Periodontal disease develops as a result of oral microbiota in dysbiosis, followed by the growth of periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia. In case of acute symptoms, antibacterial agents and disinfectants are administered, however the appearance of drug-resistant bacteria and allergies cause problems. In recent years, studies on the effects of probiotics have been conducted as an alternative therapy for periodontitis. However, the basic mechanism of the inhibitory effect of probiotic bacteria on periodontal disease has not been clearly elucidated. To clarify the antibacterial mechanism of probiotics against periodontal pathogens, we used Limosilactobacillus (Lactobacillus) fermentum ALAL020, which showed the strongest antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis and P. intermedia among 50 screened lactic acid bacteria strains. The antibacterial substances produced were identified and structurally analyzed. After neutralizing the MRS liquid culture supernatant of ALAL020 strain, the molecular weight (m/z) of the main antibacterial substance separated by gel filtration column chromatography and reverse phase HPLC was 226.131. This low molecular weight compound was analyzed by LC-MS and disclosed the composition formula C11H18O3N2, however the molecular structure remained unknown. Then, structural analysis by NMR revealed C11H18O3N2 as the cyclic dipeptide, “hexahydro-7-hydroxy-3- (2-methylpropyl) pyrrolo [1,2-a] pyrazine-1,4-dion cyclo (Hyp-Leu) “. Based on the results of this analysis, cyclo (Hyp-Leu) was chemically synthesized and the antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis and P. intermedia was measured. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 2.5 g/L and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was shown to be less than 5 g/L. In addition, an in vitro epithelial tissue irritation test at 10 g/L showed no tissue toxicity. So far there are no reports of this peptide being produced by probiotic bacteria. Furthermore, antibacterial activity of this cyclic dipeptide against periodontal disease bacteria has not been confirmed. The results of this study might lead to a comprehensive understanding of the antibacterial mechanism against periodontal disease bacteria in future, and are considered applicable for the prevention of periodontal disease.
牙周疾病是由口腔微
生物群落失调引起的,随后是牙周病原菌(如牙龈
卟啉菌和中间丛菌)的增长。在急性症状的情况下,会使用抗菌剂和消毒剂,但耐药菌和过敏引起问题。近年来,对益生菌治疗牙周炎的影响进行了研究作为替代疗法。然而,益生菌对牙周疾病的抑制作用的基本机制尚未得到明确阐明。为了阐明益生菌对牙周病原菌的抗菌机制,我们使用了50个筛选的

卟啉菌和中间丛菌的抗菌活性最强的Limosi
LActobacillus (
LActobacillus) fermentum A
LAL020。已经确定并结构分析了产生的抗菌物质。在中和A
LAL020菌株的MRS液体培养上清液后,通过凝胶过滤柱层析和反相高效
液相色谱法分离的主要抗菌物质的分子量(m/z)为226.131。这种低分子量化合物通过LC-MS分析,揭示了C11H18O3N2的组成式,但分子结构仍未知。然后,通过NMR的结构分析,发现C11H18O3N2是环状二肽“六氢-7-羟基-3-(2-甲基丙基)
吡咯[1,2-a]
吡嗪-1,4-二酮环(Hyp-Leu)”。根据这种分析的结果,合成了环(Hyp-Leu),并测量了其对牙龈
卟啉菌和中间丛菌的抗菌活性。最小抑菌浓度(MIC)为2.5 g / L,最小杀菌浓度(MBC)小于5 g / L。此外,10 g / L的体外上皮组织刺激试验未显示组织毒性。迄今为止,没有报道益生菌产生这种肽。此外,这种环状二肽对牙周疾病细菌的抗菌活性尚未得到确认。本研究的结果可能导致未来对牙周疾病细菌的抗菌机制的全面了解,并被认为适用于预防牙周疾病。
