Abstract
The present study examined the effect of Enterococcus durans cell free supernatant (CFS) on interleukin (IL) 8, 10 and 1β gene expressions in the intestinal cell line HT-29 treated with Staphylococcus aureus CFS. HT-29 cells were incubated with E. durans CFS or S. aureus CFS, or S. aureus CFS plus E. durans CFS. All concentrations of E. durans CFS did not show cytotoxicity, while the highest treatment (44.9 μg/mL) with S. aureus CFS induced significant cell death. S. aureus CFS did not modify IL-1β gene expression, while E. durans CFS alone or in combination with S. aureus CFS reduced it. Treatment with S. aureus CFS induced greater expression of the IL-8 gene compared to S. aureus CFS plus E. durans CFS. S. aureus CFS alone or in combination with E. durans CFS increased the expression of the IL-10 gene, while E. durans CFS alone did not modify it. These results suggest a potential protective role of the E. durans secretome in mitigating the inflammatory environment in intestinal cells. This treatment could be useful to protect against possible contact with dangerous soluble microbial products present in food.
