LAB strains modulate TJ protein (Occludin) in HCT116 cells. Cells were stimulated as follows: control, PolyI:C alone, LABs alone (48 h), LABs+PolyI:C (2 h, Poly:C combined treatment), LABs+PolyI:C (2 h, PolyI:C post-treatment separately), and or LABs+PolyI:C (48 h both combined). The level of TJ protein (ZO-1) was analyzed by western blot. The loading control beta-actin was reused for illustrative purposes. The bar graphs represent the results of three independent experiments. The mean differences among the different superscript letters (a, b, ab, c, bc) were significant at 0.05 level. LABs alone or co-treated with PolyI:C increased the level of occludin in HCT116 cells.
