doi: 10.1128/IAI.70.3.1185-1192.2002

Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of class II HLA-DRα surface expression in IFN-γ-inducible cells by P. gingivalis membrane vesicles. HUVECs, 143B osteosarcoma cells, MRC-5 fibroblasts, and THP-1 monocytic cells were treated with vesicles (OMVs, 30 μg of protein/ml) alone or IFN-γ (250 U/ml) in the absence or presence of vesicles at 37°C for 3 days. Control cells received no treatment. Cells were stained with either phycoerythrin-conjugated mouse anti-HLA-DR MAb or irrelevant isotype-matched MAb. Stained cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Averages and standard deviations were calculated from three separate experiments.

Article Snippet: Other cell lines used, obtained from ATCC, included human embryonic lung fibroblasts (MRC-5; ATCC CCL 171), 143B human osteosarcoma cells (ATCC CRL 8304), and THP-1 monocytic cells (ATCC TIB 202).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Suppression of expression of NDUFAF5 and oxygen consumption. Expression of NDUFAF5 in 143B cells was suppressed three times with siRNA at 72 h intervals. Part A , effect on levels of transcripts for control and NDUFAF5-depleted cells (white and hatched histograms, respectively) 48 h after each suppression. The values are normalized to endogenous β-actin, and error bars show the standard deviation. Parts B and C , oxygen consumption rates ( OCR ) of negative control and NDUFAF5 siRNA-treated cells ( white and shaded histograms , respectively) 120 h ( B ) and 192 h ( C ) after the first transfection, respectively. OCR was normalized to cell number. Rates were measured after successive additions of 2-deoxyglucose, rotenone, duroquinol, and antimycin, or 2-deoxyglucose, oligomycin, carbonylcyanide p -(trifluoromethoxy)-phenylhydrazone (FCCP), and a combination of rotenone and antimycin A. The OCR for complex I represents the rate for 2-deoxyglucose-treated cells minus the rate for rotenone-treated cells, and those for complex III are the OCR values for duroquinol minus antimycin A. The E/L ratio (FCCP/oligomycin) is an index of the maximum oxygen consumption capacity of the electron transport system ( E ) relative to the magnitude of uncoupled respiration ( L ).
