Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and degenerative disease that causes pain, cartilage deformation, and joint inflammation. Lactobacillus species have been used as dietary supplements to induce the production of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory factors. The goal of this study was to determine whether Lactobacillus acidophilus ameliorates monosodium iodoacetate-induced OA. L. acidophilus showed anti-nociceptive properties and protected against cartilage destruction. It also downregulated the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and increased the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines in the joints of OA rats. L. acidophilus additionally restored the balance between anabolic and catabolic factors in chondrocytes from OA patients. These results suggest that L. acidophilus can alleviate OA-associated pain and delay the progression of the disease by inhibiting proinflammatory cytokine production and reducing cartilage damage.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007779 Lactobacillus acidophilus A species of gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria isolated from the intestinal tract of humans and animals, the human mouth, and vagina. This organism produces the fermented product, acidophilus milk. Lactobacillus amylovorus
D008297 Male Males
D010003 Osteoarthritis A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.
