H1N1 infection affects cell viability, inflammatory cytokine secretion and interactions between HBEpiCs and THP-1 cells. (A) CCK-8 assay revealed that HBEpiC viability decreased in a concentration-dependent manner following H1N1 infection. (B) ELISA revealed that the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-8 in HBEpiCs decreased with increasing H1N1 infection. (C) CCK-8 assay indicated that supernatants from H1N1-infected HBEpiC cultures reduced the viability of THP-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. (D) ELISA results suggested that the levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-8) in THP-1 cells were decreased following exposure to supernatants from H1N1-infected HBEpiC cultures. (E) Cell adhesion assay revealed that the number of THP-1 cells adhering to HBEpiCs increased with increasing H1N1 concentration (scale bar, 10 μ m). Arrow indicates THP-1 cells that remain attached to the surface of HBEpiCs, highlighting the adhesion interaction between the two cell types. (F) Transwell assay suggested that H1N1 infection enhanced the migration capacity of THP-1 cells, with increased migration observed at higher virus concentrations (scale bar, 50 μ m). The data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation; ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001 vs. control.

TP modulates the inflammatory response and immune cell activity in H1N1-infected HBEpiCs and THP-1 cells. (A) No significant changes were observed in HBEpiCs treated with various concentrations of TP (5, 10 and 20 nM) following H1N1 infection compared with the control. (B) After TP treatment, the levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-8 in HBEpiCs were markedly lower than those in the untreated group. (C) The viability of THP-1 cells pretreated with H1N1-infected HBEpiC culture supernatant decreased after TP treatment. (D) The levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-8 in THP-1 cells were markedly lower after TP treatment.

( B ) Changes in STm counts in feces during the treatment period. ( C ) Quantification of STm per mg of feces on day 4 post-administration of various EcN formulations. ( D ) STm and ( E ) EcN counts in the cecum after different treatments. ( F ) Histological evaluation of colon damage with H&E staining (Scale bar: 100 μm) and ( G ) corresponding histopathology scores, respectively. ( H ) Neutrophil infiltration measured by colonic MPO activity. ( I - L ) Levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in colon tissues, including IL-6 ( I ), IL-1β ( J ), TNF-α ( K ), and IFN-γ ( L ), as determined by ELISA kits. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n = 5). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA. ns: no significance, ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗ P < 0.001.
