However, interactions between commensal bacteria and colonic epithelial cells have not been fully investigated. We therefore assessed the ability of various commensal bacteria and probiotics to adhere to and invade colonic epithelial cells. Effects of the bacteria on production of proinflammatory cytokines were also measured. Commensal bacteria, including mucosal organisms isolated from ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, such as\n                    <jats:italic>Fusobacterium varium<\/jats:italic>\n                    , reported as a possible pathogen in UC,\n                    <jats:italic>Bacteroides vulgatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Clostridium clostridioforme<\/jats:italic>\n                    , as well as their type strains and probiotics, were assessed for their ability to adhere to and invade colonic epithelial cells using two cell lines, SW-480 and HT-29. Our experiments employed co-incubation, a combination of scanning and transmission electron microscopy and recovery of bacteria from infected-cell lysates.\n                    <jats:italic>F. varium<\/jats:italic>\n                    and several other commensal bacteria, but not probiotics, adhered to colonic epithelial cells and invaded their cytoplasm. ELISA and real-time PCR revealed that the host cells, particularly those invaded by\n                    <jats:italic>F. varium<\/jats:italic>\n                    , showed significant increases in IL-8 and TNF-\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\n                    concentrations in supernatants, with elevation of IL-8, TNF-\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\n                    , MCP-1 and IL-6 mRNAs. Furthermore, IL-8 and TNF-\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\n                    expression and nuclear phosphorylated NF-\n                    <jats:italic>\u03ba<\/jats:italic>\n                    B p65 expression could be immunohistochemically confirmed in inflamed epithelium with cryptitis or crypt abscess in UC patients.
