Secreted levels of hBD-2 by ELISA show that the role of T2R38 in cytokine secretion is bacteria-specific and genotype-dependent. GECs transfected with control non-silencing (NS) siRNA and subsequently stimulated with different bacteria and unstimulated GECs served as controls. Each experiment was performed three times, in duplicate. The data are presented as mean+SD. Each asterisk denotes significant difference compared with NS siRNA plus bacteria controls (p<0.05). (T2RSi: T2R38-specific siRNA; Pg: P. gingivalis; Fn: F. nucleatum.)
