Bacterial SpxB mediated the activation of Nrf2-ARE. The amount of H2O2 produced by wild-type, ΔspxB mutants and ΔspxB complemented mutant (ΔspxB + pSpxB) of (a) S. mitis and (b) S. oralis were measured. Raw 264.7 cells stably expressing the Nrf2-ARE SEAP reporter were infected with wild-type, ΔspxB mutants or ΔspxB complemented mutants of (c) S. mitis or (d) S. oralis. Cellular ARE activity was quantified by SEAP reporter assay. The expression of (e) HO-1 was determined by qRT-PCR. ***p < 0.001 compared to the control group.
