| Research Abstract |
Porpnyromonas gingivalis, a periodontal pathogen, can enter host periodontal cells via endocytic pathway, which is involved in the disease progression. The present study was performed to elucidate the mechanism of the chronic situation of periodontal diseases in terms of the virulence of fimbrillin and of the bacterial intracellular localization. P.gingivalis was invaded by gingival epithelial cells and exited to extracelluolar milieu. This study suggests that the exit of P.gingivalis from gingival epithelial cells is mediated by Rabll, RalA, and exocyst complex. It also suggests that P.gingivalis can avoide the innate immune response, which can lead to the chronic situation of periodontal diseases.
