Danger Signal Adenosine via Adenosine 2a Receptor Stimulates Growth of P. gingivalis in Primary Gingival Epithelial Cells

This study reveals that the GECs express functional A2a receptor and P. gingivalis may utilize the A2a receptor coupled DS Adenosine signaling as a means to establish successful persistence in the oral mucosa, possibly via down‐regulation of pro‐inflammatory response.
