Abstract
Recently, the risk of viral infection has dramatically increased owing to changes in human ecology such as global warming and an increased geographical movement of people and goods. Howev-er, the efficacy of vaccines and remedies for infectious diseases is limited by the high mutation rates of viruses, especially, RNA viruses. Here, we comprehensively review the effectiveness of several probiot-ics and paraprobiotics (sterilized probiotics) for the prevention or treatment of virally-induced infectious diseases. We discuss the unique roles of these agents in modulating the cross-talk between commensal bacteria and the mucosal immune system. In addition, we provide an overview of the unique mechanism by which viruses are eliminated through the stimulation of type 1 interferon production by probiotics and paraprobiotics via the activation of dendritic cells. Although further detailed research is necessary in the future, probiotics and/or paraprobiotics are expected to be among the rational adjunctive options for the treatment of various viral diseases.

<abstract><p>Recently, the risk of viral infection has dramatically increased owing to changes in human ecology such as global warming and an increased geographical movement of people and goods. Howev-er, the efficacy of vaccines and remedies for infectious diseases is limited by the high mutation rates of viruses, especially, RNA viruses. Here, we comprehensively review the effectiveness of several probiot-ics and paraprobiotics (sterilized probiotics) for the prevention or treatment of virally-induced infectious diseases. We discuss the unique roles of these agents in modulating the cross-talk between commensal bacteria and the mucosal immune system. In addition, we provide an overview of the unique mechanism by which viruses are eliminated through the stimulation of type 1 interferon production by probiotics and paraprobiotics via the activation of dendritic cells. Although further detailed research is necessary in the future, probiotics and/or paraprobiotics are expected to be among the rational adjunctive options for the treatment of various viral diseases.</p>

<title>Inroduction</title>
<p>Various strategies, such as those using vaccines and antibiotics, have been exploited for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, but infection control has not yet been achieved at a sufficient level. In addition to avian influenza [<xref rid="r1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
], severe acute respiratory syndrome [<xref rid="r2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
], and Ebola hemorrhagic fever [<xref rid="r3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
], many problematic diseases of tropical origin remain poorly controlled, such as dengue fever and Zika virus infection [<xref rid="r4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
].</p>
<p>As climate change including global warming and the increased geographical movement of people and goods have emerged, the numbers of pathogenic virus species and affected areas have increased [<xref rid="r5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
]. Therefore, the risk of viral infection has now become a critical issue. A representative pathogenic virus, influenza virus, sometimes undergoes a process of discontinuous mutation. As a result, the efficacy of vaccines against influenza virus may become disrupted, and this phenomenon has sometimes caused pandemics [<xref rid="r6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
]. In Japan, the first case of Zika virus infection was reported in 2016 [<xref rid="r7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
]. Some cases infected with dengue virus were reported in 2014 after the virus had been absent for 70 years previously [<xref rid="r8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
]. In addition, influenza and Norovirus infections often occur seasonally.</p>
<p>With the progress of recent immunological research, the innate immune response and the subsequently activated acquired immune response for the recognition and elimination of viruses have been unveiled [<xref rid="r9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
]. It has been reported that the process of viral elimination largely depends on the induction of type 1 interferons (IFNs) [<xref rid="r10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
], and that the regulation of inflammatory cytokines is mediated via pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptors [<xref rid="r9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
, <xref rid="r11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
] and retinoic-acid-inducible gene I [<xref rid="r12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. Studies have begun to elucidate the immunostimulatory effects of lactic acid bacteria and have reported their capacity to contribute to the prevention of viral infections including influenza [<xref rid="r13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
] as well as the treatment of <italic>Helicobacter pylori</italic>
infection [<xref rid="r14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]. As discussed in the following sections, type 1 IFNs are considered to be pivotal in mediating the protective effect of lactic acid bacteria against these infections.</p>
<p>In this review, we first summarize the recent preventive and therapeutic strategies against infectious diseases with special emphasis on the viral infection and then outline the possible applications of several probiotics and paraprobiotics as prophylactics or therapies against (viral) infectious diseases on the basis of published clinical trial data. Since it is very difficult to cite all studies regarding the effects of paraprobiotics or probiotics on virus infectious disease, we showed representative studies below with two criteria; 1) Single probiotics or paraprobiotics study in human clinical trial (excluded mixture of strains and animal studies), 2) Evaluation of efficacy on (viral) infectious disease.</p>
<p>Finally, we introduce the unique topic of immune defense mechanisms against viral infections that are induced by probiotics and paraprobiotics.</p>

