Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) phosphorylates ezrin via protein kinase C (PKC)ι. Caco-2bbe cells were treated with LA in the presence or absence of PKCι inhibitor. A: representative Western blots of ezrin phosphorylation are shown. Data (means ± SE) are combined from three independent experiments using cells of different passages. B: NHE3 activity was determined in cells treated with LA conditioned media (LCM; L) or LCM + HY-126146 (HY). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001; ns, not significant.
