Porphyromonas gingivalis leads to dysplasia of normal esophageal epithelial cells via Sonic hedgehog pathway. Porphyromonas gingivalis leads to dysplasia of normal esophageal epithelial cells via Sonic hedgehog pathway

Purpose: To investigate the pathogenic effect of P. gingivalis on normal esophagus and the mechanism behind Methods: Total mRNA was extracted to determine the transcriptional dysregulation of Het-1A cells after treated with P. gingivalis supernatant. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for Het-1A cells in P. gingivalis supernatant-free medium and P. gingivalis supernatant-present medium.
