  • Polydopamine-coated Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG@PDA) improves probiotic viability and resistance in the gut.
  • LGG@PDA treatment in lupus mice restores gut homeostasis, enhances macrophage efferocytosis, and reduces autoantibodies.
  • L-methionine, a metabolite enriched by LGG@PDA, enhances macrophage efferocytosis via CX3CR1, aiding immune tolerance.
  • The study highlights LGG@PDA as a bioengineered probiotic platform for microbiota modulation and immune regulation in SLE.
  • Findings suggest L-methionine as a key metabolic mediator and a potential therapeutic target for SLE.
