1 Introduction

Nowadays food plays a vital role in inhibiting diseases andensuring health One of the most important challenges facingcustomers is the safety of high-quality healthy foods andthe creation of a new diet that focuses on the prevention ofchronic diseases and disorders [1] Functional food acts as

beneficial compounds or foods containing microorganismsexhibiting a pivotal role in strengthening and enrichinghealth well-being and suppressing some strict disease forinstance obesity diabetes atherosclerosis heart diseaseretinopathy kidney toxicity atherosclerosis hypertensiondiabetic foot ulcers and cystic fibrosis [2 3] The most vitalcomponents of new functional foods are called probiotics

which can increase host immunity and improve healthbenefits [4] Recently various conventional microorganismshave been used for probiotic cultures in fermented foodsFurthermore probiotics include a wide range of pharma-ceuticals or foods and special dietary applications suchas juices nutrition bars infant formulas and cosmetics[5]

The medical application of Lactobacillus brevis KB 290isolated from ldquoSugukirdquo is a traditional Japanese pickle thatplays a crucial role against people with influenza [6] In addi-tion it plays a vital role in suppressing inflammation causedby nitric oxide [7] Several studies have been conducted onseveral Lactobacillus brevis strains isolated from traditionalEgyptian dairy products which have been tested to confirmtheir antimicrobial effects These results show the extremeactivity of Lactobacillus brevis B23 among 38 species [8]Lactobacillus brevis is a vital biological organism to producebioactive 120574-aminobutyric acid biologically [9] Formerly 120574-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been attracting attentionbecause it is the most abundant inhibitory neurotransmitterthat maintains the neurotransmitter functions of the humancentral nervous system Furthermore GABA may not havethe ability to penetrate the human blood-brain barrier [10]gad antibodies a symptom of type 1 diabetes can be detectedbefore the onset of clinical disease and the identification of asubset of patients with adult autoimmune disease [11]

Currently more than a thousand LAB strains have beensequenced and deposited in the NCBI GenBank databaseTherefore genetic assays were performed inmost continuousstrains in the presence or absence of gad operon and genesencoding glutamate decarboxylase in most of the sequencedstrains Moreover there are not only differences betweenmicrobial species from different sources in the gad enzymaticproperties but also differences between the subspecies as wellLactobacillus different sources of gad subunit compositionand molecular weight have a huge difference Lactobacillusbrevis gad has two subunits molecular weight of 57 60 kDa[12]120574-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a nonprotein four-

carbon free amino acid synthesized by the irreversible120572-decarboxylation reaction of L-glutamic acid or its saltsa pyridoxal-50-phosphate-dependent enzyme (PLP activevitamin B6)[13] GABA is permitted as a dietary ingredientand its nutrients have shown antihypertensive and antide-pressant activities as the two main functions of the host afteroral administration [9] However the GABA content in a fewnatural plants and animal products has been further studiedin the LABs because it also possesses the ability to produceGABA

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease char-acterized by selective destruction of the pancreatic betacells [14] Furthermore it is a metabolic disease inducedby abnormal insulin secretion by damaged islet 120573 cellsThat damage accrues resulting in insulin insufficiency whichcan lead to life-threatening hyperglycemia that manifestsclinically as weight loss polyuria polyphagia and polydipsia[15] LAB could be utilized to grab foodborne diseasesresearchers used Salmonella typhimurium which causes

vomiting abdominal pain nausea and diarrhea [16] Listeriamonocytogenes which causes abortion and gastrointestinaldiseases [17] Staphylococcus comets which is involved inharmful gastroenteritis and E coli thereby exacerbating thesyndrome and colitis [18]

The main objective of the present study was to examinethe new Lactobacillus brevis probiotic strains that could effi-ciently produce high levels of bioactive 120574-Aminobutyric Acid(GABA) by exploring gad gene in addition study potentialprobiotic properties in vitro where they remain in severecase of simulation gastrointestinal juice and different typesof antibiotics and moreover antimicrobial activity againstfoodborne pathogens and finally control the development oftype 1 diabetes in vivo

plusmn 019 and 115 plusmn 021 respectively) where the pH is shown inTable 3 as follows (445 plusmn 020 and 459 plusmn 023 respectively)Meanwhile the comparison between the time levels of thegrowth rate in Table 2 shows highly significant differencesbetween all-time levelswith the highestmean time at 27 hours(197plusmn 001) and lowest at zero hours (022plusmn 003)whereas pHat 33 hours was the highest values (370 plusmn 001) and the lowestvalues at zero hours (556 plusmn 005)

Meanwhile Table 4 displayed the highest survival rateof strain KLDS 10373 at 3 hours and 03 of bile salts(197plusmn007b) Moreover the lowest survival rate in KLDS10727 after 9 hours and 2 of bile (178plusmn007) Otherwisethe effect of bile salts concentration on growth rate and pH (Plt0001) was observed and there was a significant correlationbetween the growth rate of strains and pH values (097) Inaddition according to Table 2 there was a little significantdifference between two strains KLDS 10727 showed highergrowth rate and pH values than KLDS 10373 079 plusmn 008 and076 plusmn 008 490 plusmn 010 and 492 plusmn 010 respectively

As Duncanrsquos multiple range test mentioned above thecomparison between time levels of growth rate showedhighly significant differences between all-time levels with thehighest pH 140 and the lowest 110 Furthermore Table 3showed the highest pH 411 and the lowest 580 Table 2showed the comparison between the concentration levels ofthe growth rate that explained high significant differencesbetween all categories of bile concentration with the highestmean in zero of the bile (108 plusmn 015) and was lower at 2(052 plusmn 007) while pH with the highest values in zero (460plusmn 016) and lowest in 2 of bile (521 plusmn 010)

34 Resistance of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 to DifferentTypes of Antibiotics Sensitivity to antibiotics is the mostimportant factor in assessing the safety of probiotics andaffecting the growth rate of strains and pH Moreover it isa potential threat to vital applications [33] Figure 3 showedthe effect of different types of antibiotics on the viabilityof Lactobacillus brevis strains The obtained data in Table 2referring to all factors and all possible interactions werehighly significant (Plt0001) The correlation between bacte-rial growth rate and pH values (099) was highly significantas well KLDS 10373 showed high growth rate and pH thanKLDS 10727 045 plusmn 006 and 044 plusmn 006 for growth rate533 plusmn 006 and 532 plusmn 006 for pH respectively Time levelsshowed significant differences between all-time categorieswith the highest growth rate at 24 hours (010 plusmn 015) and thelowest values at 3 hours (005 plusmn 0003) Additionally Table 3showed the highest pH values at zero time (574 plusmn 001) andthe lowest values at 24 hours (455plusmn 014) Antibiotics showedhighly significant differences between all antibiotics with thehighest growth rate of control (080 plusmn 014) and the lowest inampicillin (005 plusmn 0003) and the same results for pHwith thehighest pH in chloramphenicol (571plusmn 001) and the lowest incontrol (497 plusmn 014) It is expected since when LAB did notgrow there is no lactic acid production and vice versa

