Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Relative optical density and representative Western blot of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) detected in Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CCM7091 membrane vesicles (MVs) isolated after 6, 12, 48 h (MV6, MV12, MV48). PBS was used as a negative control. Bars represent means ± SD; statistical significance was assessed at * p < 0.05; ordinary one‐way ANOVA was followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison test versus negative control; n = 3. (b), (c) Human cell receptors involved in the recognition of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CCM7091 membrane vesicles (MVs). Effects of MVs isolated after 6, 12, 48 h (MV6, MV12, MV48) on activation of TLR2/CD14 (a) and TLR6/2 (b) expressed on human embryonic kidney cells HEK‐293 (concentration 10 5 MVs/cell). The recognition abilities are compared to the negative control (PBS), and appropriate positive controls are depicted (HKLM for HEK293 TLR2/CD14, FSL‐1 for HEK293 TLR6/2). Results were evaluated based on IL‐8 production activity in cell media. The box plots show medians (lines), inter‐quartile ranges (boxes) and minimum and maximum values (whiskers); data normalization was performed using Z ‐score; statistical analysis was performed using the ANOVA and the significance was assessed at * p < 0.05; n = 4.
Article Snippet: For statistical analysis, ANOVA followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison test in GraphPad Prism 6 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, California, USA) was used; three independent experiments were performed.
