Human trophoblast responses to Porphyromonas gingivalis infection
5 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a periodontal pathogen that is also associated with preterm low-birthweight delivery. We investigated the transcriptional responses of human extravillous trophoblasts (HTR-8) to infection with P. gingivalis. Over 2000 genes were differentially regulated in HTR-8 cells by P. gingivalis. In ontology analyses of regulated genes, overpopulated biological pathways included mitogen-activated...