Table 4 showed the factors affecting survival rate wassignificant as well as the interaction between the factors(P lt00001) KLDS 10373 showed the highest survival at 3hours of streptomycin (161 plusmn 001 275 plusmn 002 and 236

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

gmdl Besides the total serum albumin (ALB) level is 350-550 gLb Further the total plasma globulin (GLUB) level is250-400 gLb [62]

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

which can increase host immunity and improve healthbenefits [4] Recently various conventional microorganismshave been used for probiotic cultures in fermented foodsFurthermore probiotics include a wide range of pharma-ceuticals or foods and special dietary applications suchas juices nutrition bars infant formulas and cosmetics[5]

The medical application of Lactobacillus brevis KB 290isolated from ldquoSugukirdquo is a traditional Japanese pickle thatplays a crucial role against people with influenza [6] In addi-tion it plays a vital role in suppressing inflammation causedby nitric oxide [7] Several studies have been conducted onseveral Lactobacillus brevis strains isolated from traditionalEgyptian dairy products which have been tested to confirmtheir antimicrobial effects These results show the extremeactivity of Lactobacillus brevis B23 among 38 species [8]Lactobacillus brevis is a vital biological organism to producebioactive 120574-aminobutyric acid biologically [9] Formerly 120574-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been attracting attentionbecause it is the most abundant inhibitory neurotransmitterthat maintains the neurotransmitter functions of the humancentral nervous system Furthermore GABA may not havethe ability to penetrate the human blood-brain barrier [10]gad antibodies a symptom of type 1 diabetes can be detectedbefore the onset of clinical disease and the identification of asubset of patients with adult autoimmune disease [11]

Currently more than a thousand LAB strains have beensequenced and deposited in the NCBI GenBank databaseTherefore genetic assays were performed inmost continuousstrains in the presence or absence of gad operon and genesencoding glutamate decarboxylase in most of the sequencedstrains Moreover there are not only differences betweenmicrobial species from different sources in the gad enzymaticproperties but also differences between the subspecies as wellLactobacillus different sources of gad subunit compositionand molecular weight have a huge difference Lactobacillusbrevis gad has two subunits molecular weight of 57 60 kDa[12]120574-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a nonprotein four-

carbon free amino acid synthesized by the irreversible120572-decarboxylation reaction of L-glutamic acid or its saltsa pyridoxal-50-phosphate-dependent enzyme (PLP activevitamin B6)[13] GABA is permitted as a dietary ingredientand its nutrients have shown antihypertensive and antide-pressant activities as the two main functions of the host afteroral administration [9] However the GABA content in a fewnatural plants and animal products has been further studiedin the LABs because it also possesses the ability to produceGABA

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease char-acterized by selective destruction of the pancreatic betacells [14] Furthermore it is a metabolic disease inducedby abnormal insulin secretion by damaged islet 120573 cellsThat damage accrues resulting in insulin insufficiency whichcan lead to life-threatening hyperglycemia that manifestsclinically as weight loss polyuria polyphagia and polydipsia[15] LAB could be utilized to grab foodborne diseasesresearchers used Salmonella typhimurium which causes

vomiting abdominal pain nausea and diarrhea [16] Listeriamonocytogenes which causes abortion and gastrointestinaldiseases [17] Staphylococcus comets which is involved inharmful gastroenteritis and E coli thereby exacerbating thesyndrome and colitis [18]

The main objective of the present study was to examinethe new Lactobacillus brevis probiotic strains that could effi-ciently produce high levels of bioactive 120574-Aminobutyric Acid(GABA) by exploring gad gene in addition study potentialprobiotic properties in vitro where they remain in severecase of simulation gastrointestinal juice and different typesof antibiotics and moreover antimicrobial activity againstfoodborne pathogens and finally control the development oftype 1 diabetes in vivo

plusmn 019 and 115 plusmn 021 respectively) where the pH is shown inTable 3 as follows (445 plusmn 020 and 459 plusmn 023 respectively)Meanwhile the comparison between the time levels of thegrowth rate in Table 2 shows highly significant differencesbetween all-time levelswith the highestmean time at 27 hours(197plusmn 001) and lowest at zero hours (022plusmn 003)whereas pHat 33 hours was the highest values (370 plusmn 001) and the lowestvalues at zero hours (556 plusmn 005)

Meanwhile Table 4 displayed the highest survival rateof strain KLDS 10373 at 3 hours and 03 of bile salts(197plusmn007b) Moreover the lowest survival rate in KLDS10727 after 9 hours and 2 of bile (178plusmn007) Otherwisethe effect of bile salts concentration on growth rate and pH (Plt0001) was observed and there was a significant correlationbetween the growth rate of strains and pH values (097) Inaddition according to Table 2 there was a little significantdifference between two strains KLDS 10727 showed highergrowth rate and pH values than KLDS 10373 079 plusmn 008 and076 plusmn 008 490 plusmn 010 and 492 plusmn 010 respectively

As Duncanrsquos multiple range test mentioned above thecomparison between time levels of growth rate showedhighly significant differences between all-time levels with thehighest pH 140 and the lowest 110 Furthermore Table 3showed the highest pH 411 and the lowest 580 Table 2showed the comparison between the concentration levels ofthe growth rate that explained high significant differencesbetween all categories of bile concentration with the highestmean in zero of the bile (108 plusmn 015) and was lower at 2(052 plusmn 007) while pH with the highest values in zero (460plusmn 016) and lowest in 2 of bile (521 plusmn 010)

34 Resistance of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 to DifferentTypes of Antibiotics Sensitivity to antibiotics is the mostimportant factor in assessing the safety of probiotics andaffecting the growth rate of strains and pH Moreover it isa potential threat to vital applications [33] Figure 3 showedthe effect of different types of antibiotics on the viabilityof Lactobacillus brevis strains The obtained data in Table 2referring to all factors and all possible interactions werehighly significant (Plt0001) The correlation between bacte-rial growth rate and pH values (099) was highly significantas well KLDS 10373 showed high growth rate and pH thanKLDS 10727 045 plusmn 006 and 044 plusmn 006 for growth rate533 plusmn 006 and 532 plusmn 006 for pH respectively Time levelsshowed significant differences between all-time categorieswith the highest growth rate at 24 hours (010 plusmn 015) and thelowest values at 3 hours (005 plusmn 0003) Additionally Table 3showed the highest pH values at zero time (574 plusmn 001) andthe lowest values at 24 hours (455plusmn 014) Antibiotics showedhighly significant differences between all antibiotics with thehighest growth rate of control (080 plusmn 014) and the lowest inampicillin (005 plusmn 0003) and the same results for pHwith thehighest pH in chloramphenicol (571plusmn 001) and the lowest incontrol (497 plusmn 014) It is expected since when LAB did notgrow there is no lactic acid production and vice versa

