(A) hMDMs were infected with L. pneumophila strain Paris (Lpp) wild-type (WT), a type 4 secretion system (T4SS)-deficient ΔdotA mutant, or left uninfected (noninfected). At 6 hr post-infection …
(A) Bioenergetic profiles of the key parameters of mitochondrial respiration during a mitochondrial respiratory control assay using the Seahorse XF Mitostress kit. Sequential compound injections …
(A) In the ‘forward mode’ of the mitochondrial ATPase, the Δψm generated by the electron transport chain is used by the FOF1-ATPase to synthesize ATP. The ‘reverse mode’ of the FOF1-ATPase leads to …
(A) hMDMs were infected with L. pneumophila strain Paris WT (Lpp-WT), a type 4 secretion system (T4SS)-deficient ΔdotA mutant, a LpSpl-deficient Δspl mutant, or left uninfected (noninfected). At 6 …
(A) hMDMs were infected with GFP-expressing bacteria (green), Lpp-WT or Lpp-ΔdotA, or left uninfected (noninfected). At 5.5 hr post-infection (hpi), cells were labeled with Hoechst to identify cell …
(A) hMDMs were infected with Lpp-WT-GFP and were nontreated or treated with 50 μM BTB. The presence of GFP-expressing bacteria in each cell was monitored, and the number of living infected cells in …
(A) Noninfected hMDMs were stained with Hoechst to identify their nuclei and challenged with FCCP (10 μM) for 18 hr, while Annexin-V Alexa Fluor 647 was added to the cell culture to monitor cell …
(A) hMDMs were infected with Lpp-WT-GFP (green), nuclei of host cells were stained with Hoechst (Nuc, blue), and tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester (TMRM) (red) and Annexin-V Alexa Fluor 647 (yellow) …
