We hypothesized that soybeans fermented with Bacillus spp. for 48 h (chungkookjang) would be rich in poly-γ-glutamate (γ-PGA) and would have greater efficacy for improving insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, min6 cells, and PC12 neuronal cells. We screened 20 different strains of B. subtillus and B. amyloliquefaciens spp. for γ-polyglutamate (PGA) production and their anti-diabetic and anti-dementia activities in cell-based studies. Chungkookjang made with two B. amyloliquefaciens spp. (BA730 and BA731) were selected to increase the isoflavonoid and γ-PGA. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was higher in 3T3-L1 adipocytes given both chungkookjang extracts than in the cells given vehicle (control). The ethanol extract of BA731 (BA731-E) increased the uptake the most. Triglyceride accumulation decreased in BA731-E and BA731-W and the accumulation increased in BA730-W and BA730-E. The mRNA expression of fatty acid synthetase and acetyl CoA carboxylase was much lower in BA731-E and BA731-W and it was higher in BA730-W than the control. BA730-E and BA730-W also increased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ activity. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion increased with the high dosage of BA730-W and BA730-E in insulinoma cells, compared to the control. Insulin contents and cell survival in high glucose media were higher in cells with both BA731-E and BA730-E. Triglyceride deposition and TNF-α mRNA expression were lower in BA731 than the control. The high-dosage treatment of BA730-E and BA731-E increased differentiated neuronal cell survival after treating amyloid-β(25-35) compared to the control. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and ciliary neurotrophic factor, indices of neuronal cell proliferation, were higher in BA730 and BA731 than in the control. Tau expression was also reduced in BA731 more than the control and it was a similar level of the normal-control. In conclusion, BA730 increased PPAR-γ activity and BA731 enhanced insulin sensitivity in the brain and periphery. BA730 and BA731 prevented and alleviated the symptoms of type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease with different pathways.

“…DNJ is an effective glucosidase inhibitor and can reduce blood glucose. The reduced blood glucose will increase antioxidant properties ( Ribas et al, 2012 ; Adewale et al, 2016 ; Cai et al, 2017 ) (with increase of SOD, CAT and reduced GSH, and decrease of MDA) and anti-inflammatory ( Shen et al, 2004 ) properties. Up-regulation of SOD, CAT and reduced GSH levels, and the down-regulation of MDA levels are associated with the inhibition of NF-κB pathway ( An and Shang, 2018 ), which affect the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, COX-1, COX-2, and PGE2 ( Figure 12 ).…”

“…Thus, DNJ may affect the levels of the oxidation-related molecules. DNJ can be isolated from mulberry ( Jiang et al, 2014 ; Wang et al, 2014 , 2015 ; E et al, 2017 ; Hu et al, 2017 ) or produced by Bacillus species ( Lee et al, 2013 ; Seo et al, 2013 ; Do et al, 2015 ; Cai et al, 2017 ). DNJ may be a potential drug for treating post-prandial hyperglycemia with few side effects ( Asai et al, 2011 ; Jiang et al, 2014 ).…”

Gastric ulcer (GU) is a main threat to public health. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may prevent GU but related mechanism remains unclear. DNJ was extracted from the supernatants of Bacillus subtilis by using ethanol and purified by using CM-Sepharose chromatography. A GU mouse model was induced by indomethacin. The functional role of DNJ in GU mice was explored by measuring the main molecules in the NF-KappaB pathway. After the model establishment, 40 GU mice were evenly assigned into five categories: IG (received vehicle control), LG (10 μg DNJ daily), MG (20 μg DNJ daily), HG (40 μg DNJ daily), and RG (0.5 mg ranitidine daily). Meanwhile, eight healthy mice were assigned as a control group (CG). After 1-month therapy, weight and gastric volume were investigated. The levels of serum inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α), antioxidant indices [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and reduced glutathione (GSH)], and oxidant biomarker malondialdehyde (MDA) were examined via ELISA. Meanwhile, inflammatory cytokine (IL-6 and TNF-α) levels, and key molecules (NF-κB p65), cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1 and COX2) involved in NF-κB pathway, were analyzed by using Western Blot. COX-1 and COX-2 levels were further measured by immunohistochemistry. The effects of DNJ on gastric functions were explored by measuring the changes of Motilin (MOT), Substance P (SP), Somatostatin (SS), and Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in GU mouse models with ELISA Kits. The results indicated that DNJ prevented indomethacin-caused increase of gastric volume. DNJ improved histopathology of GU mice when compared with the mice from IG group (P < 0.05). DNJ consumption decreased the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α (P < 0.05). DNJ increased antioxidant indices of GU mice by improving the activities of SOD, CAT and reduced GSH, and reduced MDA levels (P < 0.05). DNJ increased the levels of prostaglandin E2, COX-1, COX2, and reduced the levels of and NF-κB p65 (P < 0.05). DNJ showed protection for gastric functions of GU mice by reducing the levels of MOT and SP, and increasing the levels of SS and VIP. DNJ treatment inactivates NF-κB signaling pathway, and increases anti-ulceration ability of the models.

“…can be an alternate, safe and cost effective therapy for the management of metabolic syndromes. In one such study, solid state fermentation of soybean with B. amyloliquefaciens resulted in production of 1-Deoxynojirimycin, a potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitor ( Cai et al, 2017 ). On similar lines, 13 weeks of dietary intervention with B. licheniformis 67 fermented soybean paste significantly prevented obesity related parameters in diet induced obese C57BL/6J mice ( Choi et al, 2016 ).…”

Spore-forming bacilli are being explored for the production and preservation of food for many centuries. The inherent ability of production of large number of secretory proteins, enzymes, antimicrobial compounds, vitamins, and carotenoids specifies the importance of bacilli in food chain. Additionally, Bacillus spp. are gaining interest in human health related functional food research coupled with their enhanced tolerance and survivability under hostile environment of gastrointestinal tract. Besides, bacilli are more stable during processing and storage of food and pharmaceutical preparations, making them more suitable candidate for health promoting formulations. Further, Bacillus strains also possess biotherapeutic potential which is connected with their ability to interact with the internal milieu of the host by producing variety of antimicrobial peptides and small extracellular effector molecules. Nonetheless, with proposed scientific evidences, commercial probiotic supplements, and functional foods comprising of Bacillus spp. had not gained much credential in general population, since the debate over probiotic vs pathogen tag of Bacillus in the research and production terrains is confusing consumers. Hence, it’s important to clearly understand the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of selective beneficial Bacillus spp. and their substantiation with those having GRAS status, to reach a consensus over the same. This review highlights the probiotic candidature of spore forming Bacillus spp. and presents an overview of the proposed health benefits, including application in food and pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, the growing need to evaluate the safety of individual Bacillus strains as well as species on a case by case basis and necessity of more profound analysis for the selection and identification of Bacillus probiotic candidates are also taken into consideration.
