Effect of P. acidilactici and its CFS on cytokine expression in MDA-MB 231 cells. MDA-MB 231 cells were untreated or treated with live P. acidilactici (106 CFU/mL) or CFS. (a) IL-6, (b) IL-8, and (c) IL-10 mRNA levels were analyzed by RT-qPCR. Data are presented as of three independent experiments performed in triplicates. , , , and vs. untreated. LB: live bacteria; CFS: cell-free supernatant; ns: not significant.
