Production of TFF3 via colonic cells by probiotics. LS174T colonic epithelial cells were grown and challenged with Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis UABla-12, Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, Lactobacillus plantarum UALp-05, or Streptococcus thermophilus UASt-09. The expression change in the TFF3 gene after probiotic treatment (n = 3) was computed by real-time qPCR. Data is presented as mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01.
