Effect of the interaction between TvAP33 and BNIP3 on the infection of VK2/E6E7 cells by Trichomonas vaginalis. a Analysis of the adherence rate of T. vaginalis on VK2/E6E7 cells, after the expression of TvAP33 and BNIP3 was knocked down in T. vaginalis and VK2/E6E7 cells, respectively. b Analysis of the proliferation of VK2/E6E7 cell by MTT assay, after the expression of TvAP33 and BNIP3 was knocked down in T. vaginalis and VK2/E6E7 cells, respectively. c Analysis of VK2/E6E7 cell viability, after the expression of TvAP33 and BNIP3 was knocked down in T. vaginalis and VK2/E6E7 cells, respectively. The results of adherence rate, cell proliferation index, and cell viability were presented as the mean ±  SD. p ≥0.05, p <0.05, p <0.01 and p <0.001 represent statistical significances and was labeled as “ns”, “*”, “**” and “***”, respectively.
