Abstract
INTRODUCTION Statherin-derived peptide (StatpSpS) has shown promise against erosive tooth wear. To elucidate its interaction with the hydroxyapatite (HAP) surface, the mechanism related to adsorption of this peptide with HAP was investigated through nanosecond-long all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. METHODS StatpSpS was positioned parallel to the HAP surface in 2 orientations: 1 - neutral and negative residues facing the surface and 2 - positive residues facing the surface. A system containing StatpSpS without HAP was also simulated as control. In the case of systems with HAP, both partially restrained surface and unrestrained surface were constructed. Structural analysis, interaction pattern, and binding-free energy were calculated. RESULTS In the peptide system without the HAP, there were some conformational changes during the simulation. In the presence of the surface, only moderate changes were observed. Many residues exhibited short and stable distances to the surface, indicating strong interaction. Specially, the residues ASP1 and SER2 have an important role to anchor the peptide to the surface, with positively charged residues, mainly arginine, playing a major role in the further stabilization of the peptide in an extended conformation, with close contacts to the HAP surface. CONCLUSION The interaction between StatpSpS and HAP is strong, and the negative charged residues are important to the anchoring of the peptide in the surface, but after the initial placement the peptide rearranges itself to maximize the interactions between positive charged residues.

Abstract
Characterizing and identifying cells in multicellular in vitro models remain a substantial challenge. Here, we utilize hyperspectral confocal Raman microscopy and principal component analysis coupled with linear discriminant analysis to form a label-free, noninvasive approach for classifying bone cells and osteosarcoma cells. Through the development of a library of hyperspectral Raman images of the K7M2-wt osteosarcoma cell lines, 7F2 osteoblast cell lines, RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line, and osteoclasts induced from RAW 264.7 macrophages, we built a linear discriminant model capable of correctly identifying each of these cell types. The model was cross-validated using a k-fold cross validation scheme. The results show a minimum of 72% accuracy in predicting cell type. We also utilize the model to reconstruct the spectra of K7M2 and 7F2 to determine whether osteosarcoma cancer cells and normal osteoblasts have any prominent differences that can be captured by Raman. We find that the main differences between these two cell types are the prominence of the β-sheet protein secondary structure in K7M2 versus the α-helix protein secondary structure in 7F2. Additionally, differences in the CH2 deformation Raman feature highlight that the membrane lipid structure is different between these cells, which may affect the overall signaling and functional contrasts. Overall, we show that hyperspectral confocal Raman microscopy can serve as an effective tool for label-free, nondestructive cellular classification and that the spectral reconstructions can be used to gain deeper insight into the differences that drive different functional outcomes of different cells.

New insights into the protective effect of statherin-derived peptide for different acquired enamel pellicle formation times on the native human enamel surfaces. Arch Oral Biol 2023; 148:105643. [PMID: 36773559 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2023.105643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the protective impact of acquired enamel pellicle (AEP) engineering with statherin-derived peptide (StatpSpS), considering different AEP formation times. DESIGN A total of 120 native human enamel specimens were divided into 2 main groups: 1) No AEP engineering and 2) AEP engineering with StatpSpS (pretreatment for 1 min; 37 °C, under agitation). Each group was further divided into 4 subgroups: No pellicle, or 1, 60-and-120 min AEP formation times (human saliva; 37 °C). The specimens were then subjected to an erosive challenge (1% citric acid; pH 3.6; 1 min; 25 °C). This procedure was repeated for 5 cycles. Relative surface reflection intensity (%SRI) was measured and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the enamel surface was done. RESULTS All AEP engineering groups protected against initial dental erosion in comparison with No pellicle (p < 0.001), likewise all groups with AEP, independent of engineering or formation times (p 0.001). Furthermore, engineering with StatpSpS even without the presence of AEP protected the enamel when compared to the No engineering/No pellicle group (p < 0.0001). No difference was observed regarding the protection from the different AEP formation times (p > 0.05). Regarding the SEM analysis, in the "No AEP engineering & No AEP" group, a more severe effect of citric acid was observed, with more enamel prism heads and scratches on the surface when compared with the other groups. CONCLUSIONS AEP provides almost instant protection at formation times even as short as 1 min, protecting the native enamel against erosion. Treatment with StatpSpS by itself provides similar protection as the AEP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioadhesion and surface interactions on enamel are of essential relevance for initiation, progression and prevention of caries and erosions. Salivary proteins on and within initial carious and erosive lesions can facilitate or aggravate de- and remineralization. This applies for the pellicle layer, the subsurface pellicle and for proteins within initial carious lesions. Little is known about these proteinaceous structures related to initial caries and erosion. Accordingly, there is a considerable demand for an understanding of the underlying processes occurring at the interface between the tooth surface and the oral cavity in order to develop novel agents that limit and modulate caries and erosion. Objectives and findings: The present paper depicts the current knowledge of the processes occurring at the interface of the tooth surface and the oral fluids. Proteinaceous layers on dental hard tissues can prevent or aggravate demineralization processes, whereas proteins within initial erosive or carious lesions might hinder remineralization considerably and restrict the entry of ions into lesions. CONCLUSIONS Despite the fact that organic-inorganic surface interactions are of essential relevance for de- and remineralization processes at the tooth surface, there is limited knowledge on these clinically relevant phenomena. Accordingly, intensive research is necessary to develop new approaches in preventive dentistry.

