Regulation of NF-kappa B and cell death by bacterial gingipains
2020-02-26
Abstract excerpt
The role of non-caspase proteases in the regulation of programmed cell death is relatively under-studied. In this short communication, we report that infection of human gingival fibroblast (HGF) cells ex vivo by Porphyromonas gingivalis rapidly activated NF-kappa B, an antiapoptotic player; PI3 kinase was also induced, and together, they inhibited apoptosis. Later, pro-apoptotic cellular genes, including caspase...
