Figure Lengend Snippet: A . HT29 cells were co-cultured with Sgg strain TX20005 or media only for 6 hours. RNA was extracted and analyzed by RT-qPCR. CT values were first normalized to GAPDH then to cells cultured in media only and then converted to fold changes. B and C . HT29, HCT116 and A549 cells were co-cultured with Sgg TX20005, L . lactis , or media only for 12 hours. Cell lysates were subject to western blot with anti-ColVI antibody. Band intensity was quantified using Image J and normalized to GAPDH. Data presented is mean ± SEM from three independent experiments. D . HT29 and HCT116 were co-cultured with Sgg TX20005, TX20008, L . lactis , or media only for 12 hours. Cells were washed, fixed, incubated with anti-ColVI antibody and counterstained with DAPI. Representative images are shown. Scale bars represent 25μm. E . Colon sections from mice orally gavaged with Sgg TX20005, L . lactis or saline were stained with Trichrome stains. Collagen is stained blue. Statistical analysis in A and C was done using unpaired, two-tailed t test. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01.