Abstract
Zoledronic acid (ZOL) inhibits receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and reduces bone turnover. This plays an important role in the development of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Previous reports have shown that ZOL binds to the enzyme farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS) to block its activity. However, the mechanism of action of ZOL and its interaction with RANKL is still unclear. In this study, we confirmed that ZOL significantly suppressed the bone remodeling in ZOL-treated rats, investigated whether ZOL could bind to RANKL and examined the interactions between these molecules at the atomic level. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay was performed to validate that ZOL could directly bind to RANKL in a dose dependent manner, and the equilibrium constant was calculated (KD = 2.28 × 10−4 M). Then, we used molecular docking simulation to predict the binding site and analyze the binding characteristics of ZOL and RANKL. Through molecular dynamics simulation, we confirmed the stable binding between ZOL and RANKL and observed their dynamic interactions over time. Binding free energy calculations and its decomposition were conducted to obtain the binding free energy −70.67 ± 2.62 kJ/mol for the RANKL–ZOL complex. We identified the key residues of RANKL in the binding region, and these included Tyr217(A), Val277(A), Gly278(A), Val277(B), Gly278(B), and Tyr215(C). Taken together, our results demonstrated the direct interaction between ZOL and RANKL, indicating that the pharmacological action of ZOL might be closely related to RANKL. The design of novel small molecules targeting RANKL might reduce the occurrence of BRONJ.

Engineered Salivary Peptides Reduce Enamel Demineralization Provoked by Cariogenic S. mutans Biofilm. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10040742.

Abstract
Engineering of the acquired enamel pellicle using salivary peptides has been shown to be a promising anticaries strategy. However, the mechanisms by which these peptides protect teeth against tooth decay are not fully understood. In this study, we evaluated the effect of the engineered salivary peptides DR9-DR9 and DR9-RR14 on enamel demineralization in two experimental conditions: (1) adsorbed onto the enamel surface forming the AEP, and (2) forming the AEP combined with their use to treat the biofilms 2×/day, using a validated cariogenic Streptococcus mutans in vitro biofilm model. Biofilms were grown for 144 h on enamel slabs and then collected to determine the bacterial viability (CFU/biofilm) and biofilm mass (mg protein/biofilm), and to extract cellular/extracellular proteins, which were characterized by mass spectrometry. The culture medium was changed 2×/day to fresh medium, and pH (indicator of biofilm acidogenicity) and calcium concentration (indicator of demineralization) was determined in used medium. DR9-RR14 peptide significantly reduced enamel demineralization (p < 0.0001) in both experimental conditions. However, this peptide did not have a significant effect on biofilm biomass (p > 0.05) nor did it modulate the expression of cellular and extracellular bacterial proteins involved in biofilm cariogenicity. These findings suggest that DR9-RR14 may control caries development mainly by a physicochemical mechanism.

