Figure 1

P. gingivalis invades AoSMCs and changes the F-actin distribution. AoSMCs were cultured on glass coverslips in multiwall plates stimulated with (B and C) or without (A) FITC-stained P. gingivalis (green arrows) for 24 h and then stained for F-actin (red arrows) and nucleus (blue arrows). The cells were mounted upside-down and visualized by scanning confocal laser microscopy. The 3D images (D-G) are shown by different combination of stained components: F-actin and nucleus (D); F-actin and FITC-stained P. gingivalis (E); nucleus and FITC-stained P. gingivalis (F); F-actin, nucleus and FITC-stained P. gingivalis (G).