Table 4 showed the factors affecting survival rate wassignificant as well as the interaction between the factors(P lt00001) KLDS 10373 showed the highest survival at 3hours of streptomycin (161 plusmn 001 275 plusmn 002 and 236

36 Screening of the Antagonistic Properties of Lactobacillusbrevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 Strains against Food-borne Pathogenic Bacteria Due to the biological diversity

functions of probiotic bacteria there is a growing need fornew strains of the LAB to play an important role in identifyingdominant bacterial communities within intestinal ecosystem[35] In this study KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have beentested against some foodborne pathogens namely Salmonellatyphimurium ATCC 14028 E coli IQCC 10126 Listeriamonocytogenes IQCC22221 and Staphylococcus aureus IQCC22035 Table 5 showed the strongest antimicrobial activity ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains against all the indicatorpathogens as expressed in terms of diameter of clear zones(mm) Therefore the clear zone ranging from (193 plusmn 007 to247 plusmn 003 mm) against all test indicators

37 Caco-2 Cell Adhesion Assay The most important con-siderations for the selection of probiotics are not only theability to survive and transit through the digestive systembut also the adhesion establishment or reproduction withinthe gastrointestinal tract The obtained results in Figure 5(A) showed that the adhesion of the KLDS 10727 and

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

gmdl Besides the total serum albumin (ALB) level is 350-550 gLb Further the total plasma globulin (GLUB) level is250-400 gLb [62]

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

24 Evaluation of KLDS 10727 and KIDS 10373 In VitroDigestion Models Mimicking the Gastrointestinal Tract Invitro assessment has been tested for the viability of KLDS10727 and KLDS 10373 for example growth rate bile saltssimulated intestinal juice (SIJ) at different pH levels underaerobic or anaerobic conditions [20] and surviving in a widerange of different antibiotics types The antagonism of variousfoodborne pathogens and furthermore all experiments wereexpressed in triplicate using the MRS broth as a blank Inaddition the absorbance was measured with a wavelength of620 nm and the data were expressed as OD

241 Standard Curve of Growth Rate and pH for KLDS 10727and KLDS 10373 strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373strains were inoculated (1 vv) and grown in MRS brothat 37∘C under aerobic conditions The growth bacteria weremonitored using a spectrophotometer (F-7000 Hitachi HighTechnologies 155 Shenzhen China) and pHwas determinedby using pH meter (MP 220 Mettler Toledo GreifenseeSwitzerland)

242 Resistance of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 to DifferentBile Salts Concentration in MRS Incubated at 37∘C KLDS10727 and KLDS 10373 were tested for hydrolyzed bile saltactivity The strains were cultured in MRS broth added to03 1 and 2 (wv) of the bovine bile (Difco DB DiagnosticSystem reference 212820) and incubated at 37∘C underaerobic conditions then the tested media were obtained asa filtration solution through a 022 120583m filter (Critical SyringeFilters Critical Process Filtration Inc) The activated strainsin the MRS broth were taken without Ox gall powder as a

control [21] The following equation expressed the survivalpercentage of bile salts after 33 hours

Bile survival =logN1logN0times 100 (1)

N1 is absorbance of cultures in MRS broth containing 03 1and 2 bile salts (see [22]) log N0 is absorbance of culturesin MRS broth without bile salts

243 Resistance of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 to DifferentTypes of Antibiotics The microdilution protocol was used toassess the resistance of probiotic bacteria to different types ofantibiotics [23] with some modifications according to EFSAGuidance [24] The antibiotics ampicillin chloramphenicolerythromycin gentamycin kanamycin (Sigma Aldrich StLouis MO) and streptomycin (MP Biomedicals Santa AnaCA) and the amounts of the active compound were placedinto the broth media tube ampicillin (10 120583g) chloram-phenicol (30 120583g) erythromycin (15 120583g) gentamycin (10 120583g)kanamycin (30 120583g) and streptomycin (10 120583g) Cultures wereinoculated in MRS broth filtered through a 022-120583m filterand incubating aerobically at 37∘C overnight Furthermoreantibiotic stock solutions were prepared according to thefollowing formula

W = 1000Ptimes V times C (2)

where P is potency given by the manufacturer (120583g mg) Vis volume required (ml) C is final concentration of solution(multiples of 1000 mgL) and W is weight of antibiotic (mg)to be dissolved in volume V (mL) The data was expressedafter 24 hours as the following formula

Survival =logN1logN0times 100 (3)

Sensitivity of antibiotic = 100 minus survival (4)

logN1 is absorbance of culture 620 nm in MRS broth withdifferent antibiotic types and logN0 is absorbance of culture620 nm in MRS broth as a control

32 Assessment of Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS10373 In Vitro The in vitro results obtained in three mainTables 2 3 and 4 will be expressed to show the effect ofsome factors (strain types time level concentrations andinteraction of different parameters) as the equations of thestatistics model mentioned above

33 Determination of the Growth Rate and Bile Tolerance ofLactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 StrainsThe obtained results in Figure 2 showed the standard curveof growth rate and bile tolerant with the accumulated acidof KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains There was asignificant positive correlation between growth rate and pH(098) Duncan comparisons between strains showed highlysignificant differences betweenKLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373as shown in Table 2 KLDS 10727 showed a high growthrate and decreased pH values more than KLDS 10373 (124

plusmn 019 and 115 plusmn 021 respectively) where the pH is shown inTable 3 as follows (445 plusmn 020 and 459 plusmn 023 respectively)Meanwhile the comparison between the time levels of thegrowth rate in Table 2 shows highly significant differencesbetween all-time levelswith the highestmean time at 27 hours(197plusmn 001) and lowest at zero hours (022plusmn 003)whereas pHat 33 hours was the highest values (370 plusmn 001) and the lowestvalues at zero hours (556 plusmn 005)

Meanwhile Table 4 displayed the highest survival rateof strain KLDS 10373 at 3 hours and 03 of bile salts(197plusmn007b) Moreover the lowest survival rate in KLDS10727 after 9 hours and 2 of bile (178plusmn007) Otherwisethe effect of bile salts concentration on growth rate and pH (Plt0001) was observed and there was a significant correlationbetween the growth rate of strains and pH values (097) Inaddition according to Table 2 there was a little significantdifference between two strains KLDS 10727 showed highergrowth rate and pH values than KLDS 10373 079 plusmn 008 and076 plusmn 008 490 plusmn 010 and 492 plusmn 010 respectively

