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
