Activation of Nrf2 by oral streptococci inhibited the NFĸB signalling pathway. Raw 264.7 cells were pre-treated with 10 µM ML385 for 24 h prior to infection with oral streptococci. (a) Raw 264.7 cells stably transfected with the ARE SEAP reporter were infected with S. mitis or S. oralis. The expression of (b) HO-1 was determined by qRT-PCR. (c) Raw 264.7 cells stably transfected with the NFĸB SEAP were infected with bacteria. The expression of (d) TNF-α and (e) IL-1β were determined by qRT-PCR. ***p < 0.001.