As Duncanrsquos multiple range test mentioned above thecomparison between time levels of growth rate showedhighly significant differences between all-time levels with thehighest pH 140 and the lowest 110 Furthermore Table 3showed the highest pH 411 and the lowest 580 Table 2showed the comparison between the concentration levels ofthe growth rate that explained high significant differencesbetween all categories of bile concentration with the highestmean in zero of the bile (108 plusmn 015) and was lower at 2(052 plusmn 007) while pH with the highest values in zero (460plusmn 016) and lowest in 2 of bile (521 plusmn 010)

34 Resistance of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 to DifferentTypes of Antibiotics Sensitivity to antibiotics is the mostimportant factor in assessing the safety of probiotics andaffecting the growth rate of strains and pH Moreover it isa potential threat to vital applications [33] Figure 3 showedthe effect of different types of antibiotics on the viabilityof Lactobacillus brevis strains The obtained data in Table 2referring to all factors and all possible interactions werehighly significant (Plt0001) The correlation between bacte-rial growth rate and pH values (099) was highly significantas well KLDS 10373 showed high growth rate and pH thanKLDS 10727 045 plusmn 006 and 044 plusmn 006 for growth rate533 plusmn 006 and 532 plusmn 006 for pH respectively Time levelsshowed significant differences between all-time categorieswith the highest growth rate at 24 hours (010 plusmn 015) and thelowest values at 3 hours (005 plusmn 0003) Additionally Table 3showed the highest pH values at zero time (574 plusmn 001) andthe lowest values at 24 hours (455plusmn 014) Antibiotics showedhighly significant differences between all antibiotics with thehighest growth rate of control (080 plusmn 014) and the lowest inampicillin (005 plusmn 0003) and the same results for pHwith thehighest pH in chloramphenicol (571plusmn 001) and the lowest incontrol (497 plusmn 014) It is expected since when LAB did notgrow there is no lactic acid production and vice versa

Table 4 showed the factors affecting survival rate wassignificant as well as the interaction between the factors(P lt00001) KLDS 10373 showed the highest survival at 3hours of streptomycin (161 plusmn 001 275 plusmn 002 and 236

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

atmosphere At the end of the assay Caco-2 cells were washedthree times with sterile PBS to remove unadhered KLDS10727 and KLDS 10373 cells

The Caco-2 monolayers were lysed by treatment withEDTA-trypsin solution for 3ndash5 min at 37∘C for disruptingthe adherent cells The Caco-2 lysate and the attached KLDS10727 and KLDS 10373 cells were plated on MRS agar plateafter serial dilution and counted after 24 hours of incubationat 37∘CThe adhesion ability of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373was determined using the following formula

Adhesion =logNtlogN0times 100 (6)

where logNt is the number of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373strains that adhered to theCaco-2monolayers and log N0 is atotal number of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains addedas a control blank

Moreover the direct microscopic examination methodwas used to disable the adhesion of KLDS 10727 and KLDS10373 with Caco2 cells after (15 plusmn 1 d) of cultivation asdescribed above The culture medium was replaced with anantibiotic-free medium one day prior to the adhesion assayAfterwards the cells were washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH = 72) KLDS 10727 and KLDS10373 strains were added to the prepared cell monolayersAfter 2 hours of incubation at 37∘C all monolayers werewashed 5 times with PBS to remove nonadherent bacteriaFinally binding between Lactobacillus brevis strains andCaco2 cells was examined by Gram-stained phase contrastmicroscopy (magnification fold 200 x) The adhered Lac-tobacillus brevis strains Caco2 cells were determined in 15randomly selected microscopic fields

31 PCRAmplification of the 16S rDNAand Sequence AnalysisFigure 1 showed the PCR amplification results of the presencegad gene and the nucleotide sequence of gad displayed the1407 bp Further our previous study reported the HPLCchromatogram analysis for GABA produced by KLDS 10727and KLDS 10373 was 198plusmn007 and 005plusmn005 gL respec-tively (data no shown) Several studies have shown that theanalysis of the sequence of nucleotide gad showed clonedgenes consisting of 1407 bp and 468 amino acids wereencoded [31]These results were closely related to the findingsby Hiraga et al [32] who suggested that the gad gene ofLactobacillus brevis IFO 12005 was 1440 bp Moreover Wuet al [19] reported that biochemical analysis and geneticscreening have confirmed the common existence of gadsystem in Lactobacillus brevis suggesting its species-specificcharacteristic of GABA production

32 Assessment of Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS10373 In Vitro The in vitro results obtained in three mainTables 2 3 and 4 will be expressed to show the effect ofsome factors (strain types time level concentrations andinteraction of different parameters) as the equations of thestatistics model mentioned above

33 Determination of the Growth Rate and Bile Tolerance ofLactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 StrainsThe obtained results in Figure 2 showed the standard curveof growth rate and bile tolerant with the accumulated acidof KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains There was asignificant positive correlation between growth rate and pH(098) Duncan comparisons between strains showed highlysignificant differences betweenKLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373as shown in Table 2 KLDS 10727 showed a high growthrate and decreased pH values more than KLDS 10373 (124

plusmn 019 and 115 plusmn 021 respectively) where the pH is shown inTable 3 as follows (445 plusmn 020 and 459 plusmn 023 respectively)Meanwhile the comparison between the time levels of thegrowth rate in Table 2 shows highly significant differencesbetween all-time levelswith the highestmean time at 27 hours(197plusmn 001) and lowest at zero hours (022plusmn 003)whereas pHat 33 hours was the highest values (370 plusmn 001) and the lowestvalues at zero hours (556 plusmn 005)

Meanwhile Table 4 displayed the highest survival rateof strain KLDS 10373 at 3 hours and 03 of bile salts(197plusmn007b) Moreover the lowest survival rate in KLDS10727 after 9 hours and 2 of bile (178plusmn007) Otherwisethe effect of bile salts concentration on growth rate and pH (Plt0001) was observed and there was a significant correlationbetween the growth rate of strains and pH values (097) Inaddition according to Table 2 there was a little significantdifference between two strains KLDS 10727 showed highergrowth rate and pH values than KLDS 10373 079 plusmn 008 and076 plusmn 008 490 plusmn 010 and 492 plusmn 010 respectively

As Duncanrsquos multiple range test mentioned above thecomparison between time levels of growth rate showedhighly significant differences between all-time levels with thehighest pH 140 and the lowest 110 Furthermore Table 3showed the highest pH 411 and the lowest 580 Table 2showed the comparison between the concentration levels ofthe growth rate that explained high significant differencesbetween all categories of bile concentration with the highestmean in zero of the bile (108 plusmn 015) and was lower at 2(052 plusmn 007) while pH with the highest values in zero (460plusmn 016) and lowest in 2 of bile (521 plusmn 010)

