Abstract

Asthma is a chronic disease with impacts on public health. It affects the airways causing pulmonary inflammation mediated by CD4 T cells type Th2, eosinophilia, mucus hypersecretion, and elevated IgE. The unbalance between cytokines and transcription factors is an important feature in asthma. Probiotics has gaining highlight as a therapy for chronic diseases. Thus, we investigate the Lactobacillus bulgaricus (Lb) effect in murine allergic asthma. BALB/c-mice were sensitized to ovalbumin (OA) on days 0 and 7 and were challenged from day 14-28 with OA. Mice received Lb seven days prior to sensitization and it was kept until day 28. The Lb attenuated the eosinophils infiltration, mucus and collagen secretion, IgE production, pro-inflammatory cytokines, TLR4 expression, GATA3, STAT6 and RORγt in lung. Otherwise, Lb increased the anti-inflammatory cytokines, the T-bet and foxp3. Finally, Lb attenuated the allergic asthma-induced inflammation and airway remodeling by interfering on Th1/Th2 cytokines and STAT6/T-bet transcription factors.
