L. salivarius-produced factors suppress IL-8 transcription in AGS cells. IL-8 gene expression was determined in H. pylori-induced AGS cells after incubation with medium control or LCM from L. salivarius. Gene expression was examined using qRT-PCR with primers specific to IL-8 and GAPDH transcripts. Quantitative gene expression data were normalized to housekeeping gene, GAPDH. The experiments were performed three times independently, each in triplicate. Fold change of IL-8 gene expression was calculated in relative to medium control, and results represent the mean ± SEM, ***p < 0.001 as compared to medium control
