Genes regulated by P. gingivalis and associated with the categories of Skeletal/Muscle disorders and inflammatory response.

The genes regulated more than 2-fold by P. gingivalis were categorized according to ascribed roles in a) skeletal and muscle development and function, b) skeletal and muscle disorders, and c) inflammatory responses (horizontal categories). Within each of these thee categories, genes were sub-categorized according to ascribed cellular function (vertical categories). The fold-changes in expression (compared to control) at 6 h and 24 h are provided. The minus values (also in bold letters) indicate down-regulation. When a –fold change value is missing in one of the two time-points, the regulation of gene expression at that time-point was less that 2-fold.
