Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of oral administration of probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum FLPL05 on the lifespan and intestinal barrier of aged mice. L. plantarum FLPL05 significantly prolonged the lifespan of naturally aged mice, maintained the integrity of intestinal mucosal barrier, and reduced the inflammation level. The analysis of intestinal microbiota revealed that L. plantarum FLPL05 increased the relative abundance of Firmicutes and decreased the abundance of Bacteroides, accompanied by the increased proportions of Lactobacillus and Desulfovibrio in intestinal microbiota as well as the reduced proportions of Roseburia and Parabacteroides. The intestinal proteomics revealed that the oral administration of L. plantarum FLPL05 significantly upregulated the tight junction and simultaneously inhibited the expression of apoptotic-related proteins. The immunohistochemistry results also indicated that L. plantarum FLPL05 promoted the expression of tight junction proteins (ZO-1 and occludin) and reduced the apoptosis of intestinal cells. In addition, L. plantarum FLPL05 and the fermented supernatant increased the activity of HT-29. L. plantarum FLPL05 prolonged the lifespan by improving the health of the intestinal tract after aging and may be a potential probiotic and nutritional supplement for the elderly people.

Keywords: Aging intestinal; Apoptosis; Lactiplantibacillus plantarum; Tight junction proteins.
