Stimulation of epithelial cell matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2,-9,-13) and interleukin-8 secretion by fusobacteria
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2008)
Background/aim: Bacterial pathogens involved in periodontal diseases exert their destructive effects primarily by stimulating the host cells to increase their secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases ...
Intracellular replication of fusobacteria requires new actin filament formation of epithelial cells
(WILEY, 2008)
We examined survival and replication of fusobacteria inside epithelial cells. Subconfluent cultures of HaCaT keratinocytes were infected with five bacterial strains representing three Fusobacterium species: F. nucleatum, ...