<title>Preventive and Therapeutic Strategies Against Viral infections</title>
<p>Infectious diseases, especially nosocomial infections (i.e. influenza, pneumonia, methicillin-resistant <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic>
, Norovirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus, <italic>etc</italic>
.), have periodically caused widespread outbreaks and are considered to represent serious threats to public health [<xref rid="r15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
, <xref rid="r16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
]. In this review, we outline strategies for the prevention and treatment of infections of the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts as representative infectious diseases. It is well known that influenza virus, rhinovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus play major roles in Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTIs), while norovirus and rotavirus are also important causes of gastrointestinal diseases.</p>
<p>It is generally acknowledged that the main prophylactic measures against these infectious diseases are vaccinations and everyday hygienic behaviors such as gargling and hand-washing. Nagatake <italic>et al</italic>
. outlined that gargling with a povidone-iodine solution was effective to reduce the incidence of episodes of acute respiratory infections, since colonized bacteria were destroyed by gargling [<xref rid="r17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. Heijne <italic>et al</italic>
. reported that enhanced hygienic measures including proper hand cleaning using soap and disposable paper towels effectively limited the transmission of norovirus during an outbreak [<xref rid="r18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
].</p>
<p>Although vaccines are promising prophylactics against influenza infection, their efficacy is limited by the frequent and fast mutation of RNA viruses including the influenza virus [<xref rid="r19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
]. Popular influenza treatment regimens include neuraminidase inhibitors and M2 ion channel protein inhibitors, which are both actively prescribed in clinical settings [<xref rid="r20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
]. Inhibitors of hemagglutinin, sialidase, nucleocapsid protein, or RNA-dependent RNA polymerase are also currently used [<xref rid="r19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
, <xref rid="r21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
]. However, the development of acquired resistance against current anti-influenza drugs and emerging mutations of the influenza virus continue to present major challenges for the effective treatment of influenza.</p>
<p>Norovirus and rotavirus are representative gastrointestinal pathogens that are highly infectious and cause severe diarrhea [<xref rid="r22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
]. In the present situation, without an effective vaccine or medicine, the prevention of viral transmission must rely mainly on basic measures including quarantine and thorough hand washing after physical contact. In particular, rotavirus is resistant to chlorine and alcohol, although infection can be prevented by wiping contaminated sites with a 79% ethanol solution containing 0.1% <italic>o</italic>
-phenylphenol [<xref rid="r23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
]. Vaccination against neonates is also being conducted and has shown a good efficacy [<xref rid="r24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
]. <italic>Norovirus</italic>
is also highly contagious and resistant to alcohol. For contaminated sites, it is recommended to wipe with bleach containing more than 500 ppm of chlorine [<xref rid="r23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
]. Vaccines for norovirus are currently under development. There are currently no effective treatments for either of these viral infections. Thus, the treatment that is generally recommended is to prevent the dehydration caused by diarrhea and vomiting by maintaining a sufficient fluid intake and wait for the virus to be eliminated from the gastrointestinal tract.</p>

<title>Prophylaxis and Medical Treatment of Infectious Diseases by Probiotics and Paraprobiotics</title>
<p>With the progress of research on the relationship between the microbiota and diseases in recent years, commensal intestinal bacteria have been investigated for their ability to modulate the host immune system, not only in healthy individuals but also in those who are suffering from a wide range of diseases [<xref rid="r25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>

It has been revealed that commensal bacteria also regulate regulatory T cells, type 3 innate lymphoid cells, and T helper 17 cells through the recognition of the bacteria themselves or their metabolites/products by the immune cells and greatly affect mucosal immunity [<xref rid="r25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>

JCM5805 resulted in a significant decrease in the cumulative number of days of incidence of “cough” and “feverishness”, which were defined as the major symptoms of an influenza-like illness, as compared with the control group.

