OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.This study evaluates the immunomodulatory effect of EPS-L26 isolated from the probiotic strain Lactobacillus (Limosilactobacillus) reuteri L26 Biocenol™ in a model of enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) infection by establishing monocultures consisting of the IPEC-J2 cell line or monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs), and by creating a 3D model of cell co-cultures formed from IPEC-J2 and moDCs. The immunomodulatory and immunoprotective potential of the EPS-L26 used was confirmed in monocultures in the experimental group of pretreated cells as well as in a co-culture model on directly treated IPEC-J2 cells cultured on embedded chambers (apical compartment) and also on indirectly treated moDCs cultured in the lower chamber (basolateral compartment), However, in the co-culture model, the expression of inflammasome cytokines at the mRNA level was attenuated compared to monocultures. Pretreatment of cells on the embedded chambers showed immunoprotective properties of EPS-L26, which were reflected by reduced mRNA levels in both cell lines compared to the ETEC challenge. Our results suggest intercellular communication via humoral signals originating from IPEC-J2 cells by affecting gene expression of indirectly treated moDCs located in the basolateral compartment.

OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishThe aim of this study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of EPS-L26 isolated from the probiotic strain Lactobacillus (Limosilactobacillus) reuteri L26 Biocenol™, in a model of infection with an enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) by establishing monocultures consisting of the IPEC-J2 cell line or monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) and creating a 3D model of cell co-cultures established with IPEC-J2 cells and moDCs. The immunomodulatory and immunoprotective potential of used EPS-L26 was confirmed in monocultures in an experimental group of pretreated cells, where our study showed that pretreatment of cells with EPS-L26 and subsequent exposure to infection resulted in significantly down-regulated mRNA levels of genes encoding inflammatory cytokines compared to ETEC challenge in single cell cultures (in IPEC-J2, decreased mRNA levels for TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-12p35; in moDCs, decreased mRNA levels for IL-1β). Similar to monocultures, we also demonstrated the immunostimulatory potential of the ETEC strain in the co-culture model on directly treated IPEC-J2 cells cultivated on insert chambers (apical compartment) and also on indirectly treated moDCs cultivated in the lower chamber (basolateral compartment), however in the co-culture model the expression of inflammatory cytokines was attenuated at the mRNA level compared to monocultures. Pretreatment of the cells on the insert chambers pointed to the immunoprotective properties of EPS-L26, manifested by decreased mRNA levels in both cell lines compared to ETEC challenge (in IPEC-J2 decreased mRNA levels for IL-12p35; in moDCs decreased mRNA levels for IL-1β, IL-6). Our results suggest intercellular communication via humoral signals derived from IPEC-J2 cells by influencing the gene expression of indirectly treated moDC cells located in the basolateral compartment.
