Fig. 5. Effect of heat-killed LAB strains on the MAPK pathway activation in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells.
(A) analysis of MAPK pathway, (B) p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2, (C) p-JNK/JNK, (D) p-p38/p38. NC, negative control without LPS; PC, positive control with LPS; LGG, L. rhamnosus GG; 14917, L. plantarum ATCC 14917; 15122, L. plantarum KU15122. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation of triplicate experiments. Different letters on error bars represent significant differences (p < 0.05).
