[II-18-13] Mucus-binding factor regulate the adhesion ability of Lactobacillus rhamnosusto intestinal mucosa
[Objective] Immunomodulatoryprobiotics (immunobiotics) have been considered a promising substitute for antimicrobials in livestock field due to their positive effects against gastrointestinal disorders.The mucus-binding factor (MBF), a bacterial surface protein that adhere to the intestinal mucosa and subsequently affects host immunity.Therefore, we elucidate the of MBF in the mucin-adhesion ability of L. rhamnosusin vitro by using gene-knockout technique. [Methods] Thembf-gene was knocked out from theL. rhamnosus genomeby double-crossover in pSG+E2 according to the protocol described by Yamauchi et al. (2019)1.Then, adhesion ability of knockout strain to mucin was evaluated by Biacore assay in soluble human colonic mucin (sHCM-A) and soluble porcine intestinal epithelial mucin (sPIM). [Results] We have successfully created the mbf-knockout (Δmbf)strain of L. rhamnosus. When the wild type and Δmbfwere compared, Δmbfshowed significantly decreased adhesion to sPIM, but not to sHCM-A.