34 Resistance of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 to DifferentTypes of Antibiotics Sensitivity to antibiotics is the mostimportant factor in assessing the safety of probiotics andaffecting the growth rate of strains and pH Moreover it isa potential threat to vital applications [33] Figure 3 showedthe effect of different types of antibiotics on the viabilityof Lactobacillus brevis strains The obtained data in Table 2referring to all factors and all possible interactions werehighly significant (Plt0001) The correlation between bacte-rial growth rate and pH values (099) was highly significantas well KLDS 10373 showed high growth rate and pH thanKLDS 10727 045 plusmn 006 and 044 plusmn 006 for growth rate533 plusmn 006 and 532 plusmn 006 for pH respectively Time levelsshowed significant differences between all-time categorieswith the highest growth rate at 24 hours (010 plusmn 015) and thelowest values at 3 hours (005 plusmn 0003) Additionally Table 3showed the highest pH values at zero time (574 plusmn 001) andthe lowest values at 24 hours (455plusmn 014) Antibiotics showedhighly significant differences between all antibiotics with thehighest growth rate of control (080 plusmn 014) and the lowest inampicillin (005 plusmn 0003) and the same results for pHwith thehighest pH in chloramphenicol (571plusmn 001) and the lowest incontrol (497 plusmn 014) It is expected since when LAB did notgrow there is no lactic acid production and vice versa

Table 4 showed the factors affecting survival rate wassignificant as well as the interaction between the factors(P lt00001) KLDS 10373 showed the highest survival at 3hours of streptomycin (161 plusmn 001 275 plusmn 002 and 236

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

gmdl Besides the total serum albumin (ALB) level is 350-550 gLb Further the total plasma globulin (GLUB) level is250-400 gLb [62]

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

for one time according to a previously described procedure[28]

The nondiabetic control group received an injection ofcitrate buffer only 3 days post-STZ-injection glucose levelswere measured using a glucometer (Yuwell Jiangsu China)The mice with glucose levels higher than ge7 mmoldl wereconsidered diabetic and STZ-induced mice that had a lowerglucose level were excluded

262Weekly Determination of Glucose Level and BodyWeightof Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Mice Following bloodglucose blood glucose level and body weight of overnightfasting for 12 hours and 2 hours postprandial were assessedweekly Glucose levels weremeasured using a glucometer andglucose expressed as mmol dl

Glucose level = Postprandial 2 hours

minus Fasting 12 hours(7)

263 Plasma Biochemical Analyses After feeding for fourweeks fasting blood samples were collected from the ocularvein of each group and allowed to clot at 4∘C and then cen-trifuged at 12000 times g for 10 min The plasma was transferredto a new microcentrifuge tube and stored in a -80∘C for bio-chemical measurements The blood plasma was determinedfor serum lipids concentrations as triglyceride (TG) totalcholesterol (CHOL) high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL) low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) glucose(GLU) magnesium (Mg+2) which were measured Further-more liver functions were evaluated by assessing serum ala-nine aminotransferase (ALT) aspartate transaminase (AST)ASTALT total bile acid (TBA) albumin (ALB) globulin(GLUB) total protein (TP) Moreover determination ofkidney functions such as uric nitrogen (BUN) creatinine(CREA) uric acid (URIC) levels was assessed as well Alltest parameters were a determination by using a BeckmanCoulter UniCel DxC 800 (Beckman Coulter Miami FLUSA) analyzer

264 Serum Insulin Determination Mice were fed rodentchow for 4 weeks with injected daily with insulin (Sigma)using dose unit (05 units kg body weight) Insulin wasdiluted in acetic acid for a final injected volume of 100 120583lInsulin sensitivity was evaluated essentially as described bySurwit et al [29] Blood serum insulin was detected by

insulin determination ELISA kits (Meimian BiotechCo LtdYancheng China) The experimental process was accordingto the manufacturerrsquos instructions of insulin kits

265 Histological Evaluation The experimental proceduresused for routine histological examination of organs in micetissue were previously described [30] Briefly the mice organs(liver pancreas kidney and spleen) were removed andwashed by phosphate buffer (pH 72) and then fixed in 10 neutral formalin followed by dehydrating in gradientalcohol (75 85 95 and 100) and xylene (100) thenembedded in paraffin and sectioned at 5 mm thicknesssubsequently followed by staining in hematoxylin and eosinafter euthanasia tissues staining The sections were assessedby light microscopy (Olympus Japan) under 100 times magnifi-cations

27 Statistical Analysis All valueswere expressed as themeanplusmn standard deviation (SD) Aminimum of three independentexperiments was carried out for each assay The statisticalsignificance of data comparisons was determined using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) Values of p lt 005 wereconsidered statistically significant Statistical analysis usingSAS system software (version 91 SAS Institute Cary NCUSA) was used to calculate F values and compare betweenmeans byDuncanrsquos multiple range test Two statistical modelswere used to estimate phenotypic traits as follows

Yijk = 120583 + Ai + Bj + ABij + eijk (8a)

Yijkl = 120583 + Ai + Bj + Ck + ABij + ACik + BCjk

3 Results

31 PCRAmplification of the 16S rDNAand Sequence AnalysisFigure 1 showed the PCR amplification results of the presencegad gene and the nucleotide sequence of gad displayed the1407 bp Further our previous study reported the HPLCchromatogram analysis for GABA produced by KLDS 10727and KLDS 10373 was 198plusmn007 and 005plusmn005 gL respec-tively (data no shown) Several studies have shown that theanalysis of the sequence of nucleotide gad showed clonedgenes consisting of 1407 bp and 468 amino acids wereencoded [31]These results were closely related to the findingsby Hiraga et al [32] who suggested that the gad gene ofLactobacillus brevis IFO 12005 was 1440 bp Moreover Wuet al [19] reported that biochemical analysis and geneticscreening have confirmed the common existence of gadsystem in Lactobacillus brevis suggesting its species-specificcharacteristic of GABA production

32 Assessment of Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS10373 In Vitro The in vitro results obtained in three mainTables 2 3 and 4 will be expressed to show the effect ofsome factors (strain types time level concentrations andinteraction of different parameters) as the equations of thestatistics model mentioned above

33 Determination of the Growth Rate and Bile Tolerance ofLactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 StrainsThe obtained results in Figure 2 showed the standard curveof growth rate and bile tolerant with the accumulated acidof KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains There was asignificant positive correlation between growth rate and pH(098) Duncan comparisons between strains showed highlysignificant differences betweenKLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373as shown in Table 2 KLDS 10727 showed a high growthrate and decreased pH values more than KLDS 10373 (124

plusmn 019 and 115 plusmn 021 respectively) where the pH is shown inTable 3 as follows (445 plusmn 020 and 459 plusmn 023 respectively)Meanwhile the comparison between the time levels of thegrowth rate in Table 2 shows highly significant differencesbetween all-time levelswith the highestmean time at 27 hours(197plusmn 001) and lowest at zero hours (022plusmn 003)whereas pHat 33 hours was the highest values (370 plusmn 001) and the lowestvalues at zero hours (556 plusmn 005)

