PD-L1 expression is up-regulated by P. gingivalis peptidoglycan (PGN) but not LPS. (A) Western blot of PD-L1 expressed by DU145 cells after 24h stimulation P. gingivalis isolated PGN. (B) PD-L1 expression is up-regulated in DU145 cells after 24h stimulation P. gingivalis isolated PGN. (n>3) ( **= p < 0.01.), neg = non- stimulated cells, TM, total membrane, peptidoglycan = 10 μL isolated P. gingivalis peptidoglycan. (C) No up-regulated expression was detected after stimulation with P. gingivalis LPS or E. coli LPS. (n=3). Neg = non-stimulated cells, E. coli and P. gingivalis LPS stimulation in a dose-dependent manner. ** indicates corrected p < 0.01 compared to control.
