Gingival epithelial cell signalling and cytoskeletal responses to invasion Free

Abstract

, an oral pathogen, can internalize within primary gingival epithelial cells (GECs) through an invasion mechanism mediated by interactions between . fimbriae and integrins on the surface of the GECs. Fimbriae–integrin-based signalling events were studied by fluorescence microscopy, and the subcellular localization of integrin-associated signalling molecules paxillin and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), and the architecture of the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton were examined. GECs infected with . for 30 min demonstrated significant redistribution of paxillin and FAK from the cytosol to cell peripheries and assembly into focal adhesion complexes. In contrast, a fimbriae-deficient mutant of . did not contribute substantially to activation of paxillin or FAK. After 24 h, the majority of paxillin and FAK had returned to the cytoplasm with significant co-localization with . in the perinuclear region. Wild-type . induced nucleation of actin filaments forming microspike-like protrusions and long stable microfilaments distributed throughout the cells. Fimbriae mutants promoted a rich cortical actin meshwork accompanied by membrane ruffling dispersed along the cell membrane. Remarkable disassembly and nucleation of the actin and microtubule filamentous network was observed following 24 h infection with either wild-type or fimbriae-deficient mutants of . . The results show that fimbriated . cells induce formation of integrin-associated focal adhesions with subsequent remodelling of the actin and tubulin cytoskeleton.