Meanwhile Table 4 displayed the highest survival rateof strain KLDS 10373 at 3 hours and 03 of bile salts(197plusmn007b) Moreover the lowest survival rate in KLDS10727 after 9 hours and 2 of bile (178plusmn007) Otherwisethe effect of bile salts concentration on growth rate and pH (Plt0001) was observed and there was a significant correlationbetween the growth rate of strains and pH values (097) Inaddition according to Table 2 there was a little significantdifference between two strains KLDS 10727 showed highergrowth rate and pH values than KLDS 10373 079 plusmn 008 and076 plusmn 008 490 plusmn 010 and 492 plusmn 010 respectively

As Duncanrsquos multiple range test mentioned above thecomparison between time levels of growth rate showedhighly significant differences between all-time levels with thehighest pH 140 and the lowest 110 Furthermore Table 3showed the highest pH 411 and the lowest 580 Table 2showed the comparison between the concentration levels ofthe growth rate that explained high significant differencesbetween all categories of bile concentration with the highestmean in zero of the bile (108 plusmn 015) and was lower at 2(052 plusmn 007) while pH with the highest values in zero (460plusmn 016) and lowest in 2 of bile (521 plusmn 010)

34 Resistance of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 to DifferentTypes of Antibiotics Sensitivity to antibiotics is the mostimportant factor in assessing the safety of probiotics andaffecting the growth rate of strains and pH Moreover it isa potential threat to vital applications [33] Figure 3 showedthe effect of different types of antibiotics on the viabilityof Lactobacillus brevis strains The obtained data in Table 2referring to all factors and all possible interactions werehighly significant (Plt0001) The correlation between bacte-rial growth rate and pH values (099) was highly significantas well KLDS 10373 showed high growth rate and pH thanKLDS 10727 045 plusmn 006 and 044 plusmn 006 for growth rate533 plusmn 006 and 532 plusmn 006 for pH respectively Time levelsshowed significant differences between all-time categorieswith the highest growth rate at 24 hours (010 plusmn 015) and thelowest values at 3 hours (005 plusmn 0003) Additionally Table 3showed the highest pH values at zero time (574 plusmn 001) andthe lowest values at 24 hours (455plusmn 014) Antibiotics showedhighly significant differences between all antibiotics with thehighest growth rate of control (080 plusmn 014) and the lowest inampicillin (005 plusmn 0003) and the same results for pHwith thehighest pH in chloramphenicol (571plusmn 001) and the lowest incontrol (497 plusmn 014) It is expected since when LAB did notgrow there is no lactic acid production and vice versa

Table 4 showed the factors affecting survival rate wassignificant as well as the interaction between the factors(P lt00001) KLDS 10373 showed the highest survival at 3hours of streptomycin (161 plusmn 001 275 plusmn 002 and 236

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

3 Results

31 PCRAmplification of the 16S rDNAand Sequence AnalysisFigure 1 showed the PCR amplification results of the presencegad gene and the nucleotide sequence of gad displayed the1407 bp Further our previous study reported the HPLCchromatogram analysis for GABA produced by KLDS 10727and KLDS 10373 was 198plusmn007 and 005plusmn005 gL respec-tively (data no shown) Several studies have shown that theanalysis of the sequence of nucleotide gad showed clonedgenes consisting of 1407 bp and 468 amino acids wereencoded [31]These results were closely related to the findingsby Hiraga et al [32] who suggested that the gad gene ofLactobacillus brevis IFO 12005 was 1440 bp Moreover Wuet al [19] reported that biochemical analysis and geneticscreening have confirmed the common existence of gadsystem in Lactobacillus brevis suggesting its species-specificcharacteristic of GABA production

32 Assessment of Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS10373 In Vitro The in vitro results obtained in three mainTables 2 3 and 4 will be expressed to show the effect ofsome factors (strain types time level concentrations andinteraction of different parameters) as the equations of thestatistics model mentioned above

33 Determination of the Growth Rate and Bile Tolerance ofLactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 StrainsThe obtained results in Figure 2 showed the standard curveof growth rate and bile tolerant with the accumulated acidof KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains There was asignificant positive correlation between growth rate and pH(098) Duncan comparisons between strains showed highlysignificant differences betweenKLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373as shown in Table 2 KLDS 10727 showed a high growthrate and decreased pH values more than KLDS 10373 (124

plusmn 019 and 115 plusmn 021 respectively) where the pH is shown inTable 3 as follows (445 plusmn 020 and 459 plusmn 023 respectively)Meanwhile the comparison between the time levels of thegrowth rate in Table 2 shows highly significant differencesbetween all-time levelswith the highestmean time at 27 hours(197plusmn 001) and lowest at zero hours (022plusmn 003)whereas pHat 33 hours was the highest values (370 plusmn 001) and the lowestvalues at zero hours (556 plusmn 005)

Meanwhile Table 4 displayed the highest survival rateof strain KLDS 10373 at 3 hours and 03 of bile salts(197plusmn007b) Moreover the lowest survival rate in KLDS10727 after 9 hours and 2 of bile (178plusmn007) Otherwisethe effect of bile salts concentration on growth rate and pH (Plt0001) was observed and there was a significant correlationbetween the growth rate of strains and pH values (097) Inaddition according to Table 2 there was a little significantdifference between two strains KLDS 10727 showed highergrowth rate and pH values than KLDS 10373 079 plusmn 008 and076 plusmn 008 490 plusmn 010 and 492 plusmn 010 respectively

As Duncanrsquos multiple range test mentioned above thecomparison between time levels of growth rate showedhighly significant differences between all-time levels with thehighest pH 140 and the lowest 110 Furthermore Table 3showed the highest pH 411 and the lowest 580 Table 2showed the comparison between the concentration levels ofthe growth rate that explained high significant differencesbetween all categories of bile concentration with the highestmean in zero of the bile (108 plusmn 015) and was lower at 2(052 plusmn 007) while pH with the highest values in zero (460plusmn 016) and lowest in 2 of bile (521 plusmn 010)

34 Resistance of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 to DifferentTypes of Antibiotics Sensitivity to antibiotics is the mostimportant factor in assessing the safety of probiotics andaffecting the growth rate of strains and pH Moreover it isa potential threat to vital applications [33] Figure 3 showedthe effect of different types of antibiotics on the viabilityof Lactobacillus brevis strains The obtained data in Table 2referring to all factors and all possible interactions werehighly significant (Plt0001) The correlation between bacte-rial growth rate and pH values (099) was highly significantas well KLDS 10373 showed high growth rate and pH thanKLDS 10727 045 plusmn 006 and 044 plusmn 006 for growth rate533 plusmn 006 and 532 plusmn 006 for pH respectively Time levelsshowed significant differences between all-time categorieswith the highest growth rate at 24 hours (010 plusmn 015) and thelowest values at 3 hours (005 plusmn 0003) Additionally Table 3showed the highest pH values at zero time (574 plusmn 001) andthe lowest values at 24 hours (455plusmn 014) Antibiotics showedhighly significant differences between all antibiotics with thehighest growth rate of control (080 plusmn 014) and the lowest inampicillin (005 plusmn 0003) and the same results for pHwith thehighest pH in chloramphenicol (571plusmn 001) and the lowest incontrol (497 plusmn 014) It is expected since when LAB did notgrow there is no lactic acid production and vice versa