<title>Role of pDCs and Type 1 IFNs in Viral Infection</title>
<p>As dendritic cells (DCs) are well known to be a pivotal immune cell subset that links the innate and acquired immune responses by recognizing pathogenic and endogenous inflammatory signals [<xref rid="r61" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>
]. Dendritic cells are subdivided into pDCs, myeloid DCs (mDCs), and CD8<sup>+</sup>
dendritic cells. Among them, pDCs are a rare and critical subset that acts as a “control tower” during viral infections [<xref rid="r62" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>
, <xref rid="r63" ref-type="bibr">63</xref>
].</p>
<p>To detect the presence of bacteria and viruses, pDCs utilize certain TLRs. Especially, they use TLR9 for the recognition of microbial nucleic acids via detecting unmethylated CpG motifs of DNA and TLR7 for the recognition of microbial RNA or synthetic guanosine analogs. The activation of pDCs by TLR ligand binding leads to the production of type 1 IFNs [<xref rid="r64" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>
]. The type 1 IFN family includes IFN-α and IFN-β, which serve as components of the first-line defense against infection by blocking viral replication [<xref rid="r65" ref-type="bibr">65</xref>
]. The induction of type 1 IFNs is mostly associated with viral infections and it is well known that pathogenic bacteria stimulate IFN-α production [<xref rid="r66" ref-type="bibr">66</xref>
]. However, nonpathogenic bacteria including probiotics used in food preparation have been less intensively studied regarding their ability to stimulate DC-mediated IFNs induction [<xref rid="r67" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>
]. As described separately in detail, we previously screened various lactic acid bacteria for their ability to stimulate IFN-α production by pDCs and found that <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 was the most potent stimulator of type 1 IFN production [<xref rid="r67" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>

<p>The stimulatory effects of <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 on type 1 IFNs production by pDCs and mDCs were evaluated using DCs derived from Flt-3L-stimulated murine bone marrow obtained from several types of TLR-knockout mice. As a result of this direct activation of DCs by <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805, the major type 1 and type 3 IFNs (i.e., IFN-α, -β, and -λ) were found to be induced efficiently. However, IFN-α production was completely abolished in dendritic cells obtained from TLR9 or MyD88 knockout mice. Thus, these data strongly suggested that <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 stimulated IFN-α production via TLR9/MyD88 signaling. Furthermore, we examined whether IFN-α production was induced by CpG DNA, which is a known TLR9 agonist, or DNA extracted from <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805. Both CpG DNA and the DNA extracted from L. lactis JCM 5805 strongly induced IFN production. In addition, <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 was observed to be specifically taken up by pDC, suggesting that its phagocytosis played an important role in activating pDCs and consequently inducing the production of IFNs [<xref rid="r67" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>

<p>IFN-α production by pDCs was synergistically elevated by <italic>L. lactis</italic>

JCM5805, the survival rate was significantly higher than that of the control group (69% survival in <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 and 0% survival in the control group on day 15 after inoculation). In the intestinal pDCs from the mice treated with <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805, type 1 IFN expression was significantly elevated, while a remarkable preventive effect against the infiltration of neutrophils into the lung tissue was observed. A significant increase in the expression of genes with antiviral activities including IFN-inducible mRNAs such as <italic>Isg15</italic>
, <italic>Oasl2</italic>
(2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase-like 2), and <italic>Rsad2</italic>
(radical S-adenosyl methionine domain containing 2) was observed upon treatment with <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805. Although lung is distantly located from the contact site (intestinal Peyer’s patches) and <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 cannot stimulate local pDCs in the lung directly, oral <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 treatment resulted in a strong resistance against parainfluenza virus infection <italic>in vivo</italic>
[<xref rid="r68" ref-type="bibr">68</xref>
].</p>
<p>As is well known, IFN-α plays an important role in the antiviral immune response by inducing the cytotoxic activity of NK cells, which contributes to the host defense against viral infections [<xref rid="r69" ref-type="bibr">69</xref>
, <xref rid="r70" ref-type="bibr">70</xref>
]. Indeed, Suzuki <italic>et al</italic>

