Treponema denticola induces actin rearrangement and detachment of human gingival fibroblasts.
Spirochetes are associated with destructive periodontal diseases, and one cultivatable oral species, Treponema denticola, binds to mammalian cells and perturbs metabolism. To evaluate the cytoskeletal responses and attachment functions of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) exposed to T. denticola, monolayers of HGF were incubated with T. denticola strains ATCC 35405, e, and e' in serum-free mediu...
متن کاملCytokine responses to treponema pectinovorum and treponema denticola in human gingival fibroblasts.
Human gingival fibroblasts were challenged with Treponema pectinovorum and Treponema denticola to test three specific hypotheses: (i) these treponemes induce different cytokine profiles from the fibroblasts, (ii) differences in cytokine profiles are observed after challenge with live versus killed treponemes, and (iii) differences in cytokine profiles are noted from different gingival fibroblas...
متن کاملFilamentous actin disruption and diminished inositol phosphate response in gingival fibroblasts caused by Treponema denticola.
Previous reports have shown that Treponema denticola causes rearrangement of filamentous actin (F-actin) in human gingival fibroblasts (HGF). The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of T. denticola on the generation of inositol phosphates (IPs) in relation to a time course for F-actin disruption in HGF. Cultured HGF were exposed to washed cells of T. denticola ATCC 35405 f...
متن کاملTreponema denticola outer membrane inhibits calcium flux in gingival fibroblasts.
Treponema denticola is a cultivable oral spirochete which perturbs the cytoskeleton in cultured cells of oral origin, but intracellular signalling pathways by which it affects actin assembly are largely unknown. As the outer membrane (OM) of Treponema denticola disrupts actin-dependent processes that normally require precise control of intracellular calcium, we studied the effects of an OM extr...
متن کاملTreponema denticola outer membrane enhances the phagocytosis of collagen-coated beads by gingival fibroblasts.
Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) degrade collagen fibrils in physiological processes by phagocytosis. Since Treponema denticola outer membrane (OM) extract perturbs actin filaments, important structures in phagocytosis, we determined whether the OM affects collagen phagocytosis in vitro by HGFs. Phagocytosis was measured by flow cytometric assessment of internalized collagen-coated fluorescent...