Abstract
Since the modification of the proteinaceous components of the Acquired Enamel Pellicle (AEP) could influence the adhesion of Streptococcus mutans, the most cariogenic bacteria, to dental surfaces, we assessed if engineered salivary peptides would affect the adherence and modulate the bacterial proteome upon adherence. Single-component AEPs were formed onto hydroxyapatite (HAp) discs by incubating them with statherin, histatin-3, DR9, DR9-DR9, DR9-RR14, RR14, and parotid saliva. Then, the discs were inoculated with S. mutans UA159 and the bacteria were allowed to adhere for 2 h, 4 h, and 8 h (n = 12/treatment/time point). The number of bacteria adhered to the HAp discs was determined at each time point and analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests. Cell-wall proteins were extracted from adhered, planktonic, and inoculum (baseline) bacteria and proteome profiles were obtained after a bottom-up proteomics approach. The number of adhered bacteria significantly increased over time, being the mean values obtained at 8 h, from highest to lowest, as follows: DR9-RR14 > statherin > RR14 = DR9-DR9 > DR9 = histatin3 > saliva (p < 0.05). Treatments modulated the bacterial proteome upon adherence. The findings suggested a potential use of our engineered peptide DR9-DR9 to control S. mutans biofilm development by reducing bacterial colonization.

Abstract
In modern dentistry, a minimally invasive management of early caries lesions or early-stage erosive tooth wear (ETW) with synthetic remineralization systems has become indispensable. In addition to fluoride, which is still the non-plus-ultra in these early caries/ETW treatments, a number of new developments are in the test phase or have already been commercialized. Some of these systems claim that they are comparable or even superior to fluoride in terms of their ability to remineralize enamel. Besides, their use can help avoid some of the risks associated with fluoride and support treatments of patients with a high risk of caries. Two individual non-fluoride systems can be distinguished; intrinsic and extrinsic remineralization approaches. Intrinsic (protein/peptide) systems adsorb to hydroxyapatite crystals/organics located within enamel prisms and accumulate endogenous calcium and phosphate ions from saliva, which ultimately leads to the re-growth of enamel crystals. Extrinsic remineralization systems function on the basis of the external (non-saliva) supply of calcium and phosphate to the crystals to be re-grown. This article, following an introduction into enamel (re)mineralization and fluoride-assisted remineralization, discusses the requirements for non-fluoride remineralization systems, particularly their mechanisms and challenges, and summarizes the findings that underpin the most promising advances in enamel remineralization therapy.

Abstract
Dental caries has been the most widespread chronic disease globally associated with significant health and financial burdens. Caries typically starts in the enamel, which is a unique tissue that cannot be healed or regrown; nonetheless, new preventive approaches have limitations and no effective care has developed yet. Since enamel is a non-renewable tissue, we believe that the intimate overlaying layer, the acquired enamel pellicle (AEP), plays a crucial lifetime protective role and could be employed to control bacterial adhesion and dental plaque succession. Based on our identified AEP whole proteome/peptidome, we investigated the bioinhibitory capacities of the native abundant proteins/peptides adsorbed in pellicle-mimicking conditions. Further, we designed novel hybrid constructs comprising antifouling and antimicrobial functional domains derived from statherin and histatin families, respectively, to attain synergistic preventive effects. Three novel constructs demonstrated significant multifaceted bio-inhibition compared to either the whole saliva and/or its native proteins/peptides via reducing biomass fouling and inducing biofilm dispersion beside triggering bacterial cell death. These data are valuable to bioengineer precision-guided enamel pellicles as an efficient and versatile prevention remedy. In conclusion, integrating complementary acting functional domains of salivary proteins/peptides is a novel translational approach to design multifunctional customizable enamel pellicles for caries prevention.

Abstract
In the oral environment, the acquired salivary pellicle (ASP) on the tooth surface comprises proteins, glycoproteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. The ASP can specifically and rapidly adsorb on the enamel surface to provide effective lubrication, protection, hydration, and remineralisation, as well as be recognised by various bacteria to form a microbial biofilm (plaque). The involved proteins, particularly various phosphoproteins such as statherins, histatins, and proline-rich proteins, are vital to their specific functions. This review first describes the relationship between the biological functions of these proteins and their structures. Subsequently, recent advances in functional biomedical materials derived from these proteins are reviewed in terms of dental/bone therapeutic materials, antibacterial materials, tissue engineering materials, and coatings for medical devices. Finally, perspectives and challenges regarding the rational design and biomedical applications of ASP-derived materials are discussed.

