From: Protective action of Bacillus clausii probiotic strains in an in vitro model of Rotavirus infection
B. clausii and its supernatant significantly counteract the Rotavirus-induced alteration in MUC-5, ZO-1 and Occludin expression in human enterocytes. Rotavirus (RV) (10 pfu/cell) significantly reduced the expression of MUC5AC (A), ZO-1 (B) and Occludin (C) in human enterocytes, whereas both B. clausii probiotic strains (3 × 108 cells/mL) and B. clausii supernatant (Sup, dilution 1:100) significantly increased the expression of these proteins in basal condition and blunted the RV effect. *p < 0.05 vs NT; #p < 0.05 vs RV.
