Immunosuppressed states render individuals more susceptible to potential diseases, indicating the need for effective strategies to bolster immune functions. Objectives: Although the immunostimulatory effects of various probiotics have been studied, the specific effects and molecular mechanisms of Lactococcus lactis OTG1204 (OTG1204) remain unknown. In this study, the aim was to investigate the molecular mechanisms of OTG1204 in RAW 264.7 macrophages, the key effector cells of the innate immune system involved in host defense and inflammatory responses. Additionally, in this study, the effects of OTG1204 on cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced immunosuppression states were investigated, thereby demonstrating its potential as an immune stimulant. Methods: To assess the macrophage activation ability and underlying mechanisms of OTG1204, RAW 264.7 cells were utilized with transfection, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and quantitative real-time PCR analyses. Furthermore, to evaluate the immunostimulatory effects under immunosuppressed conditions, CTX-induced immunosuppression mice model was employed, and analyses were performed using hematoxylin and eosin staining, flow cytometry, and microbiota examination. Results: OTG1204 activated RAW 264.7 macrophages, leading to increased production of nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, and cytokines. This immune activation was mediated through the upregulation of toll-like receptor 2, which subsequently activated the nuclear factor-\u03baB (NF-kB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)\/activator protein 1 (AP-1) pathways, thereby stimulating the immune response. In CTX-treated mice, OTG1204 recovered body weight, spleen, and mesenteric lymph node indices, and natural killer cell activity. It re-established populations of innate and adaptive immune cells and activated T cells to secrete cytokines. We also examined the gut barrier integrity and microbiota composition to assess OTG1204\u2019s impact on intestinal health, as these factors play a significant role in immune enhancement. OTG1204 enhanced gut barrier integrity by upregulating mucin 2 and tight junction proteins and modulated the gut microbiota by restoring the Firmicutes\/Bacteroidetes balance and reducing the abundance of Actinobacteria and Tenericutes. Conclusion: These results suggest that OTG1204 may serve as an effective probiotic for immune enhancement and gut health management by targeting the NF-\u03baB and MAPK\/AP-1 pathways, with minimal side effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16213629","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,25]],"date-time":"2024-10-25T08:42:13Z","timestamp":1729845733000},"page":"3629","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Immunostimulation Signaling via Toll-like Receptor 2 Activation: A Molecular Mechanism of Lactococcus lactis OTG1204 In Vitro and In Vivo"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Hyeon-A","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Biochemistry, College of Pharmacy, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Fundamental Pharmaceutical Science, Graduate School, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seo-Yun","family":"Jang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Biochemistry, College of Pharmacy, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Fundamental Pharmaceutical Science, Graduate School, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min-Ji","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Biochemistry, College of Pharmacy, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Fundamental Pharmaceutical Science, Graduate School, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seung Wook","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ottogi Research Center, Anyang 14060, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Choon Gil","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ottogi Research Center, Anyang 14060, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joo Hyun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ottogi Research Center, Anyang 14060, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-1907-4819","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hye-Jin","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ottogi Research Center, Anyang 14060, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1537-1544","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiheon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ottogi Research Center, Anyang 14060, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jong Kil","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Fundamental Pharmaceutical Science, Graduate School, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyung-Sook","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Biochemistry, College of Pharmacy, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3141-3727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyung-Tae","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Biochemistry, College of Pharmacy, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Fundamental Pharmaceutical Science, Graduate School, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Primorac, D., Vrdoljak, K., Brlek, P., Pavelic, E., Molnar, V., Matisic, V., Erceg Ivkosic, I., and Parcina, M.