[PMID: 33740624 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2021.105106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2020] [Revised: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of statherin and its naturally occurring peptides (DR9-2, DR9, GE-12, IT-32, GQ-19, IP-18) on Candida albicans metabolism and biofilm development. DESIGN After the killing assay, a peptide pellicle was formed on the bottom of a polystyrene plate at the IC50 of each peptide. Over the peptide pellicle, Candida albicans biofilm (48 h) was grown. The peptides antimicrobial activity after the peptides treatment was evaluated by alamarBlue, total biofilm biomass and colony forming units (CFU) counting. RESULTS The pellicle with statherin and the peptides (DR9-2, DR9, GE-12, IP-18, GQ-19) was able to reduce he viability of Candida albicans compared to the negative control. They also decreased cell proliferation by 20 % and total biomass. IT-32 showed the highest reduction in cell proliferation and biomass, which was similar to the positive control, histatin 5. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the naturally occuring peptides from statherin are able to decrease Candida albicans colonization and biofilm proliferation.

Activity of Phosvitin in Hydroxyapatite Acid-Damage Immersion and Antimicrobial Assays. Biochem Res Int 2020; 2020:8831311. [PMID: 33163234 PMCID: PMC7605931 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8831311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Phosvitin, the most highly phosphorylated metal-binding protein found in nature, binds more than 100 calcium ions, and has been identified as an agent that could be used to generate biomineralization scaffolds. Because of published reports describing phosvitin's affinity for calcium and potential antibiotic activity, this study was undertaken in order to evaluate phosvitin for both antibiotic activity against common microorganisms and the ability to protect hydroxyapatite surfaces from acid damage. To more clearly define its antibiotic action, the effects of phosvitin on Micrococcus luteus, P. mirabilis, B. cereus, E. coli, and S. epidermidis were evaluated. In both Kirby–Bauer tests and liquid culture growth inhibition assays, phosvitin inhibited M. luteus, a microorganism that thrives in the human mouth, but not the other bacteria tested. The MIC of phosvitin was determined to be 31.3 μg/mL when delivered in 1 mM CaCl2 but was 0.5 mg/mL in the absence of added calcium. Expanding on the potential impacts of phosvitin on the mouth, its action was evaluated in a model of tooth decay represented by acid-damaged hydroxyapatite discs. SEM, AFM, and FAAS analyses revealed that pretreatment of discs with phosvitin modulated the damage-induced morphology and topography changes associated with acid-damaged discs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clarifying the discrepancy between frequently high oxalate concentrations present in saliva, but negligible amounts of calcium oxalate deposits found on oral surfaces. METHODS Studying the calcium oxalate concentration range that can lead to heterogeneous crystallization in the oral cavity. a) Minimum: calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) seed crystals were pre-grown ([Ca2+] = [C2O42-] = 1 mM, 30 min, 37 °C), and then re-immersed for ≥6 h to find the solubility equilibrium concentration (no growth, no dissolution). The concentrations tested were [Ca2+]/[C2O42-] : 0.055/0.050, 0.060/0.055, 0.070/0.065 and 0.080/0.075 mM. Supersaturations were calculated via the Debye-Hückel-theory and COM morphologies examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). b) Maximum (at the heterogeneous/homogeneous crystallization equilibrium): hydroxyapatite (HA) seed crystals were used to heterogeneously crystallize COM (37 °C, 24 h), using oxalate concentrations between 0.2 and 0.5 mM and calcium concentrations of 0.5 mM. COM-forming oxalate consumption was spectroscopically examined; COM precipitates were investigated by SEM; and HA identity was confirmed by X-ray analysis. RESULTS Within the concentration range of [Ca2+]/[C2O42-]:0.060/0.055 mM (minimum) and [Ca2+]/[C2O42-]:0.50/0.25 mM (maximum) COM precipitates heterogeneously. In terms of mass, this corresponds to a range of 8.04-36.53 mg/l (daily) or an average of 14.32 mg COM (mimicking e.g. plaque mineralization). Higher concentrations react homogeneously (mimicking precipitation within saliva). CONCLUSION In vivo, only ∼0.05 % oxalate present in saliva reacts with oral surfaces daily, corresponding to ∼0.0665 μmol/l or ∼9.72 μg COM per day. Calcium-consuming calcium phosphate formation and phosphoproteins such as statherin obviously hinder intraoral COM formation.

