<i>Streptococcus</i> <i>thermophilus</i> ST285 Alters Pro-Inflammatory to Anti-Inflammatory Cytokine Secretion against Multiple Sclerosis Peptide in Mice

Probiotic bacteria have beneficial effects to the development and maintenance of a healthy microflora that subsequently has health benefits to humans. Some of the health benefits attributed to probiotics have been noted to be via their immune modulatory properties suppressing inflammatory conditions...

Some of the health benefits attributed to probiotics have been noted to be via their immune modulatory properties suppressing inflammatory conditions. Hence, probiotics have become prominent in recent years of investigation with regard to their health benefits. As such, in the current study, we determined the effects of <i>Streptococcus thermophilus</i> to agonist MBP<sub>83&#8722;99</sub> peptide immunized mouse spleen cells. It was noted that <i>Streptococcus thermophilus</i> induced a significant increase in the expression of anti-inflammatory IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 cytokines, and decreased the secretion of pro-inflammatory IL-1&#946; and IFN-&#947;. Regular consumption of <i>Streptococcus thermophilus</i> may therefore be beneficial in the management and treatment of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3425/10/2/126probiotics<i>streptococcus thermophilus</i>st285mbp<sub>83–99</sub> peptidemannanimmune modulationmultiple sclerosisagonist peptide
