F. prausnitzii supernatant exerts antiinflammatory effects on Caco-2 cells. (A) Modulation of IL-1β-induced IL-8 secretion by Caco-2 cells in contact with F. prausnitzii, its component, or its supernatant. Cells were stimulated or not with IL-1β at 15 ng/ml. IL-8 secretion is expressed as picograms per micgrogram of proteins. The values are expressed as the mean ± SEM in pg/μg of proteins. (B) Effects of F. prausnitzii on Caco2 cells stably transfected with an NF-κB SEAP reporter gene with or without stimulation with IL-1β. SEAP activity is expressed as optical density (OD). Different asterisks (*) indicate significant differences (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.003; ****, P < 0.001).
