Paxillin phosphorylation and integrin expression in osteoblasts infected by Porphyromonas gingivalis

Abstract

We investigated early biological events initiated by Porphyromonas gingivalis infection of human osteoblasts, focusing on tyrosine-phosphorylation and the expression of key components in focal adhesion and cell signalling. Human primary osteoblasts were challenged for 1h with Porphyromonas gingivalis. Tyrosine-phosphorylation of paxillin and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was examined by Western blotting. Changes in alpha3- and beta1-integrin mRNA expression were quantified by RT-PCR. Tyrosine-phosphorylation of paxillin was proportional to the size of the Porphyromonas gingivalis inoculum. FAK, a potential kinase for paxillin, was not activated. The amount of alpha3- and beta1-integrins, determined by Western blotting, did not vary significantly, while the corresponding mRNA levels fell significantly when a large bacterial inoculum was used. These results indicate that Porphyromonas gingivalis infection of osteoblasts in vitro triggers tyrosine-phosphorylation of paxillin but not FAK and modify alpha3- and beta1-integrin mRNA expression. This infection thus appears to have different effects on components with essential roles in focal adhesion (paxillin) and cell signalling (FAK and integrins).

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

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.
