B. clausii counteracts the Rotavirus effects on human enterocytes proliferation and viability. (A) Rotavirus (RV) (10 pfu/cell) reduced human enterocytes proliferation rate. B. clausii probiotic strains (3 × 108 cells/mL) and B. clausii supernatant (Sup, dilution 1:100) were able to inhibit the RV effect. (B) Cell cycle analysis confirmed the reduction in proliferation and a block in G0/G1 phases induced by RV. Again, the effect was inhibited by the incubation with B. clausii probiotic strains (3 × 108 cells/mL) and B. clausii supernatant (dilution 1:100). (C) Apoptosis analysis showed that the exposure to RV resulted in pro-apototic effect on human enterocytes. Again, both B. clausii and its supernatant were able to inhibit this effect. *p < 0.05 vs NT, #p < 0.05 vs RV.
