Commensal bacteria enhance migration and adhesion of model IECs. (A) Migration distance of wounded Caco-2 monolayers treated with DMEM, LGGlo (1.5 × 107 cfu/mL), or LGGhi (5.0 × 107 cfu/mL) as calculated from morphometric analysis of static images shown in Fig. S6A. Data represent means ± SE of two independent experiments with n = 2. (B) Migration distance of Caco-2 cells pretreated with DMEM for 30 min and then incubated with DMEM or LGG (5.0 × 107 cfu/mL) for 60 min, or Caco-2 cells pretreated with 100 μM FAK-14, or 20 mM NAC for 30 min and then incubated with LGG (5.0 × 107 cfu/mL) for 60 min. Data represent means ± SE with n = 3. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
