ABSTRACT

In this review, the structure and biological characteristics of antimicrobial peptides were described, and the anti-fungal mechanisms related to membrane damage and non-membrane damage was discussed. The prospective clinical applications of antimicrobial peptides were introduced. Thus, the theoretical basis for the in-depth research on the anti-fungal mechanisms of antimicrobial peptides and the clinical development and application is provided.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the antibacterial property and biological activity of Ti dental implant with antimicrobial peptide Pac-525 coatings, and to study the effect of peptide Pac-525 coatings on Porphyromonas gingivalis's antibacterial performance and osteoblast proliferation and adhesion.@*Methods@#After ultrasonic micro arc oxidation, alkali treatment and silane treatment, forty-five pure titanium specimens were exposed to antibacterial peptide Pac-525 in different concentration (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 g/L). The titanium specimens in the control group were only treated with ultrasonic micro arc oxidation, alkali treatment and silane treatment. The morphologies of coatings were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the element changes were detected by energy spectrum analyzer. Orange acridine-ethidium bromide double staining was used to detect the average percentage of live bacteria and biofilm thickness, after the specimens in each group and Porphyromonas gingivalis were co-cultured for 72 hours. Cell counting Kit-8 method and immunofluorescence staining were used to test the proliferation of osteoblasts, the number and growth morphologies of adherent cells, respectively.@*Results@#SEM and energy spectrum analysis showed that the Pac-525 particles loaded on the surface of the coating, and the C and N elements in the Pac-525 coating group were significantly more than those in the control group. The average percentage of living bacteria in the control group, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 g/L antimicrobial peptides were 0.58%, 0.45%, 0.34% and 0.28%, respectively, and the difference between each group was statistically significant (P<0.05). The biofilm thickness of Porphyromonas gingivalis in 0.50 and 0.75 g/L antibacterial peptide group were (98.3±1.2) and (94.5±2.5) μm respectively, which were significantly less than those in control group and 0.25 g/L antibacterial peptide group [(117.6±1.5) and (118.0±1.3) μm] (P<0.05), respectively. The number of bone cell adhesion and proliferation of all antimicrobial peptides were significantly greater than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the cells stretched better.@*Conclusions@#The antibacterial peptide coating of titanium implants could inhibit the formation of bacterial biofilm. It had good antibacterial properties and could promote the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the effects of combined application of culture supernatant of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) and ciprofloxacin on Staphylococcus aureus (SA) in vitro.@*Methods@#hUCMSCs were isolated from umbilical cord tissue of full-term healthy fetus after cesarean section and cultured. Cells in the third passage were used in the experiments after identification. SA strains isolated from wounds of burn patients in our burn wards were used in the experiments. Cells were divided into 0, 10, 100, and 1 000 ng/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) groups according to the random number table (the same dividing method below). Cells were cultured with culture medium of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) after being treated with medium containing the corresponding mass concentrations of LPS for 12 h. At post culture hour (PCH) 6, 12, and 24, 6 wells of culture supernatant of cells in each group were obtained to measure the content of LL-37 with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Ninety blood agar plates were divided into ciprofloxacin control group (CC), ciprofloxacin+ supernatant group (CS), and ciprofloxacin+ supernatant+ LL-37 antibody group (CSL), with 30 blood agar plates in each group. Blood agar plates in group CC were coated with 1.5×108 colony forming unit (CFU)/mL bacteria solution prepared with normal saline. Blood agar plates in group CS were coated with 1.5×108 CFU/mL bacteria solution prepared with normal saline and culture supernatant of hUCMSCs (cultured by culture medium of MSCs, the same below) in double volume of normal saline. Blood agar plates in group CSL were coated with 1.5×108 CFU/mL bacteria solution prepared with normal saline, culture supernatant of hUCMSCs in double volume of normal saline, and 2.6 μL LL-37 antibody in the concentration of 2 μg/mL. At PCH 12, 24, and 48, 10 blood agar plates of each group were harvested to observe the distribution of SA colony on blood agar plate and to measure the diameter of bacterial inhibition ring of ciprofloxacin. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ciprofloxacin against SA of each group was recorded. Fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indexes of ciprofloxacin in groups CS and CSL at PCH 12, 24, and 48 were calculated, and the effect of synergy was evaluated. Data were processed with analysis of variance of factorial design, one-way analysis of variance, LSD-t test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Mann-Whitney U test.@*Results@#(1) At each PCH, the content of LL-37 in culture supernatant of cells in 10, 100, and 1 000 ng/mL LPS groups was higher than that in 0 ng/mL LPS group (with t values from 11.22 to 33.36, P values below 0.01); the content of LL-37 in culture supernatant of cells in 100 and 1 000 ng/mL LPS groups was higher than that in 10 ng/mL LPS group (with t values from 2.24 to 18.73, P<0.05 or P<0.01); the content of LL-37 in culture supernatant of cells in 1 000 ng/mL LPS group was higher than that in 100 ng/mL LPS group (with t values from 12.46 to 14.70, P values below 0.01). (2) At PCH 12, 24, and 48, the bacterial colonies in groups CC, CS, and CSL began to integrate over time. At PCH 12, 24, and 48, the diameters of bacterial inhibition ring of ciprofloxacin in group CC were 26, 24, and 23 mm, respectively, with no obvious change. At PCH 12, 24, and 48, the diameters of bacterial inhibition ring of ciprofloxacin in groups CS and CSL were 82, 71, 68 mm, and 74, 59, 56 mm, respectively, significantly longer than those of group CC. (3) At each PCH, the MIC of ciprofloxacin against SA was significantly higher in group CC than in groups CS and CSL (with Z values from 6.22 to 6.71, P values below 0.01); the MIC of ciprofloxacin against SA was significantly higher in group CSL than in group CS (with Z values all equal to 6.72, P values below 0.01). (4) FIC indexes of ciprofloxacin in groups CS and CSL at PCH 12, 24, and 48 were 0.011, 0.032, 0.032, and 0.122, 0.350, 0.350, respectively. The results indicated that culture supernatant of hUCMSCs had synergistically antibacterial effect on ciprofloxacin.@*Conclusions@#hUCMSCs can secrete LL-37, and the secretion level is increased with increase of LPS concentration. Combination of culture supernatant of hUCMSCs and ciprofloxacin can decrease the dosage of ciprofloxacin in resisting SA. Once LL-37 is neutralized, the synergistically antibacterial effect of culture supernatant of hUCMSCs is decreased.