Abstract
Biomineralization is a highly regulated process where proteins/peptides-crystal interactions contribute to the shaping, phasing and aggregation of minerals. We have identified and synthesized a cementum attachment protein-derived peptide (CAP-pi), which corresponds to amino acids 40-53 of the N-terminal CAP domain (MASSDEDGTNGGAS) and its phosphorylated variant (MASpSpDEDGTNGGASp) (CAP-pip). The peptide is composed of polar and negatively charged amino acids, which are disordered, according to in silico analysis. Our results show that CAP-pi inhibits hydroxyapatite (HA) formation and growth. However, it possesses low capacity to inhibit calcium oxalate crystal growth. CAP-pip showed a stronger inhibitory effect on the formation and growth of HA. As well as a high capacity to inhibit calcium oxalate monohydrate growth, mainly due to adsorption on specific growth faces. Small peptides have many advantages over the full-size protein, including low-cost production and modulation characteristics that allow for structural changes. Our findings suggest that CAP-pip-derived peptide could possess therapeutic potential to prevent or treat pathological calcifications such as renal stones and vascular calcification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dogs' saliva is a complex mixture of inorganic and organic constituents, rich in proteins. Therefore, knowing the saliva composition of these animals is extremely important to identify the presence of proteins that may be involved in physiological and pathological mechanisms of their oral cavity. The present study aimed to characterize the proteomic profile of saliva from dogs with and without dental calculus. RESULTS Saliva samples were collected from 20 dogs. Before the collection, a visual clinical examination was performed and 8 subjects (40%) did not present any signs of dental calculus, while 12 (60%) presented dental calculus. After saliva collection, the samples were submitted to protein quantification (mBCA), and then they were prepared for analysis by nLC-ESI-MS/MS. A total of 658 unique proteins were identified, of which 225 were specific to dogs without dental calculus, 300 were specific to dogs with dental calculus, and 133 were common to all subjects. These proteins presented functions including transportation, immune response, structural, enzymatic regulation, signal transduction, transcription, metabolism, and some proteins perform functions as yet unknown. Several salivary proteins in dogs with dental calculus differed from those found in the group without dental calculus. Among the abundant proteins detected in periodontal affected cases, can be highlighting calcium-sensing receptor and transforming growth factor beta. Enrichment analysis reveled the presence of Rho GTPases signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS This research identified salivary proteins, that should be further investigated as potencial biomarkers of chronic periodontits with dental calculus formation in dogs.

Abstract
Exposure of dentinal tubules (DTs) leads to the transmission of external stimuli within the DTs, causing dental hypersensitivity (DH). To treat DH, various desensitizers have been developed for occluding DTs. However, most desensitizers commercially available or in development are only able to seal the orifices, rather than the deep regions of the DTs, thus lacking long-term stability. Herein, it is shown that the fast amyloid-like aggregation of lysozyme (lyso) conjugated with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (lyso-PEG) can afford a robust ultrathin nanofilm on the deep walls of DTs through a rapid one-step aqueous coating process (in 2 min). The resultant nanofilm provides a highly effective antifouling platform for resisting the attachment of oral bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans and induces remineralization in the DTs to seal both the orifices and depths of the DTs by forming hydroxyapatite (HAp) minerals in situ. Both in vitro and in vivo animal experiments prove that the nanofilm-coated DTs are occluded with a depth of over 60 ± 5 µ m, which is at least 6 times deeper than that reported in the literature. This approach thus demonstrates the concept that an amyloid-like proteinaceous nanofilm can offer an inexpensive, rapid, and efficient therapy for treating DH with long-term effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine demineralisation inhibition and remineralisation potential of poly-γ-glutamic acid with its possible mechanism of action on human dental enamel. METHODOLOGY Three sodium-fluoride(NaF) concentration(0.01%w/v,0.1%w/v and 0.5%w/v respectively)and two poly-γ-glutamic acid(PGGA)concentration(1%w/v and 2%w/v respectively)were prepared in 0.1 M acetic acid(pH4.0)and deionized distilled water.For de/re-mineralisation study, tooth samples (18 teeth varnished, leaving a 2 mm2 window on the mid-buccal surfaces) were immersed in respective acidified NaF and PGGA solutions. The Ca2+ release/uptake was monitored with ISE over 72-hr with increasing pH every 24-h from 4.0 to 6.0.These teeth were later subjected to cross-sectional microhardness to determine integrated mineral recovery of enamel on increasing pH of respective acidified solution.In order to determine mechanism of PGGA,two concentrations of PGGA in deionized-water-solutions were used for tooth samples immersion followed by overnight drying then later subjected to Fourier Transform Infra-Red(FT-IR) analysis.The FT-IR analysis was also carried out on PGGA powder.For control,the experiment was repeated using hydroxyapatite(HAp)pellets.The density of PGGA solutions(1%and2%)was also measured to determine their dynamic viscosities. RESULTS The ISE and microhardness testing revealed statistically significant (ρ ≤ 0.05) dissolution inhibition and remineralisation potential for tooth sample treated with acidified 2%PGGA. From the FT-IR spectra, it was observed that the profiles of the enamel and HAp surfaces treated with 1%-and 2%-PGGA solutions were similar to those of PGGA powder.It was found that the viscosity of PGGA increases with increasing concentration. CONCLUSION The study implies that 2% PGGA is more effective than NaF as forms a coating layer to protect from demineralisation and promote remineralisation of the tooth surface.

