Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study investigated the mechanism which Lactobacillus brevis-derived poly P exhibited the beneficial function. An immunostaining indicated that poly P was captured to plasma membrane via integrin β1 in caco2/bbe cells. The uptake of poly P was reduced by the inhibition of integrin β1 as well as caveolin-1, which a major component of lipid rafts. The function of poly P, including the induction of Hsp27 and enhancement of the intestinal barrier function, was suppressed by the inhibition of caveolin-1, illustrating that the function of poly P was mediated by the endocytic pathway. High-throughput sequencing revealed poly P induced tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3), which contributes to the cytoprotection including upregulation of intestinal barrier function.
