VSP inhibited the adhesion of UPEC CFT073. (A), A scheme of the E. coli infection and VSP administration. (B-G), The relative transcript levels of UPEC CFT073 adhesion fibronectin FimA, FimB, FimE, FimH, CsgA, and PapG after VPS intervention, were assessed by RT-PCR with 16S RNA as the internal control. (H-J), The relative transcript levels of TLR4, TLR5 and MyD88 in 5637 (HTB-9) cells after the VPS intervention, were assessed by RT-PCR with β-actin as the internal control. n=4, compared with the control group: ^## p < 0.01. Compared with the model group: ^* p < 0.05, ^** p < 0.01, the results were determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test. ^### p < 0.001, ***p < 0.001.