JCM5805 activated NK cells both <italic>in vitro</italic>
and <italic>in vivo</italic>
[<xref rid="r71" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>
]. Furthermore, the effect of <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM5805 on NK cells was dependent upon the activity of dendritic cells [<xref rid="r71" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>
]. Among a number of activation factors for NK cells including IFN-α, IL-2, IL-15, and IL-18, IFN-α is regarded as one of the most efficient NK cell activation factors [<xref rid="r72" ref-type="bibr">72</xref>
]. In addition, it was reported that IFN-α production by virus-stimulated pDCs markedly increased the cytotoxic activity of NK cells [<xref rid="r73" ref-type="bibr">73</xref>
] (Fig. <bold><xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>
</bold>
).</p>
<p>Although we discussed the direct activation of pDCs by <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 as the most plausible mechanism for the inhibition of viral infection, other underlying mechanisms have not been ruled out. Indeed, Salminen <italic>et al</italic>
. reported that specific probiotic bacteria could bind and inactivate rotaviruses [<xref rid="r74" ref-type="bibr">74</xref>
]. Besides this direct interaction with viruses, it is also possible that <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 competes for viral receptors on the surface of target cells, produces antimicrobial and potentially antiviral substances, and stimulates host-cell immune defense systems. Thus, in the future, it is necessary to test whether <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 can also directly bind and inactivate viruses, since the resulting data could provide a basis for novel approaches to inactivate viruses and reduce the risk of mucosa-associated viral infections.</p>
<p>To detect the presence of bacteria and viruses, pDCs utilize certain Toll-like receptor (TLR) families. Especially, they use TLR9 for the recognition of microbial nucleic acids by detecting unmethylated CpG motifs of DNA and TLR7 for the recognition of microbial RNA or synthetic guanosine analogs. The activation of pDCs by ligand binding to TLRs leads to the production of type 1 IFNs. <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 was specifically taken up by pDCs and its DNA extracts strongly induced IFN production. These observations suggest that the phagocytosis of <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805 by pDCs plays an important role in activating pDCs and stimulating IFN production via TLR9/MyD88 signaling.</p>

<sec sec-type="conclusions"><title>Conclusion</title>
<p>We described the efficacy of probiotics and paraprobiotics for the prevention or treatment of infectious diseases, which have been increasing in incidence in recent years. Although the benefits of vaccines and antiviral drugs for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases are obvious, their effectiveness is hindered by the large number of viral species and their subtypes as well as the high mutation rate of viruses. Since viruses evolve constantly and produce a serologically diverse viral population, it is challenging to establish an effective means of protecting humans from viral infections. There have been several clinical reports regarding the use of probiotics or paraprobiotics for the prophylaxis or treatment of infectious diseases. Here, we reviewed the literature regarding several probiotic or paraprobiotic agents based on the papers which described single paraprobiotics / probiotics in clinical trial to avoid the crosstalk or mutual interference between probiotics. Such agents are considered to be safe, affordable and easy to consume because of their long history of use in foods.</p>
<p>The state of knowledge regarding the immunomodulatory effects of probiotics has recently advanced and various studies have especially focused on the interactions between commensal bacteria and the mucosal immune system. Furthermore, the role of type 1 IFNs in the elimination of pathogenic viruses, which involves the concerted activities of the innate and acquired immune systems, has been widely studied.</p>
<p>In this review, we discussed the anti-influenza activity of <italic>L. lactis</italic>
JCM 5805, which has the potency to directly stimulate pDCs via TLR9 and thereby promote viral control. Although further detailed research is necessary, probiotics and/or paraprobiotics are expected to be among the rational adjunctive options for the treatment and prophylaxis of viral infections.</p>
