LPS from P. gingivalis Negatively Alters Gingival Cell Mitochondrial Bioenergetics

Figure 5

LPS increases mitochondrial fission in HGF-1 cells. Following LPS treatment (5 μg/mL for 48 h), cells were either harvested to determine DRP1 levels via western blot ((a), ) or visualized via confocal microscopy ((b); white arrows indicate sections of fusion; white arrowheads indicate fission; ). for CON versus LPS.
