Figure 1

B. clausii increases HBD-2 and LL-37 expression in human enterocytes. Cells were exposed to B. clausii probiotic strains mix at different concentrations; B. clausii supernatant (Sup, dilution 1:100) or E. coli K12 (1 × 106 cells/mL) as control. Only the exposure to B. clausii strains was able to elicit a significant increase in HBD-2 (A) and LL-37 (B) production by human enterocytes. HBD 2, human beta defensin 2; LL-37, cathelicidin; NT, untreated. *p < 0.05 vs NT; **p < 0.001 vs NT.