Table 4 showed the factors affecting survival rate wassignificant as well as the interaction between the factors(P lt00001) KLDS 10373 showed the highest survival at 3hours of streptomycin (161 plusmn 001 275 plusmn 002 and 236

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

gmdl Besides the total serum albumin (ALB) level is 350-550 gLb Further the total plasma globulin (GLUB) level is250-400 gLb [62]

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

gmdl Besides the total serum albumin (ALB) level is 350-550 gLb Further the total plasma globulin (GLUB) level is250-400 gLb [62]

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

gmdl Besides the total serum albumin (ALB) level is 350-550 gLb Further the total plasma globulin (GLUB) level is250-400 gLb [62]

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

gmdl Besides the total serum albumin (ALB) level is 350-550 gLb Further the total plasma globulin (GLUB) level is250-400 gLb [62]

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

391 Serum Biochemistry Parameters Assay After overnightfasting mice have been killed and blood serum was col-lected and serum biochemistry parameters were measuredTable 6 displayed the serum lipids concentrations as triglyc-eride (TG) total cholesterol (CHOL) high-density lipopro-tein cholesterol (HDL) low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL) glucose (GLU)magnesium (Mg+2) as well All treatedgroups were highly significant whereas Cont and STZshowed a high level of TG (254plusmn091 and 206plusmn084mmolLrespectively) Notably all groups displayed a high level ofMg+2 and low level of LDL Further Cont group showedthe highest level of CHOL (725plusmn093b) On the other handINS+STZ showed the highest level of glucose (940plusmn384b)Worthy of notice S1 falls within the reference range of TGCHOL HDL LDL and GLUTherefore it can conclude thatCont showed the highest level of TG CHOL HDL andLDL while STZ showed the highest level of Mg+2 MoreoverINS+STZ showed the lowest level of CHOL andMg+2 and thehighest level of GLU On the contrary S1 expressed the lowestlevel of TG LDL and GLU

310 Liver Functions Parameters Liver functions parametersevaluated were the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT)aspartate transaminase (AST) ASTALT total bile acid(TBA) albumin (ALB) globulin (GLUB) total protein (TP)Table 6 showed (TP) total protein of all treated experi-ments falls in the average reference range except STZ thatwas (8490plusmn3466) (ALT) serum alanine aminotransferaseshowed a dramatic increase in all treated groups and outof average reference range except (S2) (3600plusmn1470) Inaddition (AST) aspartate aminotransferase showed a signif-icant increase in the levels of all treatment groups and alsoexceeded the mean of the reference range Further total bileacid (TBA) was expressed at a reasonable level for all treatedgroups while albumin (ALB) and globulin (GLUB) displayresults are coherent for all treated groups where it falls in

the average of the reference range Briefly STZ showed thehighest level of TP AST ALB and GLUB compared to alltreated groups

311 Kidney Function Parameter Table 6 determined thekidney functions parameters such as uric nitrogen (BUN)creatinine (CREA) and uric acid (URIC) levels The resultsdisplayed not alarming increase in uric nitrogen (BUN) andfurther creatinine (CREA) and uric acid (URIC) levels aswell All treated groups fall in the average of the referencerange except Cont and S1 which expressed the lowest level ofuric acid (URIC) (7650plusmn3123b and 12560plusmn5128ab respec-tively)

312 Insulin Blood Plasma Assay Table 6 exhibited that allthe treated groups fall within the reference range averageTherefore Cont and S1 displayed the heights of groupsin insulin levels as 1352plusmn023 and 1113plusmn028 respectivelyMeanwhile STZ and INS+STZ expressed the lowest levels as999plusmn 036 and 1060plusmn021 respectively

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

gmdl Besides the total serum albumin (ALB) level is 350-550 gLb Further the total plasma globulin (GLUB) level is250-400 gLb [62]

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

gmdl Besides the total serum albumin (ALB) level is 350-550 gLb Further the total plasma globulin (GLUB) level is250-400 gLb [62]

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

gmdl Besides the total serum albumin (ALB) level is 350-550 gLb Further the total plasma globulin (GLUB) level is250-400 gLb [62]

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

BioMed Research International 17

to grow in high bile concentrations (2) Similar results werepreviously reported by other researchers to study vital LABstrains from different environments [42] The resistance ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains of bile salts in MRSincubated at 37∘C with 03 concentration of bile salts wasclosely related to bile level as reported by Sahadeva et al[38] In the gastrointestinal tract observations were commonbetween comparing different strains and different concentra-tions of bile such as 03 1 and 2These concentrations wereclosely associated with Hyacinta et al [43] who explained thevitality of microorganisms affected by concentrations of bilesalts

Antibiotic is one of the most important growth deter-minants of most microbes and their resistance to growthis a criterion for selection of probiotic bacteria Thereforein the present study the obtained data were in agreementwith Klare et al [44] who confirmed that LAB is usuallysensitive to antibiotics such as chloramphenicol de AlmeidaJunior et al [36] studied that 96 of disabling strains weresensitive to chloramphenicol Furthermore our findingswerein agreement with Tulumoglu et al [35] who reported that90 of the tested Lactobacillus strains were resistant togentamicin meanwhile other studied strains were sensitiveto ampicillin and erythromycin

Lactobacillus brevis strains are a facultative anaerobic ormicroaerophilic LAB Therefore these explain our obtainedresults Wu and Shah [45] concluded that ventilation has abad effect on the feasibility and production of lactic acidand GABA by Lactobacillus brevis The obtained resultswere consistent with those of Zhang [46] who showed theperformance of antiacids of isolated strains In addition Wuet al [19] reported that pancreatic fluid had no significanteffect on survival of LAB

Lactic acid bacteria have extremely antagonists againstfoodborne pathogenic bacteria [47] Gautam and Sharma[48] report similar studies with Lactobacillus spicheri G2showing 60 of hostility against different test indicatorsFurther the obtained results were closely correlated withthe findings of Fossi et al [49] A number of studiesreported the potential antimicrobial mechanisms of specificmicroorganisms for the control pathogens are indicated as(i) production of antimicrobial compounds (ii) productionof bacteriocins (iii) competitive action on nutrients (iv)inhibition of binding due to competition and (v) formationof the immune system [50] Moreover these findings agreedwith our obtained results that show an extremely antagonismagainst common foodborne pathogenesis

