AI Technical Summary
Existing Lactobacillus rhamnosus strains have poor tolerance and adhesion in the gastric acid environment, making it difficult to effectively lower blood sugar. There is a lack of strains on the market that have good gastric mucosal adhesion and tolerance to gastric acid.
A strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus, MFHZ40, was screened out. Its high adhesiveness was verified by surface hydrophobicity, self-polymerization ability and Caco-2 cell adhesion assay. Combined with the evaluation of its inhibition of α-glucosidase activity in in vitro culture medium and gastrointestinal fluid tolerance, its stability and hypoglycemic ability in the gastrointestinal environment were ensured.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus MFHZ40 exhibits strong surface hydrophobicity, self-polymerization ability, and high adhesion properties. It also demonstrates good tolerance to gastrointestinal fluids and a significant hypoglycemic effect, with a survival rate of 97.96%–98.31% in simulated gastrointestinal fluids.

Therefore, reducing the serum blood sugar level is directly related to the health of the human body. So far, a large number of experiments have confirmed that taking some lactobacillus and its related products has the effect of reducing the serum blood sugar content of the human body and reducing the complications caused by diabetes. Lactobacillus is the main probiotic in the human intestinal tract, and as a safe and effective blood sugar-lowering microbial preparation, it has shown potential efficacy in relieving high blood sugar in diabetes. However, at present, there are still few reports on the relief of high blood sugar by lactobacillus, and the screening method lacks integrity and systematicness.

The absorbance OD 600 of the bacterial cell suspension was adjusted. 3mL of the bacterial cell suspension was taken, 1mL of dimethylbenzene was added, and after vortexing, it was left to stand at room temperature for 30min. The water phase was carefully aspirated and its absorbance at 600nm was measured.
[0035] The above results show that the surface hydrophobicity of Lactiplantibacillus rhamnosus MFHZ40 is 90.95% ± 0.23%. Figure 2 A, the surface hydrophobicity of Lactiplantibacillus rhamnosus MFHZ40 is 90.95% ± 0.23%.
[0036] (2) Evaluation of self-aggregation ability of Lactiplantibacillus rhamnosus MFHZ40
[0037] The test strain was inoculated into MRS liquid medium at an inoculation amount of 2% (v / v) and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. The bacterial cell precipitate was collected by centrifugation. The bacterial cells were washed with sterile PBS solution and then resuspended in sterilized PBS. The absorbance OD of the bacterial cell suspension was adjusted to 0.1 at 600 nm. 600 2 mL of the bacterial cell suspension was taken, vortexed, and then incubated at 37°C for 2 h. The supernatant was carefully taken and the absorbance at 600 nm was measured.

[0040] The concentration of the digested Caco-2 cells was adjusted to 10 5 cell / mL, 1 mL was taken and inoculated into a 6-well plate, and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. The culture medium was replaced once every other day (on the day before the experiment, DMEM medium without double antibodies was added to the well plate). After the cells were completely attached and grew into a monolayer, the culture medium was removed and the cells were washed twice with sterile PBS to remove excess cells that were not attached to the bottom of the plate. Then, 1 mL of the bacterial cell suspension was added to the washed Caco-2 cells (an equal amount of DMEM was used as a control), and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 2 h for cell adhesion. After adhesion, each well was washed with sterile PBS to remove unbound lactic acid bacteria and metabolic secretions. Methanol was used for fixation, and after natural air drying, Gram staining was performed. Under an oil immersion lens, a random field of view was selected, and the number of lactic acid bacteria adhered to each 10 Caco-2 cells was observed and counted.
