Figure 8. Suggested apoptotic signaling pathway in SiHa cells induced by T. vaginalis metalloproteinases.

Figure 8

T. vaginalis has a number of soluble factors that contribute to pathogenesis. T. vaginalis metalloproteinases disrupt the Bcl-xL/Bim and Mcl-1/Bim complexes and then induce apoptosis.