Abstract
Saliva contains a large number of proteins that play various crucial roles to maintain the oral health and tooth integrity. This oral fluid is proposed to be one of the most important host factors, serving as a special medium for monitoring aspects of microorganisms, diet and host susceptibility involved in the caries process. Extensive salivary proteomic and peptidomic studies have resulted in considerable advances in the field of biomarkers discovery for dental caries. These salivary biomarkers may be exploited for the prediction, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of dental caries, many of which could also provide the potential templates for bioactive peptides used for the biomimetic management of dental caries, rather than repairing caries lesions with artificial materials. A comprehensive understanding of the biological function of salivary proteins as well as their derived biomimetic peptides with promising potential against dental caries has been long awaited. This review overviewed a collection of current literature and addressed the majority of different functions of salivary proteins and peptides with their potential as functional biomarkers for caries risk assessment and clinical prospects for the anti-caries application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The biocompatible 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC)-polymers, which mimic a biomembrane, reduce protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion and inhibit cell attachment. The aim of this study is to clarify whether MPC-polymer can suppress the bacterial adherence in oral cavity by a crossover design. We also investigated the number of Fusobacterium nucleatum, which is the key bacterium forming dental plaque, in clinical samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind, crossover study, with two treatment periods separated by a 2-week washout period. We conducted clinical trial with 20 healthy subjects to evaluate the effect of 5% MPC-polymer mouthwash after 5 h on oral microflora. PBS was used as a control. The bacterial number in the gargling sample before and after intervention was counted by an electronic bacterial counter and a culture method. DNA amounts of total bacteria and F. nucleatum were examined by q-PCR. RESULTS The numbers of total bacteria and oral streptcocci after 5 h of 5% MPC-polymer treatment significantly decreased, compared to the control group. Moreover, the DNA amounts of total bacteria and F. nucleatum significantly decreased by 5% MPC-polymer mouthwash. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that MPC-polymer coating in the oral cavity may suppress the oral bacterial adherence. CLINICAL RELEVANCE MPC-polymer can be a potent compound for the control of oral microflora to prevent oral infection.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that duplication/hybridization of functional domains of naturally occurring pellicle peptides amplified the inhibitory effect of hydroxyapatite crystal growth, which is related to enamel remineralization and dental calculus formation. Histatin 3, statherin, their functional domains (RR14 and DR9), and engineered peptides (DR9-DR9 and DR9-RR14) were tested at seven different concentrations to evaluate the effect on hydroxyapatite crystal growth inhibition. A microplate colorimetric assay was used to quantify hydroxyapatite crystal growth. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was determined for each group. ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls pairwise comparisons were used to compare the groups. DR9-DR9 increased the inhibitory effect of hydroxyapatite crystal growth compared to single DR9 (p < 0.05), indicating that functional domain multiplication represented a strong protein evolution pathway. Interestingly, the hybrid peptide DR9-RR14 had an intermediate inhibitory effect compared to DR9 and DR9-DR9. This study used an engineered peptide approach to investigate a potential evolution protein pathway related to duplication/hybridization of acquired enamel pellicle's natural peptide constituents, contributing to the development of synthetic peptides for therapeutic use against dental caries and periodontal disease.

