Cellular responses after one hour exposure to L. plantarum. After continuous injection of L. plantarum WCFS1 for one hour into the proximal duodenum, proteins that participate in integrated signalling, metabolic and response pathways were modulated in intestinal mucosa. The left area shows genes encoding proteins involved in the regulation of cell death and survival, the central and right areas shows diverse signalling pathways and proteins that are involved in complement activation (immune response; may include genes expressed in immune cells). Note the involvement of nuclear proteins in modulation of cell death and survival.