The adhesion of the intestinal mucosa is one of themost important features of probiotic bacteria to reproductionand produce biological compounds in the host digestivesystem [51] LAB adhesion is a complex process involvingthe communication between the bacterial cell membraneand the interacting surfaces Ehrmann et al [52] reportedthat the ability of LAB to adhere to other cells is relatedto cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of bacteria Theability to hold hydrocarbons can be expressed as cell surfacehydrophobicity [53] Moreover Solieri et al [34] reportedthat the hydrophobicity above 70 is considered highlyhydrophobic The obtained results were consistent with the

study conducted by Zhang [46] who found that the highesthydrophobicity of the strains was 9215Our results showedthat KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 have a similar adhesionvalue to the recognized probiotic strain Lb rhamnosus GGsuggesting that it may be well-colonized in vivo

Recently diabetes has become the most common diseasein the world It causes many complications hence high bloodglucose levels may always damage tissues especially capillar-ies and glomerular mesenchymal cells [54] Streptozotocin(STZ) has been used clinically as a chemotherapeutic agentin the treatment of pancreatic cell 120573-cell carcinoma [55]Reference ranges for blood tests are sets of values used by ahealth professional to interpret a set of medical test resultsfrom blood samples In addition examples of referencedomains are given varying by age sex health and ethnicitya method of analysis and measurement units Individualresults should always be interpreted using the reference rangeprovided by the test laboratory

Glucose serum (GLU) was reported by Wasserman [56]The blood glucose test can measure the livers ability toproduce glucose usually the last function to be lost if theliver fails Glucose levels are usually the lowest in themorningbefore the first meal of the day and increase after meals forone to two hours Blood sugar levels outside the normalrange may be indicative of a medical condition The higherlevel systematically refers to the high level of blood sugarLow levels are known as hypoglycemia Among the mostobserved cases the obtained results are in close agreementwith American Diabetes Association and Sacks et al [57 58]that suggest diabetes diagnosis historically included fastingblood glucose more than 7 mmol dL (126 mg dL) to111 mmoldL (200 mg dL) or higher with hyperglycemiasymptoms or an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test of 2hours

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the fivemajor groups of lipoproteins HDL molecules are sometimesreferred to as ldquogood cholesterolrdquo because it can transfer fatmolecules from artery walls reduce pharyngeal accumula-tion and thus help to prevent or harden atherosclerosisTherefore the obtained results displayed that LactobacillusbrevisKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains have a slight sim-ilarity in the recommended ranges according to theAmericanHeart Association the National Institutes of Health and theNational Demining Program providing a set of guidelines onHDL levels and cardiovascular risk gt 155 mmol L [59]

Changes in ALT and AST levels are often used forliver pathological examination AST ALT is an importantbiochemical indicator [60] ALT is mainly present in the livercell plasmaWhen the liver cells are less damaged the changesin membrane permeability of the liver cells will elevate theALT blood levels On the other hand the increased levelsof AST blood are the result of severe damage to liver cellsIn other words the higher AST ALT ratio means moresevere damage to liver cells The findings results were inagreement with Prakasam et al [61] who reported that theuse of streptozotocin increases the level of AST ALT andALP in blood plasma Furthermore the obtained results ofKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 fall in the reference range andare in close similarity to total protein (TP) level 600-800

Renal dysfunction can be fatal for diabetic patients [63]Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the main causes ofrenal failure [63] Diabetic nephropathy high blood pressureand high blood sugar are the main causes of renal failureKidney function in the kidney disease is an indicator of theactivity vitality and overall health of kidney The obtainedresults refer to the creatinine levels of all treated groupsfalling in the range of safe creatinine levels that is one ofthe most important kidney function tests and the resultsof this parameter are used to evaluate kidney functions[64]

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

4 Discussion

One of the key terms of probiotics is that theymust withstandthe harsh conditions of gastrointestinal juices and furtherthe ability to survive in the presence of bile pancreatic juiceuntil the intestine is sufficient in number and provides healthbenefits for the host [37 38] In this study two strains ofLactobacillus breviswere genetically determined and tested invitro for some inappropriate simulated gastrointestinal con-ditions such as acidity bile tolerance antibiotic resistanceand antimicrobial activity Furthermore in vivo experimentssuch as blood glucose body weight blood plasma histologi-cal assay were tested to demonstrate the role of Lactobacillusbrevis strains in the intervention of type 1 diabetes

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 isGram-positive of lactic acid bacteria which is a rod-typestrain with high GABA generating capacity due to the gad

gene To confirm the identification of KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains 16S rDNA was amplified and 540 bpof the DNA sequence was determined (unpublished data)The GenBank database was used to search for genes as the16S rDNA sequence that revealed the highest similarity inthe nucleotide chain was 99with L brevis (GenBank accessno AF515220) and L brevis (GenBank access no AF515219)Therefore the strains KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 are oneof L brevis strains

The basic logistics model of SAS software suitable forexperimental data showed that the factors (strains timeand interaction between them) had significant effects onthe growth rate of KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainsand pH values (P lt00001) Therefore the obtained datawere consistent with Liao et al [39] who reported thatpH values declined dramatically rapid in the first 9 hoursand then slowly declined attributed to strains that reachedthe stationary phase In general LAB growth reaches thestationary phase when the pH is less than 45 Zhang andYew [40] reported that the acid resistance of LAB strains isdependent on specific strains and species

Lactobacillus brevis strains were examined and tested forresistance and survival in acidic environment as well asfor growing in the presence of 03-2 bile salts a similarconcentration was found in the small intestine [41] Theobtained results showed Lactobacillus brevis strains were able

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes

Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes glucoseuptake glycogenesis lipogenesis and protein synthesis ofskeletal muscle and fat tissue through the tyrosine kinasereceptor pathway In addition insulin is the most impor-tant factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeosta-sis as it counteracts glucagon and other catabolic hor-mones epinephrine glucocorticoid and growth hormoneThe obtained results are closely similar to Graham et al[65] who indicated that the insulin range in blood plasmafalls between 3 and 19 uIUml Finally based on previ-ous studies the role of probiotics in the development ofT1D demonstrated that oral probiotics inhibit the devel-opment of T1D in diabetic mice model Therefore pro-biotics showed the ability to the intervention of diabetes[15]

5 Conclusions

Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strainswere exhibited to be extremely viable in in vitro experimentsand exhibited survival in in vitro digestionmodelsmimickingthe gastrointestinal conditions Moreover it shows significanthostility against foodborne pathogenic bacteria In additionKLDS 10727 and KLDS 10373 strains expressed adequateGABA that demonstrate a superb physiological effect in invivo experiment On the other hand it shows a significanteffect in lowering blood glucose levels or insulin in plasmaIn addition most functional liver and kidney tests fall withinthe reference range of plasma blood parameters Thereforewe recommended using Lactobacillus brevis KLDS 10727 andKLDS 10373 strains widely in the market as a natural sourceof GABA in pharmaceutical and food applications to reducethe threat of type 1 diabetes
