摘要
Lactobacillus fermentum can exert antiaging effects, but their roles are strain-specific, and little is known about the molecular mechanisms in some strains. This study investigated the antiaging effects of L. fermentum WC2020 (WC2020) isolated from Chinese fermented pickles and the underlying mechanism of the action in Caenorhabditis elegans. WC2020 enhanced the mean lifespan of L1-stage and L4-stage worms by 22.67% and 12.42%, respectively, compared with Escherichia coli OP50 (OP50), a standard food source for C. elegans. WC2020-induced longevity was accompanied by an increase in body length and mitochondrial transmembrane potential and a reduction in lipid accumulation and the production of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde. Moreover, WC2020 increased the production of glutathione, superoxide dismutases, and catalases and altered the transcripts of many phenotype-related genes. Furthermore, WC2020-fed jnk-1 rather than akt-2 or pmk-1 loss-of-function mutants showed similar lifespans to OP50-fed worms. Correspondingly, WC2020 significantly upregulated the expression of jnk-1 rather than genes involved in insulin-like, p38 MAPK, bate-catenin, or TGF-beta pathway. Moreover, the increase in body length, mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and antioxidant capability and the decrease in lipid accumulation induced by WC2020 were not observed in jnk-1 mutants. Additionally, WC2020 increased the expression of daf-16 and the proportion of daf-16::GFP in the nucleus, and increased lifespan disappeared in WC2020-fed daf-16 loss-of-function mutants. In conclusion, WC2020 activated the JNK/DAF-16 pathway to improve mitochondria function, reduce oxidative stress, and then extend the longevity of nematodes, suggesting WC2020 could be a potential probiotic targeting JNK-mediated antioxidant pathway for antiaging in food supplements and bioprocessing. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Aging has a profound impact on the global economy and human health and could be delayed by specific diets and nutrient resources. This study demonstrated that Lactobacillus fermentum WC2020 could be a potential probiotic strain used in food to promote longevity and health via the JNK-mediated antioxidant pathway.
