Allergic asthma is a chronic disease mainly characterised by eosinophil inflammation and airway remodelling. Many studies have shown that the gut microbiota of allergic individuals differs from that of non-allergic individuals. Although high levels of bifidobacteria have been associated with healthy persons, Bifidobacterium adolescentis ATCC 15703, a gut bacteria, has been associated with allergic individuals in some clinical studies. The relationship between B. adolescentis ATCC 15703 and asthma or allergies has not been well elucidated, and its effect may be dependent on the host’s genetic profile or disease state. To elucidate this question, we evaluated the role of preventive B. adolescentis ATCC 15703 treatment on experimental allergic airway inflammation in two genetically different mouse strains, Balb/c and C57BL/6 (B6). Balb/c mice display a greater predisposition to develop allergic responses than B6 mice. Oral preventive treatment with B. adolescentis ATCC 15703 modulated experimental allergic airway inflammation, specifically in Balb/c mice, which showed decreased levels of eosinophils in the airway. B6 mice did not exhibit any significant alterations in eosinophils but showed an increased influx of total leukocytes and neutrophils into the airway. The mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of these bacteria in experimental allergic mice may involve products of bacteria metabolism, as dead bacteria did not mimic the ability of live B. adolescentis ATCC 15703 to attenuate the influx of eosinophils into the airway. To conclude, preventive oral B. adolescentis ATCC 15703 treatment can attenuate the major characteristic of allergic asthma, eosinophil airway influx, in Balb/c but not B6 mice. These results suggest that oral treatment with this specific live bacterial strain may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of allergic airway disease, although its effect is mouse-strain-dependent.

Allergic asthma is a chronic disease mainly characterised by eosinophil inflammation and airway remodelling. Many studies have shown that the gut microbiota of allergic individuals differs from that of non-allergic individuals. Although high levels of bifidobacteria have been associated with healthy persons, Bifidobacterium adolescentis ATCC 15703, a gut bacteria, has been associated with allergic individuals in some clinical studies. The relationship between B. adolescentis ATCC 15703 and asthma or allergies has not been well elucidated, and its effect may be dependent on the host’s genetic profile or disease state. To elucidate this question, we evaluated the role of preventive B. adolescentis ATCC 15703 treatment on experimental allergic airway inflammation in two genetically different mouse strains, Balb/c and C57BL/6 (B6). Balb/c mice display a greater predisposition to develop allergic responses than B6 mice. Oral preventive treatment with B. adolescentis ATCC 15703 modulated experimental allergic airway inflammation, specifically in Balb/c mice, which showed decreased levels of eosinophils in the airway. B6 mice did not exhibit any significant alterations in eosinophils but showed an increased influx of total leukocytes and neutrophils into the airway. The mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of these bacteria in experimental allergic mice may involve products of bacteria metabolism, as dead bacteria did not mimic the ability of live B. adolescentis ATCC 15703 to attenuate the influx of eosinophils into the airway. To conclude, preventive oral B. adolescentis ATCC 15703 treatment can attenuate the major characteristic of allergic asthma, eosinophil airway influx, in Balb/c but not B6 mice. These results suggest that oral treatment with this specific live bacterial strain may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of allergic airway disease, although its effect is mouse-strain-dependent.
