In Vitro Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Peptides Obtained by Tryptic Shaving of Surface Proteins of LMD-9

, a lactic acid bacterium widely used in the dairy industry, is consumed regularly by a significant proportion of the population. Some strains show in vitro anti-inflammatory activity which is not fully understood. We hypothesized that peptides released from the surface proteins of this bacterium during digestion could be implied in this activity. Consequently, we prepared a peptide hydrolysate by shaving and hydrolysis of surface proteins using trypsin, and the origin of peptides was checked by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. Most of the identified peptides originated from bacterial cell surface proteins. The anti-inflammatory activity of peptide hydrolysate was investigated under inflammatory conditions in two cell models. Peptide hydrolysate significantly decreased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-8 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human colon epithelial HT-29 cells. It also reduced the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-8, IL-1β and the protein expression levels of Pro-IL-1β and COX-2 in LPS-stimulated THP-1 macrophages. The results showed that peptides released from bacterial surface proteins by a pancreatic protease could therefore participate in an anti-inflammatory activity of LMD-9 and could prevent low-grade inflammation.
