Induction of Distinct TLR2-Mediated Proinflammatory and Proadhesive Signaling Pathways in Response to <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> Fimbriae

The oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, as well as its purified fimbriae, are known to activate TLR2 and induce proinflammatory and proadhesive effects. The TLR2 proinflammatory pathway induces NF-kappaB-dependent inflammatory cytokines, whereas the TLR2 proadhesive pathway is characterized by i...