Abstract
This work describes the current state of research on the potential relationship between protein content in human saliva and dental caries, which remains among the most common oral diseases and causes irreversible damage in the oral cavity. An understanding the whole saliva proteome in the oral cavity could serve as a prerequisite to obtaining insight into the etiology of tooth decay at early stages. To date, however, there is no comprehensive evidence showing that salivary proteins could serve as potential indicators for the early diagnosis of the risk factors causing dental caries. Therefore, proteomics indicates the promising direction of future investigations of such factors, including diagnosis and thus prevention in dental therapy.

Abstract
Early childhood caries (ECC) is a term used to describe dental caries in children aged 6 years or younger. Oral streptococci, such as Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sorbrinus, are considered to be the main etiological agents of tooth decay in children. Other bacteria, such as Prevotella spp. and Lactobacillus spp., and fungus, that is, Candida albicans, are related to the development and progression of ECC. Biomolecules in saliva, mainly proteins, affect the survival of oral microorganisms by multiple innate defensive mechanisms, thus modulating the oral microflora. Therefore, the protein composition of saliva can be a sensitive indicator for dental health. Resistance or susceptibility to caries may be significantly correlated with alterations in salivary protein components. Some oral microorganisms and saliva proteins may serve as useful biomarkers in predicting the risk and prognosis of caries. Current research has generated abundant information that contributes to a better understanding of the roles of microorganisms and salivary proteins in ECC occurrence and prevention. This review summarizes the microorganisms that cause caries and tooth-protective salivary proteins with their potential as functional biomarkers for ECC risk assessment. The identification of biomarkers for children at high risk of ECC is not only critical for early diagnosis but also important for preventing and treating the disease.

Abstract
The surface structure and hydrophilicity of synthetic nanocrystalline apatite with strongly bound citrates on their surface are here investigated at the molecular level, by combining advanced IR spectroscopy, microgravimetry and adsorption microcalorimetry. Citrate are found to form unidentate-like and ionic-like complexes with surface Ca2+ ions, with a surface coverage closely resembling that present in bone apatite platelets (i.e., 1 molecule/(n nm)2, with n ranging between 1.4 and 1.6). These surface complexes are part of a hydrated non-apatitic surface layer with a sub-nanometre thickness. Noticeably, it is found that the hydrophilicity of the nanoparticles, measured in terms of adsorption of water molecules in the form of multilayers, decreases in a significant extent in relation to the presence of citrates, most likely because of the exposure toward the exterior of –CH2 groups. Our findings provide new insights on the surface properties of bio-inspired nano-apatites, which can be of great relevance for better understanding the role of citrate in determining important interfacial properties, such as hydrophobicity, of bone apatite platelets. The evaluation and comprehension of surface composition and structure is also of paramount interest to strictly control the functions of synthetic biomaterials, since their surface chemistry strongly affects the hosting tissue response.

Abstract
The acquired enamel pellicle is an oral, fluid-derived protein layer that forms on the tooth surface. It is a biologically and clinically important integument that protects teeth against enamel demineralization, and abrasion. Tooth surfaces are exposed to different proteinaceous microenvironments depending on the enamel location. For instance, tooth surfaces close to the gingival sulcus contact serum proteins that emanate via this sulcus, which may impact pellicle composition locally. The aims of this study were to define the major salivary and serum components that adsorb to hydroxyapatite, to study competition among them, and to obtain preliminary evidence in an in vivo saliva/serum pellicle model. Hydroxyapatite powder was incubated with saliva and serum, and the proteins that adsorbed were identified by mass spectrometry. To study competition, saliva and serum proteins were labeled with CyDyes, mixed in various proportions, and incubated with hydroxyapatite. In vivo competition was assessed using a split-mouth design, with half the buccal tooth surfaces coated with serum and the other half with saliva. After exposure to the oral environment for 0 min, 30 min and 2 h, the pellicles were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. In pure saliva- or serum-derived pellicles, 82 and 84 proteins were identified, respectively. When present concomitantly, salivary protein adsorbers effectively competed with serum protein adsorbers for the hydroxyapatite surface. Specifically, acidic proline-rich protein, cystatin, statherin and protein S100-A9 proteins competed off apolipoproteins, complement C4-A, haptoglobin, transthyretin and serotransferrin. In vivo evidence further supported the replacement of serum proteins by salivary proteins. In conclusion, although significant numbers of serum proteins emanate from the gingival sulcus, their ability to participate in dental pellicle formation is likely reduced in the presence of strong salivary protein adsorbers. The functional properties of the acquired enamel pellicle will therefore be mostly dictated by the salivary component.
