However, the cytoprotective effects of the catalase-activated L. plantarum strain have yet to be exploited against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, a catalase-activated L. plantarum CGMCC 6888 (CatA+) was obtained using exogenous added heme. The scavenging free radical abilities of this strain were obviously increased. Moreover, the activated catalase A in L. plantarum CGMCC 6888 endowed the intestinal epithelium NCM460 with lower ROS content after degrading H2O2. In addition, the transcription levels of Nrf2 and Nrf2-related antioxidant enzyme genes (HO-1, GCLC, NQO-1 and TXNRD1) and tight junction protein genes (ZO-1, OCLN, and JAM-1) were upregulated significantly when co-incubated with CGMCC 6888/CatA+. This work confirmed that the catalase A conferred L. plantarum with the strong protection effects in the intestinal epithelial cells against ROS.
