Water distribution in dentin matrices: bound vs. unbound water. Dent Mater 2015; 31:205-16. [PMID: 25612786 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2014.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2014] [Revised: 12/08/2014] [Accepted: 12/09/2014] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This work measured the amount of bound versus unbound water in completely-demineralized dentin. METHODS Dentin beams prepared from extracted human teeth were completely demineralized, rinsed and dried to constant mass. They were rehydrated in 41% relative humidity (RH), while gravimetrically measuring their mass increase until the first plateau was reached at 0.064 (vacuum) or 0.116 gH2O/g dry mass (Drierite). The specimens were then exposed to 60% RH until attaining the second plateau at 0.220 (vacuum) or 0.191 gH2O/g dry mass (Drierite), and subsequently exposed to 99% RH until attaining the third plateau at 0.493 (vacuum) or 0.401 gH2O/g dry mass (Drierite). RESULTS Exposure of the first layer of bound water to 0% RH for 5 min produced a -0.3% loss of bound water; in the second layer of bound water it caused a -3.3% loss of bound water; in the third layer it caused a -6% loss of bound water. Immersion in 100% ethanol or acetone for 5 min produced a 2.8 and 1.9% loss of bound water from the first layer, respectively; it caused a -4 and -7% loss of bound water in the second layer, respectively; and a -17 and -23% loss of bound water in the third layer. Bound water represented 21-25% of total dentin water. Chemical dehydration of water-saturated dentin with ethanol/acetone for 1 min only removed between 25 and 35% of unbound water, respectively. SIGNIFICANCE Attempts to remove bound water by evaporation were not very successful. Chemical dehydration with 100% acetone was more successful than 100% ethanol especially the third layer of bound water. Since unbound water represents between 75 and 79% of total matrix water, the more such water can be removed, the more resin can be infiltrated.

Abstract
Previously presented models of collagen-DNA (7) and collagen-siRNA (8) complexes point to a general description of delivery systems and indicate to what specific topology that system should be equipped with to effectively deliver the gene into the living body via in vivo and in vitro injection. We focused our interest on the nature of collagen-DNA complex structure and the molecular and environmental determinants of the self-association processes of collagen with the presence of DNA. In this aspect, the self-association of collagen-DNA complex offers an opportunity to characterize a unique system, which may be related to the general mechanisms of self-association of fiber macromolecules by water bridges. For characterizing the collagen-DNA interaction, we used FTIR-ATR, NMR, and AFM experiments done on a separate collagen film, DNA film, and on the peptide-DNA aqueous solution. We demonstrate that collagen-DNA spontaneously forms self-assembling complex systems in aqueous solution. Such self-association of the complex could be induced by electrostatic interactions between neutral collagen cylinders, having strong dipole moment, and negatively charged DNA cylinders. A final complex could be formed by hydrogen bonds between specified donor groups of collagen and phosphate acceptor groups of DNA. According to FTIR measurements, a collagen triple helix should not change global conformation during collagen-DNA complex formation.

Abstract
The effect of polyol osmolytes such as erythritol, xylitol and sorbitol on the protection of collagen against guanidine hydrochloride (GdmCl) was studied using circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy. Collagen was denatured by various concentrations of GdmCl in the presence of polyols. The absorbance was high for GdmCl treated collagen than native and polyols treated analogue. Fluorescence emission properties were studied at the excitation wavelength of 235 nm. The emission wavelength is red shifted from 308 to 370 nm for GdmCl treated collagen with polyols. Increasing the concentration of GdmCl did not affect the peak position. CD studies proved that the aggregation of collagen in the presence of lower concentrations of GdmCl. At higher concentrations of GdmCl due to the loss of secondary structure no clear CD spectra were observed. This shows that the unfolding of collagen is closely related to GdmCl concentrations. The ability of the polyols to protect collagen against guanidine denaturation decreased in order from erythritol to xylitol to sorbitol. The presence of OH group in the solvent structure is important for stabilization of collagen due to the formation of additional stabilizing hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
The denaturation of collagen solution in acetic acid has been investigated by using ultra-sensitive differential scanning calorimetry (US-DSC), circular dichroism (CD), and laser light scattering (LLS). US-DSC measurements reveal that the collagen exhibits a bimodal transition, i.e., there exists a shoulder transition before the major transition. Such a shoulder transition can recover from a cooling when the collagen is heated to a temperature below 35 degrees C. However, when the heating temperature is above 37 degrees C, both the shoulder and major transitions are irreversible. CD measurements demonstrate the content of triple helix slowly decreases with temperature at a temperature below 35 degrees C, but it drastically decreases at a higher temperature. Our experiments suggest that the shoulder transition and major transition arise from the defibrillation and denaturation of collagen, respectively. LLS measurements show the average hydrodynamic radius R(h), radius of gyration R(g)of the collagen gradually decrease before a sharp decrease at a higher temperature. Meanwhile, the ratio R(g)/R(h) gradually increases at a temperature below approximately 34 degrees C and drastically increases in the range 34-40 degrees C, further indicating the defibrillation of collagen before the denaturation.

