Abstract
Aims
The aim of this study was to determine the antiviral activity of four probiotic metabolites (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacetrium species) against rotavirus in vitro infection monitored by the NSP 4 protein production and Ca2+ release.
Methods and Results
The antiviral effect of the metabolites was performed due a comparison between a blocking model and an intracelullar model on MA 104 cells, with the response of NSP 4 production and Ca2+ liberation measured by flow cytometry. Significant results were obtained with the metabolites of Lactobacillus casei, and Bifidobacterium adolescentis in the reduction of the protein production (P = 0·04 and P = 0·014) and Ca2+ liberation (P = 0·094 and P = 0·020) in the intracellular model, which suggests a successful antiviral activity against RV infection.
Conclusions
This study demonstrates that probiotic metabolites were able to interfere with the final amount of intracellular NSP 4 protein and a successful Ca2+ regulation, which suggests a new approach to the mechanism exerted by probiotics against the rotavirus infection.
Significance and Impact of the Study
A novel anti‐rotaviral effect exerted by probiotic metabolites monitored by the NSP 4 protein during the RV in vitro infection and the effect on the Ca2+ release is reported; suggesting a reduction on the impact of the infection by decreasing the damage of the cells preventing the electrolyte loss.
