Lactobacillus rhamnosus on NF-κB and cytokine storm. The NF-κB (A) and the cytokines TNF-α (B), IL-1β (C), IL-6 (D), IL-8 (E), IL-33 (F), GM-CSEF (G), MCP1 (H), and TSLP (I) were detected in 16HBE cells treated with Lr (1 × 106 CFU) for 2 h, and then exposed to CSE (2.5%) associated to SARS-CoV-2 (MOI 0.1) during 20 h. The NF-κB and cytokines were measured using ELISA kits, according to “Material and Methods.” Data are presented as means ± SE from triplicate samples for each treatment versus control. ns, non-significant difference
