Abstract

The early responses of oral epithelial cells to the adhesion of the oral spirochaete Treponema denticola were studied as a model of microbial perturbation of the plasma membrane. KB cell (ATCC CCL 17) monolayers were incubated with T. denticola (ATCC 35405) in alpha-MEM (minimal essential medium) for periods of 1-4 h at 37 degrees C without serum. Control cultures were exposed to bacteria-conditioned alpha-MEM without serum or bacteria or to alpha-MEM alone. At the end of each incubation, detached and attached epithelial cells were harvested and analysed separately. Compared with controls, T. denticola induced in 25% of cells a two-fold, time-dependent increase of detachment by 4 h. Detached cells in both T. denticola-exposed and control cultures exhibited 25% reductions in modal diameter, did not exclude propidium iodide, did not readhere, and did not form colonies. In T. denticola-exposed cultures, a larger subset (75%) of cells remained attached to the substratum, demonstrated no significant reduction of colony-forming efficiency and excluded propidium iodide. However, these cells exhibited a 21% reduction in diameter (p < 0.05), a 60% decrease of F-actin (p < 0.001), and a 74% reduction in the proportion expressing desmopla...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
