Figure 5.
As measured by ELISA, the thromboxane A2 and prostaglandin I2 levels in HCAECs were measured at 24 h post stimulation with P. gingivalis W83 in the 2D and 3D cell cultures. (a,b) Thromboxane A2 secretion; (c,d) prostaglandin I2 secretion. Control: control without stimulus. MOI 100: a multiplicity of infection for P. gingivalis/HCAECs of 100:1. MOI 1: a multiplicity of infection for P. gingivalis/HCAECs of 1:1. The data are represented by the median of each group of three independent experiments conducted in duplicate.
