Effect of Lactobacillus jensenii TL2937 on porcine intestinal epithelial (PIE) cells co-cultured with adherent population from swine Peyer’s Patches (PPs). Antigen-presenting cells (macrophages and dendritic cells) from PPs were obtained after their adherence to glass. PIE-Adherent cells co-cultures were treated with L. jensenii TL2937 or L. plantarum TL2966 for 48 h. Untreated PIE-adherent cells co-cultures were used as controls. (A) Expression of IL-1β, IL-8, IL-6, MCP-I, and TGF-β mRNAs was examined in PIE cells using RT-qPCR. (B) Expression of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ, and TGF-β mRNAs was examined in adherent cells using RT-qPCR. Values for bars with different letters were significantly different (P < 0.05). Values for bars with shared letters do not differ significantly. The results represent data from three independent experiments using ileal PPs from at least three different swine.
