory CKs like TGF beta 1, IL-4, and IL-10. Gene expression of TLR2 has also been noted. Strain-specific interactions were noticed during the different probiotic treatment. Further, phylogenetic dendrogram of mucin adhesion domain suggested the interaction of Lactobacillus and Listeria species, explaining competitive colonization and exclusion mechanism in an ecological niche. Overall, isolate L. paraplantarum. MTCC 9483 has effectively modulated induced conditions by its anti-inflammatory activity.
