Allergies are a world increasing health issue and most treatments are oriented to alleviate symptoms. Probiotics have several health benefits including the improvement of the immune system. In previous work we found that consumption of commercial probiotic fermented milk (PFM) significantly reduced specific-immunoglobulin (Ig) E in serum and lungs by increasing specific-IgG and controlled allergic response to ovalbumin (OVA) in an adult mouse respiratory allergy model. Here we continued our study determining the mechanism triggered in the gut by the PFM ingestion that influenced the results previously reported. Five groups of BALB/c mice were assessed: normal-control, basal (drinks PFM five days without OVA sensitisation), sensitisation-control (no PFM intake), previous and continuous-PFM administration. Allergen administration: 3 OVA injections (1% in PBS) followed by aerosols exposure for 7 days. We determined total secretory-IgA and cytokines in small intestine (SI) fluid; CD11b+, CD103+, IgA+ cells and cytokine producing cells in SI tissue. In lungs we analysed co-expression of CD4/interferon (IFN)-γ or CD4/interleukin (IL)-10, IgE+ cells and IL-12 production. Results: continuous intake of PFM increased the expression of CD103 marker and decreased CD11b and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Coexpression of CD4/IFN-γ was confirmed in lungs of animals that consumed PFM continuously. This group had a lower count of IgE+ cells and a higher concentration of IL-12. The consumption of PFM reinforces the mucosal barrier by increasing IgA+ cells and induces signalling from the intestine to the lungs by increasing the expression of CD103+ dendritic cells related to regulatory mechanisms. The results found in this work together with those previously reported demonstrated that the intake of PFM induces a clear balance towards the Th1 response, preventing the Th2 allergic response by controlling the previously reported IgE level. According to our model, the intake of PFM could be a good strategy to alleviate the development of allergies.
