From: Campylobacter jejuni induces transcellular translocation of commensal bacteria via lipid rafts
Plasma membrane cholesterol affects C. jejuni -induced E. coli internalization and translocation. Cholesterol depletion prevents C. jejuni 81–176-induced (A) internalization, and (B) translocation of E. coli HB101 in confluent T84 monolayers, 4 h post-infection. (n = 3). Increased plasma membrane cholesterol promotes C. jejuni 81–176-induced internalization (C) of E. coli, but does not affect E. coli translocation (D), 4 h post-infection. (n = 4). Data are means ± SEM, *P < 0.05 compared to untreated non-infected monolayers. †P < 0.05 compared to untreated C. jejuni-infected monolayers.
