AGGREGATIBACTER ACTINOMYCETEMCOMITANS LEUKOTOXIN ACTIVATES THE NLRP3 INFLAMMASOME AND CELL-TO-CELL COMMUNICATION

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Leukotoxin Activates the NLRP3 Inflammasome and Cell-to-Cell Communication

Carriers of highly leukotoxic genotypes of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans are at high risk for rapid degradation of tooth-supporting tissues.The leukotoxin (LtxA) expressed by this bacterium induces a rapid pro-inflammatory response in leukocytes that results in cell death.The aim of the present study was to increase the understanding of Ltx
