Figure 2

(a) Synthesis of COX2 in lysates of PDL cells treated with F. nucleatum ATCC 25586 and/or cyclic tensile strain (CTS) of low (CTSL, 3%) and high (CTSH, 20%) magnitudes at 36 hours. (b and c) Production of PGE2 in supernatants of PDL cells treated with F. nucleatum ATCC 25586 and/or CTSL and CTSH at 1 day (b) and 3 days (c). Significant difference compared to other groups ( ).
