🦠 Bifidobacterium adolescentis (Bifi-94) strain, isolated from healthy individuals, shows promise in reducing gut inflammation. Oral administration of Bifi-94 to mice treated with dextran sulfate sodium helped prevent weight loss and lower colonic inflammation scores.

🔬 Research found that Bifi-94 significantly increased IL-10 levels in mouse colonic tissue by boosting regulatory B (Breg) cells, not regulatory T cells. These Breg cells, identified as CD19+CD11b+, significantly increased in the peritoneal cavity (PEC) after Bifi-94 treatment.

🧬 Peptidoglycan (PG), a component from Bifi-94, was identified as the key factor stimulating IL-10 production in Breg cells. This PG activated TLR2-dependent signaling in Breg cells, which also enhanced IL-10 production in human colonic B cells.
