LAB-induced cytokine production in PMA-stimulated THP1 macrophages.
PMA-stimulated THP1 macrophages were treated with different bacteria (bacteria to cells ratios of 40:1) or 1 μg/ml LPS (positive control) for 24 h. Assays were performed in duplicate wells. Untreated THP1 macrophages served as negative control. IL-6 and IL-10 levels in the supernatant were measured by ELISA. The results shown represent mean and standard deviation (SD) of four independent experiments. ND, not detectable. Statistical significance between different treatment groups and untreated control group was measured using one-way ANOVA with application of the Bonferroni multiple comparisons test (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001).
