JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202603000-00044/figure1/v/2025-06-16T082406Z/r/image-tiff Parkinson's disease is characterized by synucleinopathy-associated neurodegeneration. Previous studies have shown that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has beneficial effects in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine. However, the effect of GLP-1 on intrinsic synuclein malfunction remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 on parkinsonism in SncaA53T transgenic mice and explored the underlying mechanisms. Our data showed that Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 inhibited dopaminergic neuronal death, reduced pathological aggregation of α-synuclein, and decreased movement disorders in SncaA53T transgenic mice. Furthermore, Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 downregulated lipopolysaccharide-related inflammation, reduced cerebral activation of microglia and astrocytes, and promoted cell survival via the GLP-1 receptor/PI3K/Akt pathway in the substantia nigra. Additionally, Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 decreased serum levels of pro-inflammatory molecules including lipopolysaccharide, lipopolysaccharide binding protein, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6. Gut histopathology and western blotting further revealed that Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 increased the expression of gut integrity-related proteins and reduced lipopolysaccharide-related inflammation by reversing gut dysbiosis in SncaA53T transgenic mice. Our findings showed that the beneficial effect of Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 on parkinsonism traits in SncaA53T transgenic mice is mediated by microglial polarization and the reversal of dysbiosis. Collectively, our findings suggest that Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 is a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Bioprotective LAB3 cells that produce bacteriocin-like substances were entrapped in 4% (w/w) sodium alginate matrices, either with or without 10% (w/w) sodium caseinate. The effects of bead formulation-alginate alone or combined with caseinate, with or without the addition of 20% (w/w) MRS broth or M17 broth-on the culturability of LAB3 cells within the beads and their anti activity were assessed over 12 days of storage at 30 °C in closed bottles. Calcium-alginate-caseinate beads supplemented with MRS broth proved most effective in preserving both culturability and anti- activity.

Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase 1B (DHOD1B) is one of several flavoproteins that utilize active half-sites. These enzymes have two flavin cofactors (FAD and FMN) that each interact with a specific reductant/oxidant substrate/product. Electrons gained at one-half-site must be transmitted to the other half-site and iron-sulfur centers between the flavin cofactors serve in this role.

Introduction: Segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) colonization dynamics are crucial for host immune regulation. Given this, the present study specifically examined the functions of SFB flagellin in bacterial adhesion, cellular internalization, and immune modulation.
Methods: and were engineered to express murine and rat SFB flagellin genes.

Bacterial biofilms attach to various surfaces and represent an important clinical and public health problem, as they are highly recalcitrant and are often associated with chronic, nonhealing diseases and healthcare-associated infections. Antibacterial agents are often not sufficient for their elimination and have to be combined with mechanical removal. Mechanical forces can be generated by actuating nonspherical (anisotropic) magnetically responsive nanoparticles in a rotating magnetic field.
