A secondary metabolite of Limosilactobacillus reuteri R2lc drives strain-specific pathology in a spontaneous mouse model of multiple sclerosis by Dale Archer, María Elisa Pérez-Muñoz, Stephanie Tollenaar, Simona Veniamin, Naomi Hotte, Christopher C. Cheng, Kristoff Nieves, Jee-Hwan Oh, Lilian Morceli, Susan Muncner, Daniel R. Barreda, Gurumoorthy Krishnamoorthy, Christopher Power, Jan-Peter van Pijkeren, Jens Walter

“…Differences in pathology occurred in parallel with a pks-dependent downregulation of AhR-related genes, reduced occludin expression in the forebrain, and altered concentrations of immune cells. This work establishes a molecular foundation for strain-specific effects on autoimmunity, which has implications for our understanding of how microbes contribute to chronic conditions and the selection of microbial therapeutics.…”
