| Research Abstract |
P. gingivalis activates ERK1/2-Ets1 and the cellular DNA damage signaling pathways that act through an ATR/Chk2/p53-dependent pathway to cause G1 arrest and apoptosis in human trophoblast cells. Furthermore, P. gingivalis gingipain proteases degrade MDM2, which is the p53 degradation-related protein, thus contributing to p53 accumulation, G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