Abstract
This review of tendon/collagen structure shows that the orientational variation in MRI signals from tendon, which is referred to as the "magic angle" (MA) effect, is caused by irreducible separation of charges on the main chain of the collagen molecule. These charges are held apart in a vacuum by stereotactic restriction of protein folding due in large part to a high concentration of hydroxyproline ring residues in the amino acids of mammalian collagen. The elevated protein electrostatic energy is reduced in water by the large dielectric constant of the highly polar solvent (kappa approximately 80). The water molecules serve as dielectric molecules that are bound by an energy that is nearly equivalent to the electrostatic energy between the neighboring positive and negative charge pairs in a vacuum. These highly immobilized water molecules and secondary molecules in the hydrogen-bonded water network are confined to the transverse plane of the tendon. Orientational restriction causes residual dipole coupling, which is directly responsible for the frequency and phase shifts observed in orientational MRI (OMRI) described by the MA effect. Reference to a wide range of biophysical measurements shows that native hydration is a monolayer on collagen h(m) = 1.6 g/g, which divides into two components consisting of primary hydration on polar surfaces h(pp) = 0.8 g/g and secondary hydration h(s) = 0.8 g/g bridging over hydrophobic surface regions. Primary hydration further divides into side-chain hydration h(psc) = 0.54 g/g and main-chain hydration h(pmc) = 0.263 g/g. The main-chain fraction consists of water that bridges between charges on the main chain and is responsible for almost all of the enthalpy of melting DeltaH = 70 J/g-dry mass. Main-chain water bridges consist of one extremely immobilized Ramachandran water bridge per tripeptide h(Ra) = 0.0658 g/g and one double water bridge per tripeptide h(dwb) = 0.1974 g/g, with three water molecules that are sufficiently slowed to act as the spin-lattice relaxation sink for the entire tendon.

Abstract
The molecular behavior of water in normal and regenerating tendons was analyzed using the transverse relaxation time (T(2)) measured by spin-echo proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H-NMR) spectroscopy at 2.34 T (25 degrees C). A section of the Achilles tendon was dissected from an anesthetized Japanese white rabbit, and its longitudinal axis was oriented at 0, 35, 54.7, 75, and 90 degrees to the static magnetic field. In the normal tendon, the T(2) relaxation of water presented biexponential relaxation and anisotropy in both the long T(2) (5.41 to 6.21 ms) and short T(2) (0.41 to 1.43 ms) components, in which the greatest values were obtained at 54.7 degrees. However, the range of the anisotropy was much narrower than we expected from the (1)H dipolar interaction of water bound to the collagen fibers in the tendon. The apparent fractions of water proton density also varied with orientation: the fraction of the longer T(2) components was at its maximum at 54.7 degrees. These results suggest that a simple two-compartment model could not be applicable to orientational dependency of the T(2) value of the tendon, and the well ordered water in the short T(2) relaxation component may show an elongated T(2) relaxation time that falls in the range of the long T(2) relaxation component at 54.7 degrees. This hypothesis can explain both the narrower range of the T(2) relaxation time and the orientational dependency on the apparent fraction of (1)H density. Regenerating processes of the Achilles tendon were followed for 18 weeks by analyzing the T(2) relaxation time. There is only a long T(2) relaxation time component (21.8 to 28.0 ms) up to 3 weeks after transection. Biexponential relaxation is revealed at 6 weeks and thereafter, whereby (i) the T(2) relaxation times become shorter, (ii) there is anisotropy in the short and long T(2) values, and (iii) the orientational dependency of the apparent fraction of water proton density becomes evident with maturation of the regenerating tendon. From these results, the (1)H T(2) relaxation time of water might be used to monitor the healing process of collagen structures of the tendon non-invasively.

