Whey fermented by Enterococcus faecalis M157 exhibits antiinflammatory and antibiofilm activities against oral pathogenic bacteria

초록

The aim of the present study was to investigate the antiinflammatory and antibiofilm effects of whey fermented by Enterococcus faecalis M157 (M157-W) against oral pathogenic bacteria. The M157-W significantly inhibited IL-1β, IL-6, and nitric oxide induced by the lipopolysaccharide of Porphyromonas gingivalis in RAW 264.7 cells. The M157-W also inhibited the production of IL-1β and IL-8 in human periodontal ligament cells. Treatment with M157-W suppressed the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases as well as the activation of nuclear factor-κB in RAW 264.7 cells stimulated by P. gingivalis lipopolysaccharide. Furthermore, M157-W dose-dependently inhibited Streptococcus mutans biofilm, whereas unfermented whey did not inhibit the biofilm. Treatment with M157-W significantly suppressed gtfB, gtfC, and gtfD gene expression in S. mutans compared with the control (0 μg/mL), indicating that M157-W inhibits S. mutans biofilm formation by reducing the synthesis of extracellular polymeric substances. Collectively, these results suggest that M157-W has antiinflammatory and antibiofilm activities against oral pathogenic bacteria. © 2022 American Dairy Science Association