Abstract
The dependence of the proton spin-lattice relaxation rate, and of the enthalpy and temperature of denaturation on water content, were studied by nmr and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in native and denatured collagen. Collagen was first heated at four different temperatures ranging from 40 to 70 degrees C. The percentage of denatured collagen induced by these preheating treatments was determined from DSC measurements. The DSC results are discussed in terms of heat-induced structural changes. A two-exponential behavior for the spin-lattice relaxation was observed with the appearance of denatured collagen. This was attributed to the presence of a noncollagen protein fraction. The variations in the different longitudinal relaxation rates as a function of the moisture content and of the denatured collagen percentage are described within the multiphase water proton exchange model. This study highlights the complementarity of the information obtained from the two analytical tools used.

Abstract
High-resolution solid-state 15N-NMR was used to clarify the effect of hydration on the stability of the coiled-coil triple-helix conformation of Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeating units in collagen and the collagen-like polypeptides, (Pro-Ala-Gly)n and (Pro-Pro-Gly)10, because the stability is thought to be related to the presence of (Gly)NH ... O = C(Xaa or Pro) hydrogen bonds. The 15N-NMR signals of these samples were narrowed upon hydration, mainly due to hydration-induced conformational change or rearrangement of the repeating units. In particular, the 15N chemical shifts of the Gly N-H group and the high-field (low-frequency) shoulder peak of Pro nitrogen signals in (Pro-Pro-Gly)10 were shifted downfield (4.9 ppm and 6.8 ppm, respectively) with increasing relative humidity, while the corresponding peaks for collagen and (Pro-Ala-Gly)n were unchanged and close to the 15N shift of (Pro-Pro-Gly)10 in the hydrated state. Such downfield shifts are consistent with the formation of N-H ... O = C hydrogen bonds. In agreement with the NMR results, it was found that the (Gly)NH ... O = C (Xaa or Pro) hydrogen bonds are retained in dehydrated collagen fibrils but not in partially dehydrated (Pro-Pro-Gly)10. No evidence was obtained for the partial formation of the 3(1) helix form (Pro)n or (Gly)n either under hydrated or dehydrated conditions. It is concluded that the Gly 15N chemical shift is a very sensitive probe for studying supercoiling in collagen and collagen-like polypeptides.

Abstract
Sepia cartilage collagen (pepsin-extracted) in acetate buffer (pH = 2.98) forms micelles at a particular concentration below which they do not normally form. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) of the collagen was determined in buffer as well as in SDS, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Tween-80 micellar environments at different temperatures. Mutual interaction of collagen micelles with the ionic and nonionic micelles through the formation of the mixed micelle concept has also been found. The cmc of collagen decreased in the presence of SDS and Tween-80 micelles whereas it increased in the presence of CTAB micelles. This clearly suggests that the micelle formation of collagen is facilitated by the presence of SDS and Tween-80 and hindered by CTAB micelles. The various thermodynamic parameters were estimated from viscosity measurements and the transfer of collagen into the micelles of various surfactants and the reverse phenomenon was analyzed. This analysis has also been modelled conceptually as a different phase and the results have supported the above phenomenon. Our thermodynamic results are also able to predict the exact denaturation temperature as well as the structural order of water in the collagen in various environments. The hydrated volumes, Vh, of collagen in the above environments and intrinsic viscosity were also calculated. The low intrinsic viscosity, [eta], of collagen in an SDS environment compared to buffer and other surfactant environments suggested more workable systems in cosmetic and dermatological skin care preparations. The one and two-hydrogen-bonded models of this collagen in various environments have been analyzed. The calculated thermodynamic parameters varied with the concentration of collagen. The change of thermodynamic parameters from coil-coil to random-coil conformation upon denaturation of collagen were calculated from the amount of proline and hydroxyproline residues and compared with viscometric results. Thermodynamic results suggest that the stability of the collagen in the additive environments is in the following order: SDS greater than Tween-80 greater than buffer greater than CTAB.
